"Do You Know About a Baby Shower? A Celebration Party for Expecting Moms!"

What is a Baby Shower?*
It is a celebration party for pregnant women that originated in the United States♡ The party is held around the 8-month mark of pregnancy when the mother is in the stable period before the baby is born, where necessary items are given as gifts in a "shower" of love!♩
Previously, it was a party held only for adult women, somewhat like a bachelor party for men, combining elements of enjoying being a "woman" before becoming a mother*
Now, it has become common to invite various people, not just women, and many organize it grandly like a wedding♩
