1. First and foremost is the amazing white wicker chair decorated with faux flowers and ribbon which is coordinated to sex of child. It sits front and center poised for the countless photo ops as each child is perched on top for everyone to gush in concert.
2. There is a DJ. He (no or she we're Latinos) plays such classics as Mami Que Sera Lo Que Quiere El Negro, various bachata, cumbia, merengue, and salsa so loudly conversation with your neighbor is barely possible. Not one english language song is played nor may be requested.
3. You dance like it's prom night.
4. Drink options are always beer and wine: Corona and Sangria.
5. The cake is always Tres Leches. (Luckily my other sister and I have petitioned greatly against and have won one battle).
6. There is an after-party. The babies come. They gotta learn sometime.
7. The menu always includes some kind of arroz con...arroz con pollo, arroz con gandules, arroz con frijoles. It's even more delicious 2 AM post baby shower after party.
8. Not one woman wears flats. (Well maybe the mommy). Most footwear includes knee-high or thigh high boots.
9. Everyone cheats at the baby shower games.
10. The daddy is always happily wasted.
