An elegant gathering is the perfect way to welcome a new little one and celebrate with friends and family. A V Party Rentals has your essential event planning guide covered from teaspoons to tents and teacups to sugar cubes. Get inspired with these extra fancy baby shower planning tips!
Be Our Guest
Start with the linens and fine details, then work your way towards an afternoon tea menu that’s sure to enchant. Think scones and clotted cream, finger sandwiches, macaroons, and tiny tea cakes. Planning a color theme, but don’t know the gender yet? Soft pastels work well for gender-neutral baby showers. Try light green, yellow, and rosy red for an Alice in Wonderland garden aesthetic.
For the tea menu, be sure to include a wide range of herbal options for Mom and friends. Floral notes like hibiscus, rose, and lavender are great for staying on theme. Of course, no tea party would be complete without fine china and glass tableware. Create your own period drama complete with a three-tiered serving tray worthy of royalty.
Sip, Chat, and Relax
Tea parties are the perfect occasion to exchange gifts and trade stories while enjoying a laid back celebration. Set the tone of the gathering with floral arrangements, hanging lights for an evening high tea affair, and soft music. Suggest each guest brings a sample of their favorite tea to share. Baby shower games are always a fun way to break up the menu. Write a note for baby in a vintage journal and pass it around throughout the day for a classic keepsake. Be sure to secure table and chair rentals in advance so there’s no need to limit the guest list later on.
All Dressed Up
Make your event even more fun with a dress code worthy of high tea. Choose a Jane Austen inspired costume party, a 1950’s sundress garden celebration, or a royal-tea themed affair in honor of a new little prince or princess. The possibilities are endless! Set up a DIY photo booth to capture the memories.
