Small/Intimate Baby Shower Etiquette

Hello Mommas! 

I hope that you and yours are blessed and doing great! 😊

I am having a very small and intimate Baby Shower in November. The max invitees are 22 people. In my invitation I mentioned that it is an adult only celebration, respectfully. The location is a small but cozy room in a cafe that I love to go to. Since it is will be in a small space, I am doing an elegant setting on an 8 foot table surrounded by two other 4 foot tables. I am doing a teddy bear 🧸 and roses theme in blush pink tones with touches of gold to make the room look inviting and beautiful! 

I would like to know if this is something that you would do for your Baby Shower in terms of not inviting children? I would love for my small group to be able to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about their kiddos running around in the limited space 😊

Thank you so much for your input and time! ♥️

I’ve never attended a baby shower that included young kids, although I’ve been to ones where teenage family members were included. I don’t think it’s a problem at all, especially since most baby showers aren’t necessarily the sort of thing that most kids would enjoy.

Thank you so much for that ♥️ I was second guessing myself if I did the right thing or not 😂

Ive been to baby showers where kids weren't invited. I have 5 kids and I was totally ok with it because it allowed me to have a break and I know how rowdy they can make things. Most people will understand!!

I've sent both. Usually no kids before the baby is born and kids after the baby is born. Your plans sound awesome! I hope you enjoy it!
