About British Baby Shower
Hi Everyone,
My idea for British Baby Shower came about when I was
pregnant with my little boy Brayden.
Before Brayden was born I wanted to celebrate my pregnancy with my friends
and family, so I decided the best way to do this was to organize my own
baby shower.
Brayden, 9 weeks old.
After seeing baby showers on U.S. TV I had a rough idea of what they entailed,
however I still had to do more research - this took me a lot longer than
expected.
I also found that baby shower items were limited in Britain so I had to
order everything I needed for my baby shower from the U.S.
This meant I went over my budget and made my baby shower experience stressful
especially when the party items arrived later than expected which forced
me to postpone the date.
Our PARTY
PACK solves these problems and makes organizing
a baby shower cheaper, easier and more enjoyable.
With everything you need for a perfect baby shower party,
from plates to games – it’s all included!
Me, at My Baby Shower.
On the day of my baby shower I was very excited; however I found it difficult
to host my shower as well as being the Mum-to-be!
It was at this point I realized that my baby shower would have been more
enjoyable if someone else had organized my shower for me.
This is where the concept of providing our customers with PARTY
PLANNERS came from. Having a PARTY PLANNER allows
the Mum-to-be as well as guests to relax and have some FUN!
In addition to bringing gifts to my baby shower I asked my guests to bring
an item that was special to them to put in a TIME
CAPSULE for my little boy Brayden to open on his 16th
Birthday.
This is when I had the idea to put our PARTY
PACK in an aluminum lockable case.
The case can then be used as the new baby’s TIME
CAPSULE.
Even though organizing my own baby shower was tiring, I was rewarded with
positive feedback from my friends and family who have never been to a
baby shower before!
Guests, at My Baby Shower.
I hope you find our website useful and your baby shower is as memorable
as mine.

HISTORY
The baby shower has been stated by many sources to be originated in the late eighteen hundreds and received its name from the "showering" of love and gifts for the mommy-to-be. The baby shower started as a tea party for only women who would share the day with the mommy-to-be and her female family members. The gifts given to the new mom were very practical in nature as well as handmade.
A baby shower was originally offered for the first baby of the mommy-to-be but that tradition has changed to being for all "new additions" to a family since they are all miracles and deserve to be showered with love and gifts. Typically, the baby shower is thrown in an afternoon time on a weekend when everyone can attend. The person throwing the baby shower is usually a family member (cousin, aunt, etc.) or close family friend. Originally, one baby shower would be thrown for a mommy-to-be, but today many women have more than one party because they have different groups of friends, co-workers and family members.
A baby shower can range from very elegant to very casual, depending on the mood you would like to set! They can take place at a restaurant, bar, country club or someone's home and usually don't take place for more than a few hours. It is customary for the mommy-to-be to receive baby shower gifts from her guests as well as give gifts out to the women who plan the baby shower.
The baby shower is known for usually serving some type of food, whether
a meal or snacks and can range from being a very inexpensive party to
one that is expensive. It is important to remember that the baby shower
party is not about who can spend the most or impress their baby shower
guests, but who can create a memorable time with great friends and have
lots of laughs.
