In some countries, a baby shower is a way to celebrate the pending or recent birth of a child by presenting gifts to the parents at a party. The term "shower" is often assumed to mean that the expectant mother is "showered" with gifts. Traditionally, baby showers were given only for the family's first child, and only women attend. The original intent was for women to share wisdom and lessons on the art of becoming a mother. Over time, it has become common to hold them for subsequent or adopted children, and/or invite men as well. Yet, it is not uncommon for a parent to have more than one baby shower, such as one with friends and another with co-workers.

Some classic activities at baby showers include:

• Baby shower bingo
• Guess the birth date
• Guess the expectant mother's girth: guests cut pieces of ribbon, yarn, or toilet paper to a length they believe matches the mother-to-be's tummy circumference. Another similar game is tying a string around her abdomen, and if it breaks for one person, it's expected she is the next new parent
• Guess the baby food flavour: guests have to taste-test several flavours of baby food and try to identify them
• Other games include a diaper, with candies or chocolates, throw game
• Opening the gifts in front of the guests
• Serving cake, though any type of food or beverage might be served
• Pass the package
• Sharing 3D ultrasound pictures of their unborn baby: to "include the baby" in the baby shower
