Baby Showers in Australia
Baby showers have become one of Australia's most popular ways of celebrating the arrival of a new baby. While traditionally hosted by close friends or family members, today many parents-to-be also organise their own celebration to bring together loved ones before their baby's arrival.
Most Australian baby showers are held between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. This timing allows the expecting mum to comfortably enjoy the celebration while still having enough time to prepare for the baby's arrival.
Modern Australian baby showers range from relaxed backyard gatherings through to professionally styled events held at cafés, restaurants and function venues. Popular themes include teddy bears, woodland animals, neutral colours, floral designs and boho styling.
