Planning a baby shower?
Copyright 2008 StorkandVeil.com
This is a great way to celebrate the joy of a new baby.
Baby shower gifts of money or any necessary or fun gifts
are intended to help parents get things that they need
for their baby layette items, baby clothes, bath accessories
and other items related to baby care, taking a bite out of
the often high expense of preparing for a new child
as well as fun things that make the practical gift
a joy to receive.
Baby showers up till now have been
held only for the mother-to-be, and only women attended but today, many people choose to have
baby showers for both parents, and some people have a men-only shower. Daddy's diaper shower
refers to a men-only shower for the dad-to-be, usually held the same night as the women's baby
shower. The men usually give the daddy-to-be diapers only because the mommy-to-be is getting
other items at the shower.
Grandma's shower refers to a shower
at which people bring items for the grandparents
to keep at their house, such as a collapsible crib
and a changing pad .It is not uncommon for
a parent to have more than one baby shower,
such as one with friends and another with co-workers.
Baby showers have taken on a flair of celebration that
may even rival the typical wedding shower.
Themes may be based on the mom’s chosen decor for the baby’s room. Elaborate teas or
luncheons are fairly common. Gifts include not only the practical and more expensive (often the cost
being shared among several friends or family members), but the unique, unusual and unexpected
baby gift that puts a different twist on the traditional presentation of clothing and bath items.

Personalized gifts for family members such as the big sister,
big brother, new Dad and Grandparents have expanded the
celebration of the event. Special gifts that recognize children
who have been adopted are also now available.
Baby-themed games during the shower add to the
atmosphere and get everyone involved. Baby shower favors
add personal keepsakes for the attendees. Coordinating
tableware and centerpieces such as diaper cakes, are often
done around a theme such as fairy tales, animals, nursery
rhymes and favorite cartoon characters.

Diaper cakes constructed from rolled diapers stuffed with baby
clothing, keepsakes and, of course, diapers can be the talk of the
party. Most showers are given before the birth of the baby but it is
unusual to wait until after the baby has been born. Most parents
today have already found out what gender the baby will be but if not,
a neutral theme of colors such as yellow or green are often used
along with gifts that would be appropriate for either a boy or a girl.

While there are many ways to host a baby shower, there are some
traditional activities that are common at baby showers. Often,
showers are luncheon or afternoon tea parties. The most important
part of the baby shower is gathering the mother-to-be's (and/or the
dad-to-be) friends and family around to celebrate the coming of a
baby. Including a few fun baby and/or new parent related baby
shower games can make it a real party atmosphere. Usually, at a
baby shower the guest of honor opens the gifts in front of the other
guests. This allows everyone to admire the tiny clothing and fun
baby gear and enjoy the reactions of the mom.
