A baby shower is baby's first big party, and in Atlanta it's celebrated fully: themed décor, games that are actually fun and — for party-loving moms — even hora loca. Here are the ideas that work.
Pick the style: classic, themed or party-style
The classic baby shower is intimate: brunch, pastel décor and calm games. The themed one revolves around a character or color. And the party-style baby shower — trending in Georgia — ends with hora loca: mom-to-be dances with her friends and nobody forgets the party.
Décor that photographs itself
A balloon arch in the theme colors, a candy table with baby's name and a giant-frame photo backdrop: with those three, your photos look magazine-worthy. Our baby shower decoration sets it all up.
Games that aren't boring
The classics that work: guess the diaper price, diaper change blindfolded, baby bingo and the advice clothesline where each guest hangs a tip. With a host, even simple games become hilarious.
Clown entertainment: the Chicle touch
A baby shower with clowns breaks the ice between families who don't know each other: games, face painting for little cousins and comedy show for everyone. It's the difference between "a nice gathering" and "the party of the year."
Combine it with the gender reveal
If you don't know boy or girl yet, the baby shower is the perfect reveal moment: colored smoke, surprise cake or balloon-box pop. Quote your Atlanta baby shower on WhatsApp.
