How a Townsville Baby Shower Comes Together

A baby shower in the North Queensland heat needs shade, cool air and somewhere comfortable to sit, especially for the guest of honour. The rooms on this page range from a heritage high-tea space on Flinders Street to a waterfront pub on The Strand with a covered rooftop looking out to Magnetic Island.

Stylists, a florist and a photographer who travel across the city can bring the details to whichever room you pick.

Rooms to consider for the afternoon:

  • A covered rooftop on The Strand: a waterfront pub with six function areas and menus from $24 per person suits a relaxed lunch with a breeze.
  • Flinders Street high tea: a heritage room for up to 60, from $30 per person, suits a classic shower with games.
  • Waterfront private room: a restaurant room seating 46, from $850 minimum spend, suits a seated lunch for close friends and family.
  • Kirwan clubs: a leagues club with air-conditioned rooms and set menus from $29.95 per person, or a bowls club holding up to 120.

Add a backdrop or styled table from event stylists, flowers from event florists, and a photographer for family photos, with photography quoted from $300.

Comfort first

  • Choose an air-conditioned room or a covered, shaded rooftop, particularly between December and April.
  • Make sure there is comfortable seating close to the gifts and the cake.
  • Keep the event to two or three hours so it does not become tiring.

Styling and photos

  • A stylist can set up a dessert table, balloon garland or neon sign for photos.
  • A florist can make table arrangements and a small bouquet for the parents-to-be.
  • A photographer for an hour covers group shots and candid moments without taking over the afternoon.

What to ask the venue

  • Is the space private, and can decorations go up before guests arrive?
  • Can you bring in a cake, and are there options for guests who are not drinking?
  • What is the plan if a storm arrives during an outdoor booking?
