America Ferrera "can't wait to meet" her first child after hosting her baby shower.

The 33-year-old actress and her husband Ryan Piers Williams announced in December that they are expecting their first baby, and America has now lifted the lid on her recent baby shower, revealing her pal Elsa Marie Collins helped to plan the party at Beauty & Essex Los Angeles.

America captioned a series of behind-the-scenes photos of the bash: "No poopie diaper games here. Just dancing, drinking (water for me [smiley face]), and some of the people we love to celebrate the little human we can't wait to meet [sic]"

America's star-studded guest list included the likes of Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato, both of whom starred alongside her on Ugly Betty.

The actress also invited some of her co-stars from her NBC comedy series Superstore, including the likes of Ben Feldman, Kelly Stables, Nichole Bloom, Colton Dunn and Lauren Ash.

Her post continued: "@beautyessexla was a gorgeous place to celebrate ([pointing emoji] not being paid to say that). And get you an amazing friend like @elsamariecollins who always shows up for you and throws the best parties! (sic)"

Meanwhile, America recently revealed she doesn't want to name her baby after "a land mass or an idea".

America doesn't know the sex of her child, but she's already decided that she wants to give her son or daughter a normal moniker because she doesn't want the youngster to face criticism - like she did - while growing up.

She said: "I don't want my child to be named after a land mass or idea.

"I love my name now, but growing up with the name America is not easy. I don't want to put that on my child because I know what that feels like so I'm going to go with something that is more a name."
