Find baby shower venues near me

The guests are gathered at your unforgettable baby shower venue, drinks and food have been served, and gifts have been opened. Now it's time for the baby shower games, one of the best parts of any baby shower. Classic baby shower games include trivia games about the parents, or trying to predict the baby's weight or mother's measurements. One of our favorites is "Don't Say Baby," in which guests lose points for saying "baby." Games that are funny and a little gross are popular these days, too, like "Name That Baby Food Flavor" or "The Dirty Diaper Game," which involves melting candy bars in diapers and having guests try to guess what kind of candy bar they are.

From hidden rooftops to unique neighborhood studios, there are creative baby shower venues in your own backyard. Many people host baby showers in their own homes, but more and more people are upping their game by renting distinctive, unforgettable locations to create a truly special experience. Popular modern locations for baby showers include local bars and cafes, art galleries, and awesome patios. Some hosts even rent a cabin or chalet, potentially creating a full weekend of festivities. Where to have a baby shower depends on your budget, what the mom-to-be would enjoy, and the limits of your own creativity!

You should send baby shower invites 4 to 6 weeks before the date of the shower. This gives your guests ample time to get a gift and save the date on their schedules. So, you'll have to choose your baby shower venue before that time, as well as have the gift registry ready. If you're having the baby shower catered, we recommend setting that up early as well since caterers can get booked up. Remember that if you send baby shower invites online, they'll arrive immediately, but if you send them via snail mail, you should account for a week or so for them to arrive. Give yourself plenty of time to get everything prepared, and everyone will be able to enjoy the baby shower that much more.

Baby showers typically last for 2 or 3 hours. A baby shower will usually include drinks and hors d'oeuvres, a time for the mother-to-be to open gifts, and then some time to play baby shower games. Classic games include things like guessing the baby's weight or guessing the mother's measurements. Planning for three hours means you can secure an amazing local space for a baby shower without having to break the bank, which is a great way to show your loved one just how much you appreciate her.

Baby shower venues average $155 per hour to rent, but it’s easy to spend less or more depending on what you’re looking for. For a space on the smaller side, expect to spend closer to $120, whereas larger venues run about $150 per hour.
