How to organise a baby shower in Sydney? 

Organising a baby shower in Sydney but not sure where to start? We’re happy to help you out! Check out our handy guide and you’ll be turning into a pro baby shower planner in a matter of minutes. 

• Start with a budget – The first thing you need to do is set a budget. Trust us, once you know how much you can spend on venue rental, everything will become much easier! You’ll be able to choose venues that fit your price range and avoid ones that could cause you to overspend. While establishing your budget, don’t forget to consider things like catering, decorations and entertainment. 
• Draw up a guestlist - How many people would you like to invite? For baby showers, it’s common to include only close friends and relatives. However, it’s always best to consult the final guest list with the mom-to-be. That way, you’ll ensure that she will celebrate with everyone who’s dear to her heart.

• Save the date - Some moms love showers in the early to mid-third trimester; other moms prefer having it much earlier, in the middle of their second trimester. A lot depends on their overall well-being. So when choosing the date, make sure to have the mom-to-be’s input on her preferred date. After all, you want her to make only the best memories and it would be hard to do that when she isn’t feeling her best!  

• Pick a theme – High tea party, Noah’s Ark, all pink or all blue? Pick something that you know the mom-to-be will enjoy the most. Personal themes that revolve around the celebrant’s personality or hobbies will add a unique touch to the event, and make it more memorable. If you haven’t got any ideas, don’t be afraid to ask the mom-to-be about how they envision their special celebration. Even her favourite colour-scheme or food will make her happy and excited. When you find the perfect baby shower theme, you’ll get the idea what type of venue –a restaurant, a cafe, or a garden– will offer the perfect backdrop. As a result, the whole venue-search will be much quicker! 

• Choose the catering option – Are you planning to organise a potluck baby shower, want to work with an external caterer or go for the in-house team? No matter which option you’re keen on, make sure it’s compliant with the venue’s policy. Consult this matter with the venue manager at the beginning stage of your enquiry. That way, you can quickly decide if the venue is a match. 

• Consider the most convenient location - Another important detail to consider is the location. How easy will it be for the guests to reach the venue? Think about how accessible it will be for everyone you're inviting and, most importantly, the guest of honour. She shouldn’t spend too long commuting  there. Otherwise, she may feel tired before the party event starts! To find the perfect location, try to find one that offers parking and is close to public transit links.

• Consider serving some sweet treats - Having a baby shower dessert table is a fun way to add a finishing touch to the celebrations and make them even sweeter. Think of serving cupcakes, mini desserts and candies that will match the party theme and ambience. And how about serving a custom baby shower cake? Sydney has an array of great bakeries where you can order a custom-made cake. You can also make one yourself! 

• Think of party favours - Although the main idea of baby showers is to shower the future mom and her bundle of joy with presents, it is always a nice gesture to offer the guests some small gifts as thanks for showing up. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, even a small bag with sweets, a magnet or a scented candle will do! Your guests will appreciate the gesture and definitely mark the event as memorable. 

Have you made some notes? If so, now you’re ready to host the perfect baby shower! Take some time to plan everything, and then, hop on Tagvenue to pick an ideal space that will match your needs and budget.
