What could be more worth celebrating than an engagement or a baby! Showers are a wonderful way to bring friends and family together to celebrate and support a person or couple you love. Cheers to you for showering your friend with love.
Vibe
Provide a welcoming environment and a pace that gives people time to catch up with old friends and make new connections. A fun, up-tempo playlist is a must.
Décor
Our advice: keep it simple. Subtle decorations and some sophisticated food and drink can go a long way towards making the day feel special. Bright and breezy decorations, fresh-cut flowers—particularly the guest of honor’s favorites—are always in style.
Food
Consider focusing on self-serve apps that can be pre-made, so you can be present for the party. Store-bought puff pastry can be a quick way to pull off any number of fancy finger foods. Remember: certain foods like soft cheeses and shellfish may be off-limits to expecting moms, so check with the guest of honor to see what they are hungry for!
Drinks
Keep the bubbly flowing, but don’t forget to have non-alcoholic options or “mocktails”—particularly for baby showers. Create a bar area where guests can serve themselves, and make sure to have plenty of glassware on hand.
