Victorian Era Baby Shower

A baby shower means celebration with family and friends of the arrival of a baby in the family. During the Victorian era, a baby shower was a celebration where only the female family relation and friends participated.


A Victorian woman would keep her pregnancy as long as possible and would avoid any public appearance. The words pregnant or pregnancy were almost a taboo in the Victorian society.


It was after the woman had given birth to a child that other women would hold tea parties for the new mother. In the Victorian period it was assumed that if a woman accidentally keeps two teaspoons on a saucer, then the woman might be an expecting mother.


Generally the baby shower would be tea parties held after the baby was born since the pregnant ladies did not go out in public. Umbrellas were a part of style statement as expected mothers were expected to carry them. Gifts for the shower given by the members of the family were handmade. However, grandmothers gave something made in silver.


The baby shower was looked upon as a reason for the family members and friend to visit the new born baby and the mother. However, after World War II, baby shower was celebrated before the birth of the child. Another change that was seen was that even the father of the unborn child, grandfather and other male members of the family also started participating.
