Baby Showers
Having a baby is a momentous occasion, but one that comes with a lot of accessories. Throwing a baby shower is a great way to emotionally support the expecting mother as well as gift items needed to take care of the newborn.
Whether you’re a mom-to-be or in charge of arranging the festivities, The Ballroom at Bayou Place would love to help you throw a memorable baby shower. As the premier baby shower venue in Houston, TX, we know how to bring friends and family together in one place to celebrate a pregnancy.
Why Are Baby Showers Important?
The tradition of giving gifts to mothers rose to prominence in the Victorian era. Celebrations occurred after birth because women during that time hid pregnancies as long as possible and withdrew from public life once it could no longer be hidden. Once the child was born, female friends and family would hold a tea party for the new mother. When gifts were given, they were often handmade.
The modern baby shower is a party to celebrate the impending birth, and both the mom- and baby-to-be are focal points. The aim is to be there for the mom and gift items needed to care for the child. There are many more reasons to host a baby shower.
- It’s About Spending Time With Those You Love
- The Mother-To-Be Deserves It
- It’s A Fun Experience
- It’s Where Memories Are Made
- The Presents
- The Food
There are few things better than having all the people you love under one roof. Throw in gifts, cake, and laughs, and you’re set for a fantastic day.
