Baby showers are generally held in the later stages of pregnancy
(in the last 2 months, for instance). There are, however,
certain cultural beliefs that make people purposefully wait for
the baby to arrive before having a baby shower. Adoptive
parents, at times, wait until after the adoption is final and
the baby has arrived in their home.
Baby showers are generally organized by close friends,
relatives, or co-workers of the expectant parents (because baby
showers center on gift-giving, it is considered inappropriate
for a family member to host such events).
In its early form, baby showers were held

exclusively for
mothers-to-be, and only women were invited to attend the party.
In addition, baby showers were traditionally held only for the
first child. Today, however, many people arrange baby showers
for both parents, and they can now be also arranged for every
succeeding children (even children who have been adopted).
Activities in a baby shower typically include games, special
activies, presents, and, most especially, food.
