You don't need an enormous lawn with space for furniture. A small patio, city backyard, or any outdoor space with room for chairs and a group of people can be a perfect garden party baby shower setting. Ambiance plays a major role in the success of any party and we’ve come up with a few useful tips to to make your garden baby shower gathering memorable, courtesy of the entertaining experts here at Baby Shower Decorations:

• Like any good party planner you should consider the possibility of rain and have an alternative space inside to move the party to, if necessary!
• Deck out the area for your guests. For a garden party held in the day, create a shaded area for guests to retreat from the sun. A small pail or flower pot with a few bottles of sunscreen is also a nice touch. For an evening affair, add outdoor lights to a fence, porch beam or even over the shrubs to create ambiance.
• If you will be hosting an elegant sit down dining event, it’s a fun idea to bring your dining table to the patio if it is large enough to accommodate the guests in attendance. Set the table with all of the B is for Baby shower coordinating table ware. A large bunch of fresh cut wildflowers purchased from your local florist will be all you need for a centerpiece.
• A more casual shower event won’t necessarily require a dining table so we suggest arranging chairs into a u-shaped fashion to encourage easy conversation amongst guests.
• Tend to the yard by making sure the lawn is well manicured and the weeds are pulled.
• Hanging baskets, planters and flowerpots are an instant eye-pleaser that adds an extra element to the spring colors featured in the B is for Baby shower décor. The potted plants will last for months after the shower is over, making them well worth the money spent!
• Since you will be outdoors, be prepared for the arrival of garden pests. Citronella candles are good at keeping the bugs away.
