Baby Shower

The most beautiful Babyshower locations in Rotterdam.

A baby shower can be held in many different types of locations and with our work for the Rotterdam Balloon Company, we have already been to many different places to dress up a baby shower with our balloons. Below you will find an overview of baby shower locations in Rotterdam where we visit most often. We have listed the most popular places for you.

At someones home

You can easily organize a baby shower at someone's home. For example, with the expectant mother herself, with her sister or with her parents, or with one of her friends at home. The living room is often the best place for the baby shower, but if the weather is nice, you can of course go outside in the garden, on the balcony or roof terrace. The advantage of celebrating a baby shower at home is that you don't have to stick to an end time and that the space costs you nothing. A disadvantage is that you have to do your own shopping and provide everyone with a snack and a drink. You can also spend extra costs on renting chairs and the necessary decoration in the house.

In a Restaurant or Café

Baby showers are also very often celebrated in Rotterdam restaurants and cafes. Often a table is reserved for you where the whole group can sit down, but there are also restaurants and cafes that have a separate room available for this type of event. The advantage of having a baby shower in a cafe or restaurant is that you don't have a mess at home and all the food and drinks are taken care of for you. Even the decoration can be done for you. The downside is of course the cost. They will be a lot higher than when you celebrate a baby shower at someone's home.

In a hall

You can also rent a hall or space somewhere in Rotterdam. This can be a community center or a room at a playground where you can bring your own food and drinks, but there are also plenty of event locations in Rotterdam that only rent out a space for these kinds of occasions and work with their own catering service. The advantage of renting a room is that you don't have any hassle at home and that there is enough space for all guests. A disadvantage may be that the room may be a bit too large and you need a lot of decoration to make the room attractive.

Outside

Are you planning a baby shower in the summer or when the weather is nice? Then consider keeping the baby shower outside. That can still be at someone's home in the garden or on the terrace of a catering facility, but how about a baby shower with a BBQ at the Kralingse Plas, for example? The advantage is of course the nice weather and the disadvantage is that it will of course remain the Netherlands and that the weather is very unpredictable. Therefore, always have a plan B.

What is a Baby Shower?

At a baby shower you celebrate the birth or the expected birth of a child or the change from a woman to mother. The term 'shower' herein means that the mother-to-be is showered with gifts such as diapers, blankets, bottle, clothes and toys. Traditionally, baby showers are only organized for the first child of the family and only women are invited. In addition to giving gifts, games are often played.

Baby Shower for Fathers

Some baby showers are aimed at dads. These may be more focused on drinking beer, watching sports, fishing, or playing video games. The gifts often consist of diapers and/or diaper-related items. The organization of the diaper party is usually done by the friends of the expectant father as a way to prepare for the coming baby.

Baby Shower Balloons

Balloons can be a beautiful and festive addition to any baby shower, and here are a few reasons why you should consider using balloons for this special occasion.

1. Festive Atmosphere

Balloons immediately create a festive and cheerful atmosphere. They fill the space with color and create an environment that fits perfectly with the celebration of new life. Whether you choose soft pastel shades or vibrant colors, balloons take the overall ambiance of the baby shower to the next level.

2. Visual Appeal

Balloons are visually appealing and attract attention. They can be used to highlight specific areas or decorative elements in the room, such as the gift table, the dessert table or the expectant mother's chair. Large, eye-catching balloons can also serve as impressive eye-catchers.

3. Theme and Style

Balloons are versatile and can easily be customized to suit the theme and style of the baby shower. Whether it's a gender reveal party, a jungle theme or a classic pastel palette, there are balloons in all shapes, colors and sizes to perfectly match the chosen theme.

4. Creative Decorations

You can make creative and unique decorations with balloons. Think balloon arches above the entrance, table centerpieces with balloons or even personalized balloons with the expectant baby's name. The possibilities are endless, and balloons can serve as a fun way to reflect the personality of the parents-to-be.

5. Photo opportunities

Balloons make for great photo opportunities. Whether it's taking photos of the parents-to-be with a balloon backdrop or capturing guests playing with balloons, they add a playful element to the photos and create lasting memories of this special day.

6. Affordable and Accessible

Balloons are an affordable decoration option that is easily available. Whether you have a big budget or a smaller budget, balloons allow you to create a large-scale and impactful decoration in a cost-effective way.

In short, using balloons at a baby shower adds an element of joy, color and creativity to the celebration of new life. Whether you choose simple balloons in one color or elaborate balloon decorations, they contribute to an unforgettable and festive atmosphere during this special occasion.
