What Kind of Venue Can I Rent for Baby Showers in Bristol
With as many as 45 baby shower venues in Bristol, you can pick and choose the one that catches your eye. Fitness and yoga studios flooded with natural light or a casual wine restaurant with pretty table decorations, we've got it all!
Community Center/Ballroom – Grand Party Spaces. A baby shower can be as big or as small an occasion as you want it to be. And for big, elaborate parties with lots of guests, a ballroom or community centre is the ideal venue to hire. You can get a decorator to fill the whole place with flowers in pale yellow or pastel pink themes.
Restaurant and Bar – Chill and Relaxed Vibes. On the other hand, the combined comfort and luxury of an upscale restaurant and bar where there are cushioned sofas and chairs for the expectant mother to sit down and a friendly team of restaurant staff handing out the most delicious food are an unmatched experience.
Cafe – Warm and Cozy Setting. An intimate and quiet cafe is best for an afternoon party. Unlike with a bar and restaurant, you don't have to worry about providing special non-alcoholic drinks. The expecting couple and their friends can pass away a pleasant day chatting and passing around gifts.
Studio – Decorate to Your Taste. The best thing about these sorts of venues is the freedom and personal touch. Decorating the space according to the mom's favourite colour scheme and putting up a table full of presents and another table full of snacks will make this a momentous event.
Terrace – Party with a View. Looking for a rooftop or terrace with a great view of the city? A bright terrace with wooden benches and floors is just the place for a lowkey baby shower. We can guarantee you'll get some wonderful photographs of the special day!
How to Plan a Baby Shower in Bristol
Choosing the best baby shower venues in Bristol to celebrate this special occasion in the life of your friend is just one part of party planning. Let's look at some of the things that need to happen to pull off a brilliant event!
Send Out Invites – Who does the expectant mother want there? Even if you're planning a surprise for her, you can sneakily consult her wishes on the matter. Sending out digital invitations is good enough nowadays. It's supposed to be a fun occasion so don't become too formal!
Make a Registry – A baby means dozens of new things and new expenses. Helping out the scrambling couple at this stage by buying them the things on their wish list is an immensely practical way of helping out. And guests are glad to be told what to buy.
Arrange for Food and Entertainment – Plan a potluck or arrange for the restaurant to do in-house catering but whatever you do, don't forget to provide special sweet treats and a complimentary glass of mocktail for the mommy. It's her day and she deserves to be the centre of attention.
Set Up Baby Shower Games – Baby shower games like baby bingo or the baby photo guessing game are always great fun and keep the mood light and humorous. For the strong of heart, the dirty diaper game is a must!
Saving Money on a Baby Shower in Bristol
A baby shower usually takes place as the mother is nearing her due date so wanting to treat the tired mommy is understandable. But you don't need to spend all your money just to do that.
Time the celebration well.
You don't have to hold the party during lunchtime or dinner time. Instead, planning around meal times allows you to provide great food and drinks with a high tea or a snack and dessert bar.
Go DIY with the decor.
There's no need for a decorator. You can just pick a theme or a colour scheme and pick up decorations in the bulk. Then it's just a matter of your creativity as you set up the venue with flowers, balloons and photographs printed at home!
Get friends to help out.
Suppose you're a group of six friends. You can all pitch in. Five hosts getting together and throwing a baby shower for mommy takes the pressure and the expense off the shoulders of just one person.
