Doing it for the kids! How to decorate your garden for a baby shower

Celebrating the arrival of a little one is a must but party planning can be overwhelming. We’ve collated our top tips to decorate your garden for a baby shower – all from the comfort of your back garden. Sun’s out, baby bump’s out!

1. Tablescaping

Elevate your tablescape with charming details that will be sure to impress your guests. Dress your tables with crisp linens, vintage china, and botanical-inspired tableware. Add a whimsical touch with floral napkin rings or place cards adorned with sprigs of greenery. Don’t forget to include a stunning floral centrepiece!

2. Sweet Treats

Desserts are a must for any baby shower! Think dummy-themed cake pops, baby grow-shaped biscuits, jars of sweets and of course a tiered cake for the mum-to-be to slice – decorate this with pretty flowers to tie in with the garden setting.

3. Décor

Decorating is the fun part – picture a stunning balloon arch in pastel hues, framing the entrance with a burst of colour (this will also double up as a photo opportunity to get the perfect Instagrammable shots). Add a playful touch with giant baby blocks spelling out sweet messages or the baby-to-be’s name, creating a charming focal point for the shower. Don’t forget to sprinkle in some floral arrangements and greenery to bring the outdoor setting in, infusing the space with natural beauty.

4. Drinks

No party is complete without a drinks station! Set up a little cart or table and make big batch mocktails for all your guests to share and enjoy. For an added extra, serve the mocktails in baby bottles, fill up a baby bath with Party Ice (because who uses traditional ice buckets at a baby shower?) and use to chill your drinks!

5. Cute Keepsake

Set up a “Wishes for Baby” station where guests can write heartfelt messages or words of wisdom for the parents-to-be? Provide colourful cards or a decorative guestbook where guests can jot down their thoughts, creating a cherished keepsake for the growing family look back at.

With all these elements combined, your baby shower is sure to be a memorable and joy-filled event that celebrates the welcoming of a new addition to the family.
