If  you will be hosting a baby shower in the near future, but you are having a tough time deciding on a theme that you think will be really special and fun -- then you may want to consider hosting a Tea Party Baby Shower. This can be so much fun - not only for the guest of honor - but for all the others guests as well. If you are wondering what you will need to know to plan such an event -- wonder no more! On the Charming Chick blog today we are going to give you all the information you'll need to inspire you and help you to plan a great tea party baby shower.

Invitations

There are so many options for sending invitations and if you have a theme -- then that gives you an idea of what to look for. You can search the web, your local party store, or even make your own. When you do DIY invitations the possibilities are endless as far as what you want to include. If you are having trouble finding pre-made baby shower tea party invites -- then you can just make your own. They don't have to be super fancy and the guests and Mother-to-be will appreciate your hard work. It also makes a really nice keepsake for the baby book.

 

Location, Location, Location

Decide on a palace. Where you will be hosting the event will help you to decide what kind of decorations you will need. Tea houses are a great place to host. They usually have beautiful china or silver tea sets, some have hats, gloves and other fun dress up attire so everyone can look "proper" for the tea. Discuss what you can bring in, what they provide, and what decorations are acceptable.

If you decide to host it in your home, then you will need to provide all of the tea related items. Sometimes tea sets can be rented out for a fee. You can contact a tea house. They may have sets or they may be able to direct you to a place that rents them out.

Decorations and Favors

The cute little bird salt and pepper shakers pictured above would make a great favor for a tea party baby shower. Little goodies in favor boxes work well too and anything baby related makes a fun baby shower favor. At Charming Chick we have some really cute favors,  so be sure to check them out.

As far as decorations go, you can incorporate baby and tea party decor into the festivities. If you know the baby is a girl, make it a pick theme -- if it's a boy do blue. You certainly can do other colors but if some of the guests still don't know the baby's gender, this is a great way to let them know. If twins or more are expected you can do peas in a pod theme or something else and mix that in with the tea party items.

Another really fantastic idea that goes extremely well with a tea party -- is to do vintage baby decor. This looks so great and gives the baby shower tea party a sophisticated feel.

Planning a baby shower can be a lot of fun but it can be challenging as well. It is an event which celebrates one of life's most joyous occasions -- the arrival of a beautiful baby boy or girl.

Select the Day and Time

You'll want to make sure you a choose and date and time that will be the most convenient for the mother-to-be. You won't be able to please everyone of course, but if you work with your guest of honor, to come up with a doable time, it will take some of the stress of that decision, off of you. If the mom-to-be doesn't really have a preference, just be sure not to schedule it too close to the due date. If the baby is delivered early, the nursery might not be completely set-up yet. Planning the event 6-8 weeks before the baby is due, is a great idea.

Couples baby showers have become very popular in recent years.  Most Dads-to-be are happy to be included, and if you add in some fun games for a little friendly competition -- it can be a great time for everyone.
