Oh, Baby! Here’s How to Plan a Memorable Baby Shower

Planning a baby shower is a whirlwind of joy, excitement, and… a little bit of stress! You want to celebrate the mom-to-be and this exciting new chapter, but where do you even begin? Relax! We're here to help.

At B&M Catering, we specialize in creating memorable baby shower experiences, taking the pressure off so you can focus on celebrating. Let's walk through some simple tips for planning a fantastic shower, with a special focus on how our catering services can make your event truly shine.

Your Baby Shower: Theme Time!

First things first, let's talk themes.

Choosing a theme helps tie everything together, from decorations to even the food. Whether you're dreaming of a whimsical woodland wonderland, a Hawaiian luau, a sweet Winnie the Pooh party, a nautical adventure, or something entirely unique, the theme sets the tone.

Once you've chosen your theme, sprinkle decorations throughout the venue to bring it to life. Personalized signs with the baby's name (if you know it!) or a sweet welcome message add a special touch.

The Heart of the Baby Shower Celebration: The Menu

Now, for the most important part (in our humble opinion!): the food. At B&M Catering we make menu planning a breeze. We offer a variety of full-service and à la carte options, allowing you to customize your menu to perfectly match your theme, budget, and guest preferences.

For a baby shower, a buffet is often a fantastic choice. It allows guests to mingle and choose what they want, and it offers variety.

Think crowd-pleasing options like fresh fruit and veggie platters, creamy clam chowder, mini sliders, vibrant salads, and flavorful skewers.

These are just a few ideas, and we're happy to work with you to create a menu that reflects your vision.

One of the best things about working with us?

You can absolutely incorporate your own cake!

We understand that special desserts often hold sentimental value, and we're happy to accommodate that. You can also add your favorite treats and extras to complete your menu.

We've even catered showers where the mom-to-be had a special craving for local donuts – and we happily made it happen!

We're all about making the day special for the guest of honor.

Keep Your Baby Shower Fun and Interactive

Baby showers are all about celebrating, and games are a great way to get everyone involved and create some fun memories.

Classic games like "Guess the Belly Size" (with a piece of string!) are always a hit. Baby Shower Bingo during the gift opening is another fun way to keep guests entertained. We've enjoyed the "Guess the Baby Food" trend we've experienced. You can also give "Baby Item Scavenger Hunt" a go.

Sweet Send-Offs

A small takeaway favor is a thoughtful way to thank your guests for celebrating with you. Keep it simple and practical with something they'll actually use or enjoy. Mini sugar scrubs, small jars of colorful candies, or even personalized seed packets are all lovely options.
