Re: Baby Shower/Gaud Barhayi Rasam
Shikra: Are you also against birthday parties, anniversaries, and eedy on Eid?
I don't know how many baby showers YOU have been to but the ones I've been to or Steff's been to are about celebrating someone's upcoming baby. Yes, gifts are given, but you'd be surprised at how much the new mom to be learns from other mom's at the shower. Steff went to one recently and it was amazing how many things one doesn't even think about that the girls bring to the shower and say "oh, you'll definitely need one of these". It's an opportunity to celebrate, give and accept gifts, and learn from other mothers' experiences.
