Lawrence has many great options to pick the best baby shower venue. Overall, Lawrence is an AMAZING place to host a baby shower! I had my baby shower outside of Lawrence and I sure wish I had the option to have it in this wonderful community. Lawrence has a plethora of fantastic vendors that can help make your shower unique and the venues that are available are truly amazing to work with. The right venue for this special occasion truly sets the tone for your entire shower and the right venue can make or break your guest experience.

What to Consider When Choosing a Baby Shower Venue

1. Guest Count & Layout Flexibility – Is the space large enough for your guest count and does it flow well with how you want the space set up?
2. Presence (or lack thereof) Natural Light – Does it have a good amount of natural light? If not, are you okay with this?
3. Indoor vs. Outdoor Options – If holding a shower in the spring or fall, will people be able to make their way outside if they want?
4. Food & Drink Policies (in-house catering vs. outside vendors) – Will you be able to bring outside vendors or will you have to use their services?
5. Decor Rules (ceiling installs, balloons allowed, etc.) – Some spaces, although rare, do not allow balloons to be used due to allergies or helium rules. So be sure to check what kind of restrictions as far as decor each venue you are considering has.

Each of these considerations will help you choose the perfect baby shower venue that fits your exact needs.

Featured Baby Shower Venues in Lawrence

First is The Lounge at Maceli’s. Maceli’s is a Lawrence, Kansas staple and is owned by Steve Maceli, one of the nicest people!! People don’t often know that you can rent just The Lounge (the portion just in front of the main hall) at Maceli’s!! The ceiling is nice and high so when you have larger decor pieces, you don’t have to worry about it feeling to tall for the space.

Second is Venue 1235. This is a larger venue with a lovely industrial modern look. It also has very high ceilings that you won’t have to worry about, and we have even done ceiling installations here with balloons!

Last is The Cider Gallery. This space double as an art gallery, perfect when you want the space to be the focus of the event! Allows you to also utilize the outdoors with their lovely patio!

Tips for Decorating Baby Showers

Choose decor that fits your space aesthetically. It will look weird if the colors don’t flow with the color of the walls or if the balloon arrangement is too small for the space. Don’t be afraid to ask for customization (which Sunny Day offers on many backdrops and we can add vinyl to most anything!!) and ask to see mock ups of fonts.
