Where to host a baby shower?

Question

I am hosting a baby shower for a friend but am stuck for ideas on where to host it? None of our friends place are big enough to host a party for 30 people. Any one has any ideas? The mum to be lives in Canary Wharf.

Answer 1

If you or the mother-to-be go to a certain church, you could ask the pastor about hosting the baby shower there (that's where many showers are held around here).

Or, check the weather forecast for the shower date. If it's supposed to be a very nice day without *too* much heat or sun, you could host the shower outside. Does your community have a flower garden anywhere? Also, a park would also be a nice place to hold it, in that case.

Answer 2

A community centre or church hall perhaps?

Or a local hotel with conference rooms.  Obviously there will be charges though.

Are there any restaurants nearby with semi-private rooms?  perhaps a restaurant on two levels which only opens fully in the evenings?

Answer 3

Answer 4

you may want to look into having at a restaurant that will allow you to use a private area or if the weather permits have it at a park and if you know someone who belongs to a church or other organization that has a dinning room or a hall find out if you can use it good luck and happy baby
