Venue Settings
Cafe
Hosting at a venue means you won’t have to be held liable for pre- and post-party cleanup. Pick a space that has plenty of seating and a few light menu items that could be bundled in with the rental, like a cafe.
Entertainment
Singing Pianist
When distant friends and family are coming together in the same room there’s bound to be an ice-breaker period of getting reacquainted or meeting for the first time. A little bit of entertainment goes a long way in this type of social situation, like live music to keep the entergy up.
Food
Finger Sandwiches
Have fun with the menu! There are plenty of opportunities for wordplay within the many Dr. Seuss books, like ham sandwiches and green deviled eggs.
Beverage
Signature Cocktail
Opt for a signature cocktail and a mocktail, named Thing #1 and Thing #2. Having a non-alcoholic option means anyone who isn’t having alcohol can still enjoy a tasty sip.

Cake
Consider the baby shower cake to be the big finale for your theme. It’s a great opportunity to play with colors and designs, and it can even be used to reveal the gender.
