A loft is a very handy kind of space, with practically no restrictions attached. Typically, these spaces are free of furniture, so you can bring your own and set it out as you please. As a rule, lofts have high ceilings which measure at least 4 metres. Many of these venues are located in industrial zones, on the premises of former factories and warehouses. This should mean that you are free to play loud music and dance.
A baby shower is a party customarily held for a mother-to-be not long before she gives birth. The tradition has its origins in Ancient Egypt. During the event, the mother-to-be is "showered" with gifts. These are mainly things for the child, including toys and clothes - especially if it is already clear whether the child will be a boy or a girl. The shower is often held in a place filled with soft furnishings and toys. In earlier times, only women were invited, and those experienced in motherhood in particular. Nowadays though, everybody is invited.
