A shower is simply the chance for your family and friends to share your joy and to help you get started in this new phase of your life.</p>
<p>So, why not keep it simple? Ask family and friends to have a party instead of a shower. Invite husbands and children to share in your happiness? Have a barbecue or a pizza party, share ethnic foods like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht">borscht</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitfo">kitfo. </a>Or, just for kicks&#8230;have a shower at the local roller rink. It will certainly get people talking!</p>
<p>Additionally, ask if you can help your host decorate for the party, especially if you are adopting internationally. When a neighbor friend threw a shower for us I found small Matroyska pins that she made into table favors.  (If you are adopting domestically consider using the state as the theme&#8230;Babies from Nevada gamble, right?)</p>
