A baby shower is a celebration held in anticipation of the imminent or recent birth of a baby. As part of the party, the parents of the child receive gifts, usually intended for their child.
The English notion can be literally translated as “baby shower”, although this denomination of the celebration is associated with the “shower” of gifts that the parents receive. In our language the event is also referred to as a birth party or baby shower.
Generally, the baby shower is celebrated when there is very little time left before the birth. One of the reasons for this is that the expectant mother can forget about the pain and discomfort typical of pregnancy for a few hours. The organization is not easy, since it is necessary to find a date on which most of the family and friends are available, and that the honorees consider suitable for the reception.
