What is a baby shower?
Baby showers have become very popular in recent years. They are organised when a pregnant mother wants to share her joy with friends and family about the arrival of the baby.
Sometimes it is the parents themselves who organize it, but on other occasions they are surprise parties organized by family and friends of the couple to surprise them.
All the decoration, colors and decorations are children's themed, with pastel pink and blue colors, candy and snack tables are usually set up and future parents usually receive gifts and details for the baby.
Baby showers are usually held from the seventh month of pregnancy , when the baby is about to arrive, although they can be held after the baby is born. Some parents take advantage of this party beforehand to take advantage of the occasion to reveal the sex of the baby to the whole family.
