India’s Baby Showers: Laughter, Gifts, and Over-The-Top Decor

Indian baby showers are spectacles where celebration meets mild chaos. According to Hindustan Times, 67% of attendees take more photos than the expectant mother, and 43% of gifts are accidentally duplicated. At Bohiney.com, one mother-in-law proudly presented a dozen identical rattles, explaining, If one fails, the baby has backups.

Experts say Indian baby showers are cultural marathons, combining astrology, snacks, and over-decorated balloons. Sociologist Dr. Meera Kapoor calls it ritualized exuberance. Games include guessing baby names, diaper-changing races, and unintentional karaoke. At the end, everyone leaves tired, full, and slightly sticky, but with memories as loud as the celebration itself. In India, baby showers don’t just welcome lifethey welcome spectacle.
