Not just Bulgarians. The people in most other countries don't normally host baby showers. It is an American/British tradition, and not a very old one at that.

When is the best time to have a baby shower?
It should be a month to two weeks before the event. Be sure to check with the Bride's mother to be sure what dates are available for the Bridal Shower and then plan a way to get her to that Bridal Shower. The right time for throwing a bridal shower is anywhere from 6 months before to the week of the wedding. Some etiquette guides say to wait until after the wedding invitations have gone out, but I think it's fine to do it earlier, as long as all shower invitees will definitely be invited to the wedding itself. As for time of day, the traditional time is Sunday afternoon, but really any time day or night is fine.

It is wiser to give the baby shower when she is six months pregnant because the closer she gets to her due date the more tired she would be and she may not enjoy the baby shower to it's fullest potential. It is also wise to ask the mother or sister of the mother to be if she wants a baby shower before the baby is born as some new mothers are superstitious that it is bad luck to have a baby shower before the baby is born in case she loses the baby. Some very successful baby showers are given after the baby is born and then everyone can see the new baby. If you choose to do this them wait a month after the baby is born so the new mother is a little more rested.

The caution would be to not hold the shower too early in the pregnancy, so that in case the pregnancy terminates, there's less public sadness and disappointment. Finally, some people prefer to wait until they know the sex of the baby, so that appropriate colours can be chosen for gifts. Otherwise, yellow, green and other colour combinations are totally appropriate for baby wear.

What is open house baby shower?
An open house baby shower is a twist on the traditional baby shower. Traditionally, a baby shower is a party where guests come together at a specific time to shower the mother-to-be with gifts to prepare for baby's arrival. The party typically include food, games, talk (sharing stories, wisdom, humor about babies and motherhood), and gift opening. In an open house baby shower, the party may span over several hours where guests come anytime during the open house window and leave as they please. When the guests come, they present the mother-to-be with their gift, stay for food and conservation, and leave whenever they like. There is usually no games at this type of baby shower nor is there a gift opening event where the guest of honor opens each and every gift in front of all the guests. An open house baby shower may sometimes also be called a "come and go" baby shower or, if done after a baby is born, a "sip 'n see" baby shower or a "meet and greet" baby shower.
