Thinking about hosting a Baby Shower and need a London Venue?

Baby Shower’s are traditionally a US idea, but it is now gaining popularity in the UK. It is a wonderful way to gather friends and relatives to celebrate the new life coming in your family. Who can say no to a party where you can treat the mother to be with gifts and good wishes.

Who will organise the baby shower?

One person who should not get involved is the mum to be, parents, husbands, sisters, brothers and close friends should be the ones to organise this party. The party should be stress free for the mother to be, so the person, or people organising will need to make sure everything is just right for her.

When to hold the baby shower?

A good time is in the last trimester, although not too close to the due date! This last trimester is a great opportunity to surprise the mother and keep her motivated for the last few weeks of her pregnancy.

Where to have the baby shower?

The location and venue are very important, whether you are having a small intimate gathering, or a large event, you need a London venue that will suit your site, and be in a location that is easy to travel too. Especially if you have young children joining and pregnancy ladies.

Whom to Invite?

If it is not a secret, you can ask the mum-to-be who she would like to invite. Don’t forget to ask for names and addresses if you do not know the guests, such as friends made on maternity classes. Baby showers are often full of women, but it is common to have men here as well, which includes the dad-to-be.

What to eat and drink?

What you eat and drink at the baby shower can help make the event more memorable. Don’t forget to check the types of food that pregnant women cannot eat, and avoid these items on your menu. Finger foods are the better options as they are easy to prepare and light on stomach, fresh fruits, vegetables and finger sandwiches are also good choices to make.

A wonderful way to thank your guests for coming is giving favours, something small that can be taken away, such as sugared almonds, scented candles or chocolates to see your guests. For the mother to be, have all your guests sign well wishes in a baby shower book for her to take home with her.
