3. Wow with custom invitations
Once you’ve chosen a theme, a time, and the perfect place, it’s time to get the word out. Wow your guests before they even arrive with some adorable custom invitations. If you’re feeling crafty, DIY them by hand for a homemade touch.
Not feeling up to it? Order some from a custom invitation service like Inviteshop. Your invitations should reflect the theme of the shower and get guests excited before they arrive at your venue! Remember to include important information, like the date, time, place, and a link to any gift registries too.
4. Decorate to the nines
After you’ve chosen the perfect venue, it’s time to make it as gorgeous as possible with banners, balloons, streamers, tablecloths, centerpieces, accents, and more. Pinterest is your best friend for adorable inspiration on color schemes and homemade decorations. All the little details add up to a single impressive venue.
If you book a Peerspace venue, you may rent a space that is already so chic and stylish that decorations are not needed. Either way, remember to consult the mom-to-be on anything you’re not sure about or a trusted friend or relative if you’d prefer to keep specifics under wraps.
Our baby shower decoration ideas provide even more amazing inspo!
5. Curate a mouth-watering menu
Now it’s time to start planning some delicious eats for your baby shower bash. Remember that pregnant women have specific dietary restrictions, so steer clear of any problem foods for mom-to-be. Platters of fresh fruits and veggies are always a good choice. Don’t forget dessert either, like a donut platter or mini cake-pops in blue or pink.
Instead of serving up snacks, you could also combine your baby shower bash with a special meal, like brunch or afternoon tea. And if you need any help with serving up the perfect menu, the Peerspace Concierge service can connect you with a caterer for the occasion.
6. Make it a surprise
Wondering how to host a truly unforgettable baby shower? Start the festivities off with a surprise! While you usually plan a baby shower with the mom-to-be in a consulting position, you can up the wow factor for the shower by making it a total surprise for her.
Invite her to your venue under the guise of looking at some used baby furniture or toys. Then surprise her with the baby shower of her dreams! It’s a unique spin on a traditional shower that definitely ups the “wow” factor. Make sure you’ve got a camera on standby for the big reveal.
7. Keep the spotlight on the lady of the hour
While everyone will have plenty of gifts for the new baby, make sure you throw in something special for the mom-to-be herself! After the baby arrives, she’ll need some quality mom time to recharge. Give her some fun ways to pamper herself, like some homemade bath bombs or soothing candles. A gift certificate to a spa or salon is sure to be appreciated, too. You could even throw in a “coupon” for your babysitting services.
Your favorite lady will get the day off all to herself, and you’ll get some quality time with her adorable little one. It sounds like a win-win to us!
