Baby Shower Venue Must-Haves
When selecting the most fitting baby shower venue, think carefully about the following factors:
Consider the size of the room. Knowing your guest count will help make your venue search a breeze. Ensure your chosen venue can comfortably accommodate all guests. The last thing you want is a small crowd in an oversized banquet hall or a large crowd in a small cafe.
What's the ambience you are going for? If you are looking for a sun-filled space for gorgeous photos with natural light, steer clear of venues with obstructed views, ground-floor locations, and places with few windows. If you must, use candles and string lights to enhance the lighting.
Can you dress the venue? Most baby shower venues on Giggster are already styled. If you want to add a personal touch to the space, check with the host in advance about what is allowed and what is not in terms of bringing your own decor.
Organising a Baby Shower
A lot goes into planning a baby shower. Whether you're hosting at home or in one of London's top baby shower venues, there are things to account for. Follow these simple steps to kickstart your baby shower party.
Send Invitations – Once you've decided on the date, send invitations with an RSVP, start time and location. Both paper and email invites are fine, except the latter will help you cut costs on stationery and postage. Advise guests travelling from out of town on nearby accommodation.
Set the Theme – Don't know where to start from? Set the tone for a lovely baby shower with a whimsical theme like Dreamy Wonderland or Rainbow. Watch how things fall into place once you have the right theme.
Plan the Menu – Whether you want to serve guests a lavish 5-course meal or light bites, it's crucial to create a menu in advance. Be aware of different dietary needs so no one leaves hungry. Buffet-style catering is another great option to consider.
Double-check the Setup – Take time to go through important details once more before the grand opening. Is the lighting good? Do you have enough food? Is entertainment ready to go? Check things off the list if you must.
Baby Shower Expenses to Plan For
Private parties in London can be pricey. But we have just the tips to save you money on your next baby shower event.
Take care of the venue hire first.
Unless you celebrate the mum-to-be at your own house, room hire is a big part of the baby shower expenses. Look for locations further from the city centre to reduce rental costs. The best baby shower venues in London start at just £13/hour on Giggster. Book your spot in advance, preferably on a weekday!
Go light on decor.
Baby shower decorations don't need to be over the top. A simple theme like "Pink for a baby girl" will help you get started. Go with pink balloons, roses from your mother's garden, baby pink fabric and affordable, borrowed or DIY ornaments in pink. Less is more when it comes to beautiful events like baby showers.
Serve afternoon tea food.
There's no rule that says you have to serve a feast at a baby shower party. If you want to significantly reduce food costs, plan your event around tea time. A table with scones, sweet pastries, and finger sandwiches will do a great job of keeping hunger at bay.
