Baby Showers in Swindon

Baby showers are booming in the UK, alongside gender reveal parties, naming ceremonies and christenings.

Irrespective of mum to be, grandma, auntie or friend, organising the event, each year the baby shower gives birth to more inventive ways to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a child. 

Here are our top choices:

1/ Afternoon Tea

Quintessentially British, the afternoon tea is the perfect sedate celebration for a soon to be mum. With the introduction of prosecco and gin afternoon teas, guests too will celebrate in not having to succumb to an alcohol-free celebration if they choose not to. And all will be spoilt for choice with a rich selection of options and venues across Swindon.

TGt Swindon recommends:

2/ Games afternoon

When it comes to pregnancy, a games afternoon takes on a completely different form. Suggestions range from baby food tasting, the dirty nappy game and guess the baby from the picture.

Sure, to be a fun-filled afternoon of entertainment, with plenty of laughter thrown in for good measure. 

3/ Spa afternoon

A pampering baby shower is a great alternative putting mum to be needs first, while providing a relaxing afternoon for her guests. Take advantage of an at-home visit or spend the afternoon in a spa. Either way, everyone is guaranteed to feel relaxed, with no dirty nappies insight.
