And with that, here are our favorite baby shower brunch ideas to shower your favorite lady with love.

1. Choose a fun theme to inform your event venue and decorating decisions

First things first, every good party needs a theme! Baby shower brunches are no exception. It could be anything from a simple color scheme, like classic pink and blue, to something more involved, like the Mom’s favorite Disney movie or children’s storybook. Your theme should influence every aspect of your baby shower brunch ideas, from the menu to the decor. So choose a good one!

2. Next, find the perfect baby shower venue through Peerspace

Now that you have selected a baby shower brunch theme, you’ll need to set the scene for your baby shower brunch ideas. If you don’t have enough room at your home or the expectant parents’ home, not to worry. You can book an adorable venue on Peerspace where everyone can gather together.

And we’re not just talkin’ any venues. Peerspace venues run the gamut from lofts and art galleries to cafes and penthouses (and everything in between!).

It’s also easy to book a venue that matches your theme choice. As an example, let’s say your theme is “an afternoon brunch in Paris.” Then you would want to book a venue like this chic, elegant Parisian-style space with luxe indoor garden vibes in Burbank, CA! When you book a Peerspace venue like this, very little decorating will need to be done on your part. The host offers full party-planning services, which may be helpful if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, and can help with catering and decor. Sounds like a dream space to us!

We’ll share more special Peerspace venue rentals ahead with the rest of our baby shower brunch ideas.

3. Plan the perfect baby shower brunch menu

Once you’ve chosen a place to host, it’s time to think about the most important aspect of any good brunch, the menu. Brunch usually contains a balance of sweet and savory offerings, ranging from hearty egg dishes to fruity treats.

Remember to keep your theme in mind too! For example, if you’ve chosen to host a Peter Rabbit-themed brunch, you could serve up savory garden vegetable quiche and delicious carrot brunch cake. Don’t feel like cooking yourself? Ask your Peerspace host to put you in touch with a caterer!

4. Spread out at a brunch buffet

While hosting a sit-down brunch can be fun and proper, buffets are definitely the way to go for parties! Guests can serve up as much or as little of your offerings as they like. This is also a chance to decorate your table spreads with cute decorations like diaper cakes, building blocks, or fresh-cut flowers. The possibilities are endless and adorable!

And if you’re in Baltimore, MD, and looking for an endlessly adorable venue to set up your baby shower brunch buffet, then check out this downtown bank turned cafe. It is a super elegant and historic space that provides plenty of tables, chairs, and space to accommodate both your guests and your buffet. Plus, the venue offers catering, so you can get everything you need in one beautiful setting!

5. Serve up yummy mocktails 

While traditional mimosas are a no-go for the mom-to-be, that doesn’t mean the lady of the hour has to miss out on this classic brunch beverage. To whip up a pregnancy-friendly Mom-osa, all you need to do is substitute fizzy water or lime soda in place of champagne. Serve up your mocktails in champagne flutes for a bubbly treat that’s both refreshing and safe for the upcoming little one!

6. Go for a potluck brunch and have everyone bring their favorite dish

Here’s a great baby shower brunch idea for parents welcoming their second or third baby. Instead of bringing gifts to the shower, ask guests to bring their favorite brunch dish instead. This way, the new parents aren’t overloaded with items but can still feel the love from their friends and family. Plus, this can save you the hassle of planning a full menu yourself. 

7. Meetup for a virtual brunch to accommodate faraway guests

Do you need to host a brunch with families in different time zones? Thanks to modern tech, you can host a baby shower brunch no matter where in the world your guests are. Everyone can choose their own menu, chat with friends and family, and ooh and aww over baby shower gifts–without even leaving their sofas. It’s a great baby shower brunch idea that will bring you together without having actually to get together. 

8. Host an elegant and cozy brunch tea party 

Who says tea time is for afternoons only? Host an elegant tea party brunch with plenty of hot tea, finger sandwiches, scones, and brunch-friendly dishes. It’s cute, posh, and a fun twist on a traditional brunch that’s perfect for baby shower fun. Make sure you have some elegant china on standby for serving! 

If you want to make planning easy on yourself, simply book a tea parlor through Peerspace! One of our favorites is this West Midtown brunch cafe and tea room in Atlanta, GA. Book it out for your baby shower brunch tea party and have all of your needs met in its chic setting!

9. Keep it low-key and meet for coffee and donuts

Are tea and crumpets not the mom-to-be’s thing? Go with a more modern twist on a tea party brunch by serving up coffee and donuts instead! Donut towers make the perfect centerpieces to decorate your tables, and a self-serve coffee bar is both delicious and trendy. Just remember to have some decaf on hand for the lady of the hour. 

10. Head outside for a garden brunch 

Here’s an amazing baby shower brunch idea for outdoorsy moms. Instead of brunching indoors, why not take the party outside for some fresh air and sunshine? Imagine sipping tea and scones surrounded by blooming flowers and shady trees. It’s a wonderful change of pace for baby showers in the spring or summer!

11. Don’t forget to play classic baby shower games!

Once everyone is done chowing down on brunch, you can keep the fun going with some classic baby shower games! Hold a blind baby food taste test, play celebrity baby name guessing games, or test your baby knowledge with some fun print-outs. You could even make up your own brunch-inspired game to add a unique flair to the shower!

12. Make it co-ed and invite the guys along

While baby showers usually only include the expectant mom and her friends, there’s no reason why dad and his friends can’t get involved! Serve up some hearty brunch dishes like brunch pizza and refreshing beermosas for the guys in the crowd. Don’t forget to include dad in the gift-giving, either! Ask guests to bring toys or clothes for the proud papa to open alongside mom. 

13. Host a gender reveal brunch 

Even if you’ve already held a baby shower, you can still keep the fun going by hosting a gender reveal brunch. You can make the classic “gender reveal” cake brunch-friendly by transforming it into a crepe cake instead. Choose blueberry-flavored crepes for a boy or strawberry for a girl, then ice it with neutral color frosting to hide the surprise. Make sure there are plenty of cameras around when the parents to be cut the first slice! 

14. Enjoy brunch at any time of the day

Traditionally, brunch takes place around 11 am. But there’s no hard and fast rule that this has to be the case! If the mom-to-be is craving brunch in the afternoon or evening, why not serve up brunch for dinner? It’s a fun baby shower brunch idea for expectant moms who aren’t afraid to mix things up a little.
