Whether planning a baby shower or sprinkle, there are a number of aspects of your event that need to be planned ahead. In this post we will touch on what type of food and drinks you could serve at the event. It is of course dependent on what theme you choose, if you for example choose a BaByQ theme – the food may be more braai / salads than finger foods.
Is it okay to serve alcohol at a baby shower?
This is a question that we believe best be presented to the guest of honour, does she mind having alcohol served at her shower or would she prefer it be a mocktail event. Most baby showers take place in the morning or over the course of an early afternoon, not really traditional drinking hours, so perhaps the addition of a fruit punch or mimosa’s would suffice.
Mocktails / Preggatinis! Or non-alcoholic cocktails -> Here’s a link to 50 easy Mocktail recipe’s
Food, om nom nom:
Cake and finger foods are often served at Baby Showers. There are a few types of foods that pregnant women are advised to stay away from, these include:
– Sushi (uncooked seafood)
– Raw egg or anything containing raw egg such as hollandaise sauce.
– Soft cheese such as Brie and Camembert, all soft cheese that is made from pasteurised milk are safe.
– Pate.
Here are a few pictures from our Baby Shower Pinterest Board illustrating some food ideas and inspiration.

We discussed Baby Mickey in our last post and of course where you find Mickey Mouse you will always find Minnie Mouse too. Is your little girl’s 1st or 2nd birthday coming up, or are you planning a baby shower for a baby girl and you are wondering what theme would best suit the occasion? The Baby Minnie theme is lovely, soft pinks and a cute little Minnie Mouse on the tableware make it a nice choice for a pretty, pastel party.
Colours:
Pink, white and green (pastels)
Don’t be afraid to add accents of black into the mix, it works very well.
Tableware:
Themed paper plates, paper cups, serviettes and table covers are available. Buy now.
• The Minnie Mouse plastic tablecloth looks lovely on the cake/gift table and negates the mess because it can be wiped down quite easily.
Linen:
We suggest you choose your main colour for tablecloths and alternate tie back colours. The chair covers at Hassle Free Kids Party Hire are white, it breaks the colour and is simple and elegant.
Décor:
Balloons: Pink, lime, white and black balloons are available.
Foil balloons are a lovely addition.
Birthday Banners:
Birthday banners matching the theme accentuate the cake/gift table well. For a special touch order your child’s name in Glitter Letters matching your theme colours. We hand paint and glitter them for you.
Entertainment:
First birthday’s are relaxed affairs with so many smaller children present.
Food:
Party food is a fun affair but when hosting a 1st birthday with the view of having a number of younger children in attendance, the type of food you serve needs some thought. Soft and easy to eat is best, like jellies, ice cream, pudding, soft fruits. Hard boiled sweets pose a choking risk and are best avoided.
Cupcakes and smash cake work well with smaller children, (the smash cake for the birthday child). The following images and ideas have been sourced from Pinterest. Great ideas.
Dress Up:
If you would like to add an element of dress up to your party without the hassle of a full outfit, then Minnie Mouse ears are a lovely choice. Soft and comfortable to wear.
We hope we have helped by giving you some ideas for your Baby Minnie Mouse kids birthday party.
