From elegant eateries with private spaces to friendly cafes and intimate patios, the city has everything you need. So, browse our curated list of baby shower venues in Atlanta, book the one you love the most and get ready to celebrate the little bundle of joy!
Traditionally, a baby shower should be planned and hosted by one of the mom’s friends or distant relatives (e.g. a cousin) in order not to appear that the family is directly asking for gifts. However, these days this rule is way more flexible and it is perfectly fine for a close family member to hold the baby shower. The mother doesn’t usually throw her own shower, but she can be involved in the planning process.
The city boasts an abundance of venues ready and willing to make the baby shower celebration unforgettable. Among the most popular choices are restaurants – and you can be sure to find plenty of those all across the city.
Pour Taproom: Midtown is located right on the famous Peachtree Street, known as the Midtown Mile, and specializes in curated cocktails and beers. It features a lovely private mezzanine space and a cocktail lounge on the 3rd floor.
Situated on Glenwood Avenue, Upstairs Atlanta offers a rustic event space for a baby shower with a cozy feel. It accommodates up to 250 people, so you can invite all your loved ones! If you're feeling like an outdoor celebration, their all-season Patio has space for 100 guests and offers a beautiful space for the celebration.
Having a theme is absolutely optional, but it can help you pick the perfect venue and coordinate all the other details, such as invitations or decorations. You can base your theme around something simple, such as a solid color (maybe connected to the sex of the baby?). If you feel like doing something more elaborate, you can pick a children’s book or a movie. When picking the theme, also consider what the future mom would enjoy – after all, the shower is as much for her as it is for the baby.
At a typical baby shower, close friends and relatives gather to honor the new mom and her upcoming bundle of joy. The party usually involves munching on some food, opening gifts, and chatting about motherhood. Some baby showers are combined with a sex reveal. You can also set aside some time for baby-themed games and activities. If you do decide to incorporate those into the celebration, it’s a good idea to discuss them with the mommy-to-be.
While it’s perfectly fine to host a baby shower at home, booking a beautiful venue can make the celebration feel extra special. From Buckhead Village to Grant Park, Tagvenue lists some of Atlanta’s most charming baby shower spaces. Scroll down for helpful planning tips and venue ideas.
