Baby Shower Party Etiquette
A Baby Shower Party is a special, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime, event for many mothers-to-be and an occasion for her to share with friends, rejoice in her pregnancy, and feel special.
Traditionally Baby Shower Parties are hosted by a non-relative of the mother-to-be.
A close friend, or friends, of the mother-to-be are the traditional hosts, although in recent years it has become acceptable for members of the extended family to host a Baby Shower Party.
These might include a grandmother-to-be, a cousin, sister-in-law, or anyone close to the mother-to-be, but not an immediate family member.
And it's not unusual for a Baby Shower Party to be hosted by a co-worker, or group of co-workers.
Increasingly, Baby Shower Parties are being hosted by two or more close friends and relatives to defray the costs and share the hosting responsibilities.
At Itty Bitty Bellies we are confident that our quality products will help make your Baby Shower Party a success.
Etiquette NO-NO's
Everyone enjoys a party, and often it's a matter of 'any excuse will do', however the mother-to-be and her immediate family should NOT host a Baby Shower Party for her/their new arrival.
Reason. It will inevitably be seen as a selfish, gift-getting exercise with few or no-one attending. And, in the very worst instance, it can harm friendships.
