AboutSam Expertise I can answer questions about the country`s history, culture, politics, economy, geography. I speak fluent Slovak. If you are planning a visit, I can recommend the places to see - especially the nature in Slovakia is worth it.
Experience I am a Slovak which makes me an expert in the language and culture. I am also a traveller so I know Slovakia quite well. I will do anything to find out the answer to your question.
Question My sister in law is from Slovakia. She is due to give birth to her first in October. We are throwing a shower, but would like to know of any tradition for a new baby or any customs for a baby shower? Thank you
Answer Hello Lori,
first of all - sorry for replying this late, I have been camping for the last ten days and forgot to switch on the on-holiday status.
As for the baby shower - I have never heard of one before, so I don't think I can help you much. I know what you mean - I know what a bridal shower for example would be - but I really don't think anyone does baby showers around here. Not that I know, anyway. (But of course I may be wrong, being a man, you see... Maybe I just haven't noticed :-)
It is certainly very common in the Catholic families that the baby gets baptised and I imagine there may be some traditions related to the event of baptism. I can find out if that's of any value to you. Please let me know...
I am also thinking about what to do for my sister who is expecting her first, but I seriously don't think there are any traditions related to this.
Please let me know if I can be of any more help to you.
