Why Host a Baby Shower?
A baby shower is one of life’s milestone events, similar to engagements and weddings, where we gather to give thanks and celebrate the special times to come. It marks the beginning of a new chapter and is a wonderful opportunity to bring family and friends together to share a day of love and support as you prepare for the arrival of your little one!

You may be wondering why to have a baby shower. The answer is sweet and simple: it’s loads of fun, it’s helpful and creative, and even helps relieve stress for parents-to-be!
Thanks to baby showers, expectant mothers are able to mentally prepare for the new addition to their family while enjoying a celebration organized by close friends or family. It’s the perfect opportunity to show support and love for the mother-to-be, especially for first-time mothers who may feel anxious or unsure about what to expect in the coming months.

Baby showers provide a chance for family and friends to express their affection by giving gifts, such as baby clothes, toys, and supplies. Although gifts are not the primary focus of a baby shower, they are certainly a practical and thoughtful part of the celebration since babies need a lot of things when they finally arrive!
Why not make this joyous occasion a memorable one with photos, decorations, and a gorgeous silk flower wall? Before delving into which of our vibrant floral walls would perfectly complement your baby shower vision, Nicol Floral Design would like to offer some invaluable advice to party hosts seeking inspiration.

A Celebration of New Life & Parenthood
When’s the best time to throw a baby shower? You may be wondering. While a baby shower typically occurs during the later stages of pregnancy, it really depends on individual circumstances. You can throw a party at any time that feels right to you, from a couple of months into the pregnancy to a few weeks before the birth. Nonetheless, it’s best to start planning the gathering as soon as possible to give yourself and your guests plenty of time to prepare.
Choosing a theme for the party is probably the most fun part of planning a baby shower! You can opt for a trendy brunch shower, a charming tea party theme, a therapeutic girls’ night, an everything-baby-themed party, or even an arts and crafts gathering. Not only are the possibilities endless, but Nicol Floral Design offers a wide variety of flower walls to choose from! Browse our collection to find the floral piece that fits seamlessly with your chosen theme.

When incorporating a flower wall into your baby shower, you also have the opportunity to display a decorative custom-made sign on the wall, typically with the phrase “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!” or your future baby’s name. The signage companies that Nicol Floral Design highly recommends are Ever Laser, Electroromantic, and House of ME. Personalized signs not only make your flower wall extra unique, but you can save the beautiful sign as a memento for later on, either for your collection of memories or to hang on the wall in your child’s nursery.

Balloons matching your color scheme and flower wall are a fun and elegant addition that continue to grow in popularity. For more inspiration and ideas about including balloons at your baby shower or gender reveal party, Nicol Floral Design recommends hiring Peonies Events. We absolutely adore collaborating with Peonies Events, whose skilled designers can craft an ethereal balloon masterpiece that is sure to amaze you!
And, of course, be sure to capture every exciting moment in photos! Having a photo booth at the baby shower is a great way to make memories last. Positioning the flower wall behind the photo booth is also a popular trend.

Baby showers, which traditionally include delicious food, games or crafts, and gift-opening, are an excellent opportunity to get playful with decor! Some delightful ideas are color-coordinated cupcakes, confetti, kids’ toys and dolls, baby building blocks, and other nursery-themed decor. Hosts can get creative and cute with personalized party favors too! One of Nicol’s favorite novel party favor trends are the “Pop It When She Pops” customizable champagne tags! These original and adorable party favors invite guests to “enjoy a toast upon the baby’s arrival.”
When it comes to choosing a location for your baby shower, consider the atmosphere you want to create, how many guests you would like to invite, and how much cleanup you’re willing to handle. Restaurants and private homes are the most popular locations for hosting baby showers, as many families prefer to keep the celebration intimate. For those desiring a larger gathering, renting out country club and hotel dining rooms or ballrooms is a great idea.

For a hassle-free cleanup, a restaurant might be the best option for you! However, if you want a more private setting, then hosting the event at your home or a friend’s home could be the way to go. For those looking for a fabulous baby shower location in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Nicol W. Segel recommends Terrain, a fantastic restaurant and venue in Devon with a gorgeous, greenhouse-style dining space.

As for your delicious dessert, an elegant croquembouche is a sweet and original idea. Small two or three-tier cakes are also popular, and can be decorated with charming fresh blooms that match your floral arrangements and flower wall. Classic macarons matching the party’s color palette are also very common as these irresistible little sweets both look and taste wonderful!

Out of all our bestsellers, our favorite flower wall for baby showers has to be “Jolie.” “Jolie” is gender-neutral with subtle, aesthetic pops of baby blue and pale pink. This sophisticated and elegant design adds life and style to the occasion without overpowering other decor, and the flawless, predominantly-light color scheme is representative of perfection and purity, making it a wonderful addition to honor your future little one.
Baby showers provide an opportunity for adults to let go of their worries, even embrace their inner child, and show support for their loved ones through happy conversation, fun activities, and gift-giving. Let’s raise a toast to mothers, new beginnings, and precious little newcomers! Congratulations, and happy planning!
