English

A baby shower, also known as a baby gift-giving party, is a traditional custom in Western countries to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new life. In the United States, the expectant mother's friends and relatives will carefully organize a party to send blessings and gifts to the expectant mother and the baby-to-be.

The party is usually held in the later stages of pregnancy, with flexible time arrangements, which can be lunch, afternoon tea, or a dinner party. The party content is rich and colorful, including games, food, sharing, and best wishes for the baby's future. In American culture, the baby shower symbolizes a welcome to new life and blessings for the family. It is not only an occasion for gift-giving, but also an important moment for sharing joy, strengthening relationships, and conveying blessings.

The participation of friends and relatives not only expresses congratulations to the expectant parents but also provides them with invaluable support and help, welcoming the arrival of new life together. The scale and form of the party vary, it can be a small family gathering or a large-scale grand banquet, all depending on the preferences and budget of the expectant parents.

In American society, the baby shower has become a common cultural phenomenon, and almost every family will hold a baby shower for their soon-to-be-born baby. Many businesses have also sensed the business opportunities and provide a variety of baby shower supplies and services to meet people's growing needs. This also reflects American society's emphasis on family and children, as well as the enthusiastic anticipation of new life.
