How to Plan a Baby Shower - What You Need!

Throwing a baby shower can be a daunting task, especially because you will want it to be absolutely perfect for the mum-to-be. Don’t worry, Party Bits is here to help you organise the best baby shower ever! Luckily all our products are conveniently on one website, so there is no need to drag yourself round the shops for hours on end, looking for what you need. We talk you through how to arrange the perfect baby shower!

Where do you start first? Well, the best place to start is deciding on a theme, as this will set the tone for the whole party. If you know the gender of the baby, you could go with a classic and simple blue or pink theme. If you prefer to do something more contemporary then why not try the botanical theme, that will bring a cool and relaxing vibe to the baby shower. We have many themes to choose from, so check them out here.

So, let’s talk decorations. You will want to have some focal points at the party and areas where guests can take photos with the mum-to-be. There are lots of options for this, you could go for a balloon arch, which are a popular choice for baby showers, because they are easy to put together and look great in photos. It really is minimum effort for maximum effect! The other option is to use one of our flower walls or green walls, to add a spectacular background that will be a guaranteed hit on social media! The green walls allow you to add your own artificial flowers, so you could tailor this to your colour scheme and add any flowers you want!

It is a good idea to add some helium balloons as they look great spread out over the room or floating above the tables. They add extra height and dimension to the party and can easily be put up with our helium tanks and balloon weights!

You will also want to choose some tableware like paper plates, cups, napkins and cutlery. You can match your partyware to your theme too! This means guests can help themselves to finger sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps, cake and more and then you will have no washing up to do afterwards! Everybody wins!

Try adding some fun games to the baby shower, so that the guests are kept entertained whilst the mum-to-be mingles, chats and most importantly, relaxes! You could pass around cards for the guests to fill in with guesses such as gender, weight and dates! Put up old photographs of the mum-to-be and have the guests guess the age in each photo to win prizes! There are lots of games you can play which will provide hours of entertainment.
