I am throwing a baby shower for my daughter-in-law who is from Lima, Peru. I am trying to find ideas that will bring a touch of Peru to the shower. At their wedding the favors were hand-made items from Peru (a little shopping bag hand decorated with a little bottle of liquor in it for the women and a knitted cover for a little bottle of liquor for the men). I’m looking for ideas like that. It appears that the games are the same. Can you shed any light on different ideas. We will be connected to Peru via the internet and I want everyone to enjoy.

I can’t think how that is yoga for babies in any way at all. Poor babies. Hasn’t she heard of shaken baby syndrome! In one video the baby she was tossing around was crying the whole time. How can this be healthy?!!! Someone should tell these people that a fundamental yoga principle is Ahimsa…..non-violence.

I felt great getting advice from the women in my fiance´s family, my suegras friends and my own friends. I think it would be great to incorporate that into baby showers as well.

I’m Peruvian, now living in NY, and I’ve been to many baby showers both in Peru and here. I think the main cultural difference is that in my home country women have a baby shower for every baby, first, second, third, etc. Meanwhile in the States it’s my understanding that baby showers are just for the first baby. Also in Peru, the baby shower is thrown by a family member or friend, never by the mom-to-be. Here I’ve been to a baby shower hosted by the future mom. As far of decorations and favors there is no tradition. Times have changed so much and with the world of internet the possibilities are endless. Since all my family lives in Peru I had a virtual baby shower. All my family and friends got together and we connected via webcam. For favors my sister got mini cloth pins decorated with the baby shower theme. It was a really interesting experience.

How fun! Enjoy….and take lots of cultural mental notes to share with us later! I’ve been to baby and wedding showers in Colombia, but I never paid any attention until after I had my daughter–so maybe you can fill in the details! Disfruta manana!
