shower
Party before baby
A shower is a spray of water for washing, or the enclosure where you stand under it: I need a quick shower before work.
Shower extends to anything falling in quantity—a shower of sparks, a meteor shower, a shower of confetti.
A shower is also a party where gifts rain down on someone: a baby shower, a bridal shower.
To shower is to bathe under a spray, or to bestow abundantly: They showered her with praise.
