Baby Shower Traditions

As a mother of four I’ve had a few baby showers that I have had, while I also went to a few dozen or so. But I recently posted about Top 5 Baby Shower Games and I must say I’ve always enjoyed these myself and know others do as well. But one reader posed a question that really got me thinking:

Trisha

Have more black people games! Thank-you

So instead of looking this up I’ve decided to let ya’ll have some fun and list some family traditions you’ve included in your baby showers. If you know of any games specially geared towards your own ethnic group include those as well. You never know who’ll come across this and they too might be looking for games like this.

For myself the games I listed are the ones we have always played, but something else we include is if the mom-to-be already has a child we make sure she/he will be present and give them a couple gifts as well. We also make little hats out of all the gift wrap, kind of like we do at bridal showers and have the mom wear it. A baby shower is normally done right before the mom-to-be is about to give birth or if missed it is done a week or two after the baby is born.

What traditions do you have for baby showers?
