The baby shower originated in the late eighteen hundreds and got its name from the "showering" of love and gifts for the Mommy-to-Be, ( ?page_name=All_About_Baby_Showers" All About Baby Showers ). The baby shower started as a tea party for only women who would share the day with the Mommy-to-Be and her female family members. The gifts given to the new mom were very practical in nature as well as handmade.

Baby showers are joyful occasions, times when family and friends gather to congratulate the Mommy-to-Be, play baby shower games, give baby shower gifts and eat. But, the purpose of a baby shower is a lot more than just fun and games. Baby Showers offer an opportunity for family members and friends to offer advice and support to the soon-to-be mommy and daddy.
