Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing information in this section is based on proprietary Peerspace booking data, reflecting recent booking activity and the latest data available through February 2026.
How much does a baby shower venue cost to rent?
Baby shower venues average $145 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 $101, whereas larger venues run about $204 per hour.
How long do baby showers last?
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.
What games should you play at a baby shower?
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.
Where to have a baby shower
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!
When should you send baby shower invites?
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.
5 affordable and creative venue ideas perfect for a baby shower
The traditional baby shower, where family and friends gather and celebrate the mother-to-be and unborn baby with gifts, has evolved immensely since its 20th-century origins. What was once reserved for middle- and upper-class American families is now customary for anyone expecting a baby, and showers that include parents and guests of all genders have become increasingly popular.
In 2024, baby showers are still a way for family and friends to celebrate the future arrival of a newborn, and they encompass more than just gifts. These parties are often themed and hosted by a family member or close friend. The events can range from simplistic to extravagant depending on the expecting parent's preferences and the host's budget.
Traditionally, baby showers include food, drinks, games, and gifts; however, the host must also budget for decor, invitations, prizes, favors, and, most importantly, a venue. With the current state of inflation, costs are getting so unbearable that some hosts ask guests and co-hosts to pitch in financially to help stretch the budget.
The venue is generally the most significant expense for any party, but that doesn't always have to be the case. There are a variety of great party venues for hosting a baby shower that won't break the bank—some are even free.
Using various sources that track cost and trends, Peerspace compiled a list of five affordable and creative venue ideas that are perfect for a baby shower. For a venue to qualify, it needed to cost $150 or less to rent; however, costs vary depending on geographic location, so be sure to call or visit a venue's website to confirm its rates.
Read on for baby shower venue inspiration.
- Local park
If the idea of a nature-filled event appeals, but the budget doesn't support the cost of renting a space like a botanical garden, a local park is an excellent, affordable (sometimes even free) alternative. Park baby showers grew in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic because they allowed for social distancing in well-ventilated spaces—but spending time outside never goes out of style. The ample space is also perfect for organizing games and activities, making them a great option for larger parties.
Many parks around the country allow visitors to gather for picnics free of charge; however, if your local park features sheltered areas or large tabled picnic and barbecue areas, chances are you need to reserve the space in advance.
The pricing often varies depending on the park and size of your party but is usually between $25 to $100. For example, picnic permits at Griffith Park in Los Angeles cost $100 for a party of up to 100 guests and may include additional charges like $30 for staffing fees, if applicable. At Austin parks, picnic site rentals start at $60 per day. Reservation information is typically available on local park department websites.
- Places of worship
Faith is important to many people, and throwing a baby shower at the expecting parents' place of worship could be really special. Many religious centers take reservations for their gathering spaces, and it's usually free (especially if you're a member).
If your church doesn't have rental space (or if you don't attend a church), check to see if one of the co-hosts or someone else close to the family does. If you don't have luck finding a space this way, many offer these services to anyone—not just members—and might just ask for a donation or a nominal fee to rent the space.
These spots make suitable venues for secular baby showers, too. They often have a kitchen and plenty of space for large parties. Many have parking lots, too, which is always a bonus.
- Bookstore
If you're planning a baby shower for a literary-loving parent-to-be, a bookstore is a fantastic venue. Many independent bookstores around the country have gathering spaces, and some take reservations for a small fee. If you don't see information online, call your local bookstore to see what they offer.
Bonus tip: Reading books to an infant is a fantastic way to bond during those early months of parenthood. If you're hosting a baby shower at a bookstore (or even if you're not), asking guests to bring a children's book instead of a card is a great way to start a beloved family collection. This trending baby shower task is a fun alternative to traditional cards and something the family can treasure for years to come.
- Pool
By the third trimester of pregnancy, when most baby showers take place, the birthing parent will probably feel physically uncomfortable. A poolside baby shower is not only a fun idea for guests, but could also make the celebrated parent feel more comfortable as they weightlessly float in the water and beat the heat in the warmer months.
Websites and apps, including Peerpsace, offer private pools by the hour for affordable prices if the host or someone they know doesn't have a pool suitable for an event. Just make sure the owner is okay with you throwing a party first.
- Community center
Community centers often boast several rooms to choose from, depending on the size of your gathering. They are generally affordable to rent (roughly $25 to $100, or sometimes even free)—Santa Fe community centers cost $50 per day per activity.
Many local community centers will let the host bring decorations. They also usually have parking lots, which makes it easy for guests.
