How to Plan a Baby Shower:
A Simple Guide for a Stress-Free Celebration
Planning a baby shower should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Whether you’re organising something small and intimate or a larger celebration with friends and family, a little structure goes a long way. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to help you plan a baby shower that’s relaxed, memorable, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
1. Choose a Date and Guest List Early
Baby showers are usually held during the third trimester, when the mum-to-be is comfortable enough to enjoy the day but not too close to the due date. Once you’ve chosen a date, agree on the guest list early so you can find a space that fits comfortably.
Helpful guidance on timing can be found here:
👉 https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/baby-shower/
2. Pick a Venue That Does the Heavy Lifting
One of the easiest ways to reduce stress is choosing a venue that already looks beautiful. A fully dressed venue means less decorating, fewer deliveries, and more time to enjoy the day.
Look for:
-
Comfortable seating
-
Natural light
-
Space for games and gifts
-
Easy access and parking
If you’re hosting locally, choosing a baby shower venue in Caerphilly that’s already styled can make a huge difference to the overall experience.
3. Decide on a Theme (or Keep It Neutral)
Themes don’t need to be complicated. Soft neutrals, pastels, or seasonal colours work beautifully and are easy to coordinate with balloons, table décor, and cakes.
For inspiration, this guide is full of lovely, achievable ideas:

4. Plan Food That’s Easy to Enjoy
Baby showers work best with relaxed food options — afternoon tea, light bites, or buffet-style catering allow guests to mingle and chat without formality.
If you’re catering yourself, this resource has great crowd-friendly ideas:

5. Keep Activities Optional and Fun
Not everyone loves games — and that’s okay. A good mix of light activities, gift opening, and relaxed conversation keeps things flowing naturally.

Final Thought
The best baby showers feel unhurried, comfortable, and personal. Choosing the right venue and keeping plans simple will help everyone focus on what really matters — celebrating a new arrival.

Baby Shower Ideas Your Guests Will Love (Without Going Overboard)
Baby showers don’t need to be over-styled or expensive to feel special. In fact, the most memorable celebrations are often the ones that feel relaxed, thoughtful, and beautifully put together without trying too hard.
Here are some baby shower ideas that guests genuinely enjoy — and that are easy to plan.
1. Create a Beautiful Welcome Moment
First impressions matter. A styled entrance, balloon display, or photo backdrop instantly sets the tone and gives guests somewhere to gather and take photos.
Balloon styling ideas and trends can be found here:
👉 https://www.balloons.co.uk/blogs/news/balloon-decor-ideas
2. Set Up a Photo Area Guests Will Actually Use
Guests love photos when the backdrop is flattering and well-lit. Floral walls, soft lighting, and neutral tones photograph beautifully and work across all themes.
If you’re planning a DIY backdrop, this guide is useful:

3. Offer a Simple Guest Activity
Instead of lots of games, one meaningful activity works well — such as:
Advice cards for parents-to-be
A baby name suggestions station
A memory book
Printable templates are widely available here:

4. Choose a Cake That Doubles as Décor
A well-designed cake becomes a centrepiece in its own right. Neutral colours, florals, or subtle themes photograph beautifully and avoid being overly gendered.

5. Think Comfort First
Comfort is often overlooked. Chairs, space to move around, and a calm atmosphere all make a huge difference — especially for expectant mums and guests of all ages.
This is where choosing the right venue really pays off. A welcoming, fully styled space removes pressure and lets everyone relax.
A Final Tip
Baby showers don’t need to follow strict rules. Focus on creating a warm, enjoyable environment, and your guests will remember the feeling long after the day ends.
