Although a baby shower is celebrated differently, this event is widely known and common worldwide, excluding the countries whose traditions considered baby shower before the baby is born – bad luck, like in China and France. Some cultures consider it bad luck to receive or open gifts for a new baby before birth. For example, in Orthodox Jewish culture, a mother may not open any gifts for the baby until she gives birth to her child. According to some traditional beliefs, opening gifts and flaunting happiness before the baby’s birth can cause misfortune for the family. Like in Bulgaria – no baby gifts are given to the family before the baby's birth.
