It starts with baby announcements soon after its time for the shower

An exciting time of every new couples life is when it comes time to go to the store to buy the baby announcements. A new child being born and coming into the family is a monumentally important moment in the life of any couple. There is excitement, wonder, and joy in a parents eyes when moments like these occur. In traditional American culture, new mothers are thrown a baby shower while the child is in the womb on the way. It is an exciting time, preparing all of the envelopes for the baby announcements and planning all of the decorations for the baby shower.
Baby showers originated from New York City in the eighteenth century. A baby shower is a formal party for the mother to be, where baby announcements are sent out with formal invitations to friends and family of the future mother. Baby showers are traditionally attended only by women not men. The original idea was that other women would share advice about motherhood with the future mother, thus helping to prepare her for her future child.
A baby shower is generally planned by a close friend or relative once the baby announcements have been sent out to the friends and family announcing the babies future arrival. The individual who is responsible for planning the baby shower has to wait for the baby announcements as the shower is generally held somewhat close to the planned birth date of the baby. The individual planning the baby shower is responsible for planning the party, sending out initiations or sometimes baby announcements, finding an establishment to host the party, a caterer to provide food for the party, and the gifts. The gifts are a major part of a baby shower. Baby announcements inform the friends and family that the baby is coming and that there are many items the future mother will need for the baby. The future mother will create a list of things the baby will need, and inform the party planner of this list. The party planner will then distribute this list to those invited to the party so that everyone can choose a gift to bring.
It starts with the baby announcements and turns into a gigantic party for the mother to be. Baby showers signal good things to come. Someone special is on their way.
