Aaaah, that's the big surprise 😅

Both the baby shower and the gender reveal party are things that people here copied from the US. Traditionally, there isn't really a reveal party for the gender, rather you have either pink or blue "beschuit met muisjes" when the baby is born. This is also the moment that most people traditionally give gifts for a baby: after it's born. Somehow it feels strange to me too, to celebrate a baby when it is still not here. A lot of stuff can go wrong during pregnancy, so my personal viewpoint is that a celebration isn't in order until the baby is actually delivered...

The gender reveal party is more something that happens in the big cities. I live in the North of the Netherlands and in the past years there were 10 babies born and only one of them had a gender reveal party. So it's not really common but indeed it happens more than a few years back. And especially in the bigger cities. In the Netherlands it's really common to tell the gender just before you tell the name. So after birth.

Congratulations, very happy for you.

Thank you!

Congratulations to the both of you! ❤ The original purpose of the baby shower in the US was to help the parents with getting all the necessities for the new baby: clothes, diapers, car seats, breast pumps, and what all. Baby showers are therefore done before the baby is born and, in the frugal old days , were supposed to be done only for the firstborn. 👶🏻

Van Harte gefeliciteerd met jullie eerste baby. Ik hoop dat het een voorspoedige bevalling wordt en dat kind en moeder gezond zijn 🎊🎊🎊🎊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Gefeliciteerd! In België werd, nadat m'n vrouw te horen kreeg dat de zgn. NIPT test ok was, gevraagd of ze ook het geslacht wou weten. Het geslacht werd wel herbevestigd op de eerstvolgende echo. Aaah, namen kiezen, ... the best of luck with that! 😅

Gefeliciteerd ! Leuk voor jullie en spannend !

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! ❤ Last thursday, a friend of mine and his wife got their second baby. They already started to use the name weeks ago, as if he was already born. That's very unusual here in The Netherlands.

Gefeliciteerd!!! We have another dutch thing, after the baby is born, we get a “kraammand” with present in it. And each day you pick one present to unpack, lot’s of fun !

And if you are from Twente you get a "Krentenwegge" . That's a raisinbread of a meter long.

Dat lijkt me wat lokaler. Ik heb inmiddels best een paar nichtjes en een neefje en het woord kraammand is nog nooit gevallen, noch heb ik ooit een mand zien staan. Er was wel altijd iemand, meestal een oma, die een al dan niet zelfgemaakte knuffel gaf. Er zijn overigens wel meer lokale gebruiken. Ik kwam bij een polygoonjournaal en later een recenter stuk van de regionale omroep tegen dat ze in Twente er een soort wedstrijd van maken wie de grootste krentenwegge geeft en ik zag bij de Jelies bij een huis vol dat ze op Urk en bij van Urkers afstammen families de kraamkamer op de een of andere manier heel speciaal maken. Beschuit met muisjes is volgens mij wel in heel Nederland gebruikelijk.

Such amazing news, congratulations!🎉❤

Many congrats and felicitaties to the both of you 🎉🌲⚘️🌹🏵🌻

Congratulations! And you're having a summer baby, that's cool! For me, as a Dutch, the concept of babyshower is weird (call me oldfashioned if you will). We do kraamvisite, where people visit, bringing gifts and eating beschuit met muisjes after the baby is born. Though I can imagine if you think having visitors every day for two months is a bit much, a babyshower where you have everyone visiting at once might be a good alternative.

Congratulations! Great news.👩‍🍼

Gefeliciteerd! Wat leuk zeg :D

Gefeliciteerd met de aanstaande baby. Wat leuk om te horen!
