A baby shower is a celebration held to honor an expectant mother and her upcoming arrival of a new baby. Typically organized by friends or family, this event often includes games, food, and gifts for the mother-to-be. Guests usually bring items that the parents will need for the baby, such as clothing, diapers, and toys. The tradition of baby showers varies by culture but generally focuses on providing support and joy to the new parents. These gatherings can take place at homes, community centers, or restaurants, and they often feature a theme that reflects the parents' preferences or the baby's gender.
