Whether it be a son or a daughter, couples anticipating their newborn would normally feel elated and beyond this world and in a way pressured for the new responsibility that awaits them. However, such pressure can be eased through a baby shower, where friends and family members close to you get to give you gifts to better equip you for the new chapter of your lives.
How Baby Showers Were Celebrated Then and Now?
What started this affair of showering the couples with gifts in a baby shower is derived from the tradition of bridal showers. Notably, one during the Victorian-era is the more obvious inspiration for these showers. It is when friends gather together, including the bride-to-be, to send her well wishes and of course, give her gifts. The gifts were placed inside a parasol, which was then placed over the bride-to-be to make it as if she was being showered with gifts, thus the term”showers”. Back then, it seemed more elaborate, which is far from how it is usually done now in a more modern setting.
And as tradition goes, baby showers were commonly only organized by close friends of the parents-to-be and never by the couple themselves or any of the family members intermediate to them. The reason for this is because it was believed to be inappropriate to ask for gifts from people. However, now that we are in a more modern setting, with people more open to new ideas, the event has developed into something far from how it was before. Although there are still some who openly embrace the tradition and ardently follow the “only friends can organize” rule, most parents nowadays organize the event themselves. They get to be more hands-on and more active with how they want their event to go. This occurrence has led couples to organize baby showers to be how they have envisioned it themselves, how they prefer and one they truly resonate with, from themes to foods, and so much more.
