Wondering how to elevate your baby shower with unique venues? If you’re planning a baby shower, why go the traditional route when it comes to choosing a venue?

Instead of having it in your home or at a standard venue like a banquet hall, consider all the options now available in cities near you. You can book snug cafes, verdant gardens, expansive art galleries, and rooftop terraces with picturesque views. These are just a few examples of the countless distinctive baby shower venues you can find online. (We’ll even provide a few examples later on in this article, just to illustrate the array of possibilities out there!)

So if you’re in search of ways to elevate your baby shower with unique venues, read on. With our guidance, you’ll learn how to use Peerspace – the largest online marketplace for renting venues by the hour – to find the most interesting, charming, and unexpected spaces for a baby shower in your area.

Step 1: Establish the criteria for your baby shower venue

What kind of space are you going to need? If you can figure out the general parameters you’ll need before you start looking for a specific venue, you’re way less likely to waste time on places that end up being a bad fit.

Here are some of the most important factors to consider:

Date and time: This may be flexible, or there may only be certain days and times that will work for you and your guests.
Price: How much would you like to spend (and how much can you afford to spend) on the venue for your baby shower?
Style: It’s easier to figure this one out if you have an idea of your baby shower’s theme. You’ll want to pick a space with an aesthetic that suits it. For instance, if your theme is “springtime,” a garden might be an ideal venue.
Number of guests: Roughly how many people are you hoping to invite? Venues can vary greatly in their capacity, from cozy spaces that only allow up to ten guests, to spacious locations that can host 100 or more people.
Location and accessibility: How far afield are you willing to travel for the perfect venue? Would you drive an hour from home to, say, rent a farm or a cozy mountain cabin, or would you prefer to stay within the bounds of your own city?

Once you’ve figured out the essential details, it’s time to start searching!
