The Cutest Spring Baby Shower

At 210 events we LOVE babies! That’s why we get super excited when we get to host baby showers. A few years ago we hosted one of the cutest spring-themed baby showers I’ve ever seen.

The mother-to-be rented out our lovely Saloon Suite located at the top of our building. The space is adorable with wood floors and antique wood cabinets lining the walls. The new kitchenette, couches, lounge chairs, and coffee tables make the space feel comfortable and welcoming. The high ceiling and abundant natural light balance the cozy furniture, giving the space a beautiful bright and airy feeling. All in all, it was the perfect spot for her gathering of ~25 guests.

Now, on to the theme that has lived rent free in my head since that shower. The mother-to-be chose the theme “little sprout”. With all the new grasses and plants sprouting outside, it was the perfect theme for an April shower. Naturally, she went with a green/neutral color palette that paired exceptionally well with the wood and brick of the space. There was an elegant balloon arch, twinkle lights, and a delicious spread of green (and not green) foods. Guests raved about the blueberry walnut chicken salad and adorable chocolate pudding in glass jars with candy succulents on top!

Next came the games. First, guests took turns passing two “presents” right and left based on the words in a cute baby story. One guest ended up with a box of dirt while the other received a baby sock monkey. Next, her friends and family took turns guessing how big her belly was by cutting strings to their guess length. Finally, there was a speed diaper changing round that left everyone laughing (no children were harmed). After a couple hours of greetings, gifts, and games, the mom-to-be sent guests home with a seedling basil plant that she grew herself. Needless to say, the shower was a wild success and still brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.

As we head into 2024 I am beyond excited to see what themes pop up this year. The rise in nature-inspired themes like woodland, boho, and bear themed all tend to have color palettes that work well with our spaces. Bright pops of color also look stunning in our venue so a citrus-themed or “mama to bee” shower would be gorgeous. Truthfully, I have a hard time picturing any shower that wouldn’t look good but maybe that’s a personal flaw 🙂
