A baby shower is a great chance to unwind and have some fun before the baby arrives and the work begins. So why not plan this joyous event now? In Brisbane, you will find many great baby shower venues that will cater to your needs - from high teas in Fortitude Valley to private dining rooms in the CBD and exciting eateries in Auchenflower. And you’ll find them all on Tagvenue! Let us show you the way to host a fantastic event and discover a fantastic spot where you can honour the mom-to-be and celebrate the arrival of the little bundle of joy!
When considering organising a baby shower, it’s well to bear in mind the needs of the mother to be. Coordinate the timing with her and see if she prefers to hold the event in the afternoon or in the evening. A brunch or tea might be more desirable if evenings are not suitable, a likely possibility if anyone’s kids will need to attend as well.
When it comes to the event a pub or a restaurant is a great choice for a baby shower, especially if they have function rooms available. A function room in these venues has the benefit of a variety of seating options, enough room for games and the likely possibility that you can decorate according to your chosen theme. These venues are also easy on the wallet, as they generally offer minimum spend. Sometimes baby showers take the form of a celebratory lunch or high tea, so restaurants and hotels are another good choice.
Start your search in the city centre, and feel free to check out the heights of Fortitude Valley and Spring Hill for some truly cosy locations with a picturesque view. Picnics are also a growing baby shower trend in Australia, so consider the Botanical Gardens, or one of the city’s many other outdoor venues, as well. Brisbane is also the gateway to Australia’s Gold Coast, and, while a shower in the city is a great idea, there might be more relaxing settings just outside the city line. Consider spending the weekend with friends at one of the many resorts along the coast, and help the mother-to-be put her feet up before the action starts.
The final cost will vary depending on the venue type you will choose, guest packages, the event date, your personal requirements, etc. But generally, the prices for a per-person rental range anywhere between$25 to $70 per person. It is also possible to rent a venue on a per minimum spend basis with prices starting from as low as $350. As for the per-hour hire, expect to pay around $70 to $300 per hour.
