In my home country, Belgium, we don't have baby showers, and the whole thing sounds very strange to me. I have many questions. Will there be men, children? A cake in the shape of a diaper? Will I have to play the reputedly cheesy games? Guess the flavor of baby foods - and don't they all taste the same anyway, namely of nothing? Is my gift appropriate?
What with all these questions and the suspense killing me, and my usual insistence that I approach a strange custom with at least a modicum of knowledge, I had to do some research.
And what better than to share my findings with my readers here on Suite101?
