What is a Baby Shower?

The tradition of showering an expectant mummy with gifts and a party is a recent import from the US and it is already gaining grounds in the UK. To be honest, there is no nicer way to treat a mum-to-be than to throw her a baby shower and a baby shower party invitation is one that everyone is likely to say yes to.

So what is a baby shower all about? It is a party that is held in honour of a mum-to-be. It is a wonderful opportunity to shower her with gifts and to treat her with special love and attention. It is a perfect time for a girlie get-together to celebrate the big event. However, these days, 'couples' baby showers are becoming more and more popular so dad is not excluded in all the fun.

Who should organise a Baby Shower? Everyone apart from the mum herself.

What does a Baby Shower involve? Usually cakes, cocktails, lots of baby essentials, baby shower favours, a traditional centerpiece (Click to see our nappy cakes), and lots of ‘baby’ games.


Anyone that’s ever had a baby already knows that preparing for a newborn is no small feat, especially if it’s the first baby. New parents need lots of baby items which can easily cost a lot when all is added up. So a baby shower is a perfect time to help out with a few essentials not to mention luxurious gifts. The host can organize to have a baby list (this list works just like a wedding list except that this is for babies). The good thing about the baby list is that there are fewer duplicates and of course a coordinated nursery.

A well-organised baby shower will help feather a friends nest and leave the new parents with lots of pleasant memories.
