How to Transform a Baby Shower Venue into the Perfect Theme

Baby showers are a wonderfully personal celebration, designed around you and your family. It’s such an exciting time to be enjoying, and you need a baby shower venue you can trust. This celebration will be remembered for a lifetime– not just by you and your family, but it will also be shown to your child as they grow. We’re here to help you create an event that’s unforgettable and inspired, designed entirely around you.

Personalizing A Baby Shower Venue

The perfect baby shower venue is the one that lets you personalize your party experience. From small groups to large, from light catering to multi-course meals, every aspect of your party needs to be handled by a dedicated event planner. Working with an event planner gives you peace of mind and lets you sit back and enjoy the party, which is essential at any stage of your pregnancy. There are several elements to party design, and due to the personal nature of this celebration, there are many aspects you’ll want to add your own personal touch to.

The Decor

The decor is one of the most important parts of your party design. After all, this is what will come through in your pictures for years to come. Many parents like to choose a theme that’s similar to how they’ve designed their nursery, or they’ll choose inspirations from things that are important to them. If you already know if you’re having a boy or a girl, it’s also popular to choose color-themed decor to match the child you’re expecting. It’s important to remember that the decor you choose is entirely up to you– if you want a fantastical garden party to celebrate your child, then make sure to decorate accordingly. The right baby shower venue will work with you to create a backdrop that inspires.

There are many elements to consider when designing your party decor, but luckily, you’ll have an experienced event coordinator and designer with you at Galuppi’s. Here’s what to consider to bring your theme to life.

• Table decor: A sit-down meal offers plenty of opportunities to personalize your decor. What color are your table runners and charger plates? Do you want natural green plants arranged on the table or curated floral bouquets? This is where your guests will take most of their pictures, so set the scene for your seating area to be picture-perfect.
• Photo backdrops: Having a designated photo area for group photos helps keep pathways clear in the event space. You get a beautiful backdrop for your guest photos, themed around your colors and inspirations.
• Food decor: Your decor can be edible! When you have a baby shower theme chosen, your venue can elevate your event with food following the theme. Colored cake pops or carefully selected fruit spreads work wonders to keep your event on theme while still offering the best food possible.
• Unique signs: Welcome signs, seating charts, and personalized menus add an extra special touch to your baby shower. These help your day run smoothly and give something for guests to talk about.

The Food

Food is an integral part of all celebrations. We come together to dine, to talk, and to celebrate, and your guests are doing plenty of talking and celebrating! Here at Galuppi’s, we have an extensive kitchen menu created by talented chefs specializing in a wide range of cuisines. For private events, we offer catering and event packages of varying levels where you can take control of the menu offered to your guests. From welcome drinks to canapes to mains, you and your event planner can create a menu that’s themed for your event. Cupcake icing that matches your decor? We have you covered.

Our staff and events team can cater to all sorts of allergies and dietary requirements. Catering is available for all event sizes, from 25 to 300 guests. By working with our events coordinator, we can keep your catering on theme and organize timed meal service so your day goes smoothly.

The Activities

Baby showers are filled with activities like gift opening and party games. The right event venue will help your day go off without a hitch if they know what to expect, so make sure to tell your event coordinator in advance when you’d like to start activities. They can help you position guests, time food coming out of the kitchen, and rearrange decor as needed. This is especially important if you have a large guest list– more guests means more people to manage, and unfortunately, more stress on a host without an event coordinator.

The Memories

There are many ways you can make lasting memories at your baby shower. You can give your guests personalized name cards with thank you notes, hand out themed party gifts, or create unique drinks and menus to fit your event. For baby showers, we recommend putting out a special book for your guests to write letters to you and your future child. A baby shower venue’s event team can help you ensure that all of your guests are aware of the day’s activities. Furthermore, they’ll be on hand to help you get the best photos you can of your special day.
