How a Adelaide Baby Shower Comes Together

A baby shower is a daytime party for the parents-to-be, so comfort comes first: easy seating, bathrooms close by, shade or heating, and food that suits someone who is pregnant. Adelaide hosts plenty in private hotel rooms and garden restaurants, and many more at home with hired decor.

Rooms taking baby showers here are spread across the inner south, Burnside, the north east, the southern suburbs and the seafront at Christies Beach, with four in the Adelaide Hills at Hahndorf, Verdun, Mount Barker and Nairne.

Comparing the costs:

  • Per-head menus run from $30 per person and $35 per person up to $53 per person and $60 per person for a set lunch.
  • Several rooms work on a $1,000 minimum spend, and a Kingswood room starts at a $500 minimum spend, which suits a smaller group.
  • Decor hire covers backdrops, arches and cake tables, delivered and set up for you.
  • A covered function boat on West Lakes is an unusual choice at $750 per hour, minimum 2-hour charter.

Check that the menu works for the parent-to-be, and that there is somewhere quiet to sit away from the noise. For a home shower, a caterer can bring platters so nobody is stuck in the kitchen.

Planning around the parent-to-be

  • Pick a date well clear of the due date, while energy is still good.
  • Ask whether the room is on the ground floor or has step-free access.
  • A comfortable chair for the guest of honour sounds small but matters across a long afternoon.
  • Keep games short and optional, and leave time for simply catching up.

Season and setting

  • Hot summer days are hard going late in a pregnancy, so choose an indoor room that stays cool.
  • The Hills are cooler and wetter than the plains, and a fireside room suits a winter shower there.
  • Hills venues sit at the city's edge, so share lift-sharing plans with guests ahead of time.
  • Spring and autumn suit a garden or courtyard setting.

Decor and food

  • A dessert or cake table is the centrepiece; hire firms bring the stand, backdrop and props.
  • Grazing platters suit a mingling crowd better than a long seated meal.
  • Ask whether you can bring your own cake, and whether a cutting charge applies.
  • A gift table and a set time for opening presents keep the afternoon on track.
