Baby shower - is it raining babies?

Have you ever wondered what a baby shower actually is? This type of baby shower has not been known to us for so long, but in the USA and Great Britain people have been showering diligently for a long time! At the baby shower, of course, it doesn't rain babies, but there are presents for the baby and its happy parents.

On the one hand, the mother-to-be can invite to a baby shower, or she can simply be surprised by friends with this beautiful party.

A baby shower is a very nice gesture to show your pregnant friend or sister how happy you are for them.

What is absolutely necessary?

A baby shower is very individual and under the motto “everything can be done and nothing has to be done”, it is mainly women who spend a lovely afternoon or evening with their expectant mother. Atmospheric decoration, enough to eat and drink, and plenty of time to exchange ideas, laugh and enjoy together - because everyone knows that someone else will set the pace for the next few months - that's all you really need.

Food and Drink

It becomes very relaxed when everyone contributes a little something to the buffet! Appetizers that are also suitable for a picnic save dishes and the subsequent work of washing up! Cake pops, muffins or simply a juicy marble bundt cake should definitely be included as a sweet ending.

Play and fun

A baby shower is definitely the place for fun games! For example, all guests could bring a baby photo of themselves and then puzzle together. Or you can provide a few white baby bodysuits and textile pens and nothing will stand in the way of getting creative together. The classic city-country-river can also be easily modified for the baby shower; the categories can include everything from children's songs to items of clothing and baby names. A camera should definitely be included so that all the funny moments can be captured for eternity.

In the shower of gifts

Traditionally, the soon-to-be mommy is given gifts by the guests, hence the name baby shower. Nice little things like muslin cloths and diapers, socks, etc. are sure to make parents happy. To avoid giving away the same things twice or three times, vouchers are also a good choice! In our online shop, in addition to the vouchers , you will also find a first sleeping bag made of organic cotton and a cuddly soft bath towel , also in organic quality. Or all guests pool together and invest in a baby bed made from local pine wood, thus ensuring a restful sleep for the whole family.
