Best Bridal Shower Brunch Ideas
Here are the best ideas for a brunch baby shower. We’ll start with the best baby shower brunch menu.
Menu
Starting off with the most important factor which is food. Brunch could be an easier way to meet everyone’s food requirements. Here are some of the best brunch food for this event.
Breakfast casseroles
A breakfast casserole is an easy and complete meal that could be served at a baby shower. It has a fluffy egg base and you can choose your toppings. Some examples include potatoes, shredded cheese, spinach, ham and so much more.
This food item makes the perfect addition to the brunch menu. It’s a breakfast food that the guest of honor won’t be able to resist.
Quiches and frittatas
Quiches are a great option for a brunch baby shower theme. Quiches are usually made up of eggs, cheese, and some other ingredients. It is a pretty big meal so you could expect it to fill some tummies.
These dishes are known to be pretty elegant and they are typically made on special occasions. They are good breakfast food that could be filled and topped with different foods.
Baked goods (muffins, scones, etc.)
This is such a good idea because they are yummy treats that are breakfast foods and they work well for a morning or afternoon baby shower.
There are baby shower treats that are so easy to display and they look good on saucer plates for a tea party theme. You could set them next to cinnamon rolls and danishes to make such a cute breakfast bar.
Fresh fruit and yogurt parfaits
A healthier option for something sweet for a brunch celebration is parfaits. They’ll look great at the food table because they are bright and colorful and will get attention from guests.
You could make a parfait bar with different types of yogurt, fruit, and granola clusters. This is also a great idea because it will satisfy certain dietary needs such as gluten-free or vegetarian.
Breakfast sandwiches or wraps
Sandwiches are a very popular finger food for a baby shower, but you could take it to the next level by serving breakfast sandwiches at the event. A classic example of this is bagels. Yes, bagels are considered cream cheese sandwiches.
Or if you’re a bagel lover you could have different types of bagel sandwiches like sausage egg and cheddar cheese. Or you could use the bagel with an avocado mix for avocado toast.
Mini pancakes or waffles
Brunch cocktails (mimosas, bloody marys, etc.)
Now what’s brunch without a cute little mimosa bar? The setup would be simple champagne with fruit laid out on the side with orange juice, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. Arrange some glasses around the juices and boom, you have a mimosa bar!
We know that the mommy-to-be won’t be able to participate in this baby shower idea, but the guests will be thankful to have a little drink with their meal to celebrate.
More baby shower brunch menu ideas include French toast. You could have some French toast sticks with powdered sugar arranged in a cup. You could also have a charcuterie board with different fruit and cheeses.
Decorations
Next, let’s review the overall look of the event. Here are some things you could consider when setting up a brunch baby shower.
Balloons and streamers in pastel colors
Balloons are one of the best ways to decorate any party because when you see them people automatically associate them with a special occasion. Choose the mommy-to-be favorite color or coordinate balloons to go with the theme of the event.
Fresh flowers in vases or jars
A floral centerpiece is a nice way to decorate a baby shower table along with a nice tablecloth and confetti that goes with the theme.
Tablecloths and napkins in coordinating colors
The table arrangement could include some cute napkins with elaborate designs. Or you could put napkins inside a cute napkin holder like in this example featured above.
Baby-themed banners or signage
There are so many amazing baby shower banners you could choose from. Some of the best examples we found are on Amazon and Etsy.
Baby shower favors
Baby shower favors are also a. nice gesture to thank guests for attending the baby shower. Some of the best baby shower favors include bottle openers, plants, candy, etc.
Games and Activities
Games and activities are the best things you could do a t a brunch baby shower. That way guests are occupied and not just standing around waiting for the next thing. Here are some great games you could have them play.
Baby food guessing game
This game is a classic baby shower game that matches the brunch theme. You will need jars of baby food, you will have to make sure to remove the labels and cover them with numbered labels.
Give each player a pen and a piece of paper. Pass around the jars of baby food, and ask each guest to smell or taste a small spoonful of each jar. Guest should write down their answer. For example, apples, pears, bananas, mango, peaches, etc.
The guest who correctly guessed the most types of baby food wins a prize.
Diaper raffle or decorating contest
For each pack of diapers, a guest brings, they each get a raffle ticket. For example, If a guest brings in 2 packs of diapers, then they’ll receive 2 tickets.
Or if they bought a box of diapers from the registry, then they’ll get one ticket. During the shower choose a ticker from the big pool of tickets. The winner wins a prize which we suggest is a gift basket or gift card of some sort.
Advice cards for the mom-to-be
Giving the mom-to-be is such a great way for people to spread the love and knowledge of parenthood with the newbies. And they could look at these tips and keep in mind the ones they find helpful.
Baby book or onesie decorating station
Onsie decorating is one of our favorites. Especially if you have kids attending the event, you could make them a coloring book with coloring pages where they could decorate pictures of blank baby clothes with crayons, markers, and colored pencils.
