Planning a baby shower doesn’t have to be overwhelming! With the right preparation and venue, you can create a joyful, memorable celebration that honors the mom-to-be and excites her guests. Follow this step-by-step guide to throw a flawless event, and discover why 63 Main Events is the perfect spot to host your next shower.

Step 1: Choose the Right Venue

The venue sets the tone for your event. 63 Main Events, located at 63 Olde Main Plaza in St. Albans, WV, offers an intimate space that can comfortably accommodate up to 70 guests. Our charming and versatile venue provides everything you need for a cozy, festive atmosphere. With amenities like a commercial fridge, microwave, and sink, you can easily store and serve refreshments. Plus, we’re centrally located, making it convenient for guests to attend.

Step 2: Select a Theme

A baby shower theme ties all the elements of the event together and adds a special touch to the celebration. Here are some popular options to consider:

• Little Pumpkin: Perfect for fall, with warm colors and seasonal decor.

• Baby Safari: Adorable animal decorations and greenery for a playful vibe.

• Pastel Garden: Soft floral accents and pastel hues create an elegant atmosphere.

Whatever theme you choose, ensure that the decorations, invitations, and activities reflect it.

Step 3: Organize Fun Activities

Keeping your guests engaged with games and activities is key to a successful baby shower. Here are a few ideas to keep the energy lively:

• Guess the Baby Item: Guests identify mystery items related to baby care.

• Diaper Raffle: Encourage guests to bring a pack of diapers for a prize entry.

• Gift Opening Ceremony: Give everyone a chance to share in the excitement as the mom-to-be opens gifts.

Plan activities that are both fun and interactive to create lasting memories.

Step 4: Plan the Menu

Keep your menu simple yet elegant. Finger foods, snacks, and desserts are always crowd-pleasers. With our venue’s commercial fridge and prep space, you’ll have everything you need to keep your food fresh and organized. Consider these menu ideas:

• Mini sandwiches and sliders

• Fresh fruit platters

• Cupcakes or cookies decorated to match the theme

Don’t forget to offer both non-alcoholic and festive drinks, like sparkling punch or mocktails.
