Timeless Baby Shower Details for Welcoming a Baby Girl at Oh So Frilly Events

🌸 A Dream in Pink: Intimate Baby Girl Shower at Oh So Frilly Events

When a client inquires with Oh So Frilly Events and gives us full creative freedom from the very start, it's truly a dream for my creative little heart.

This particular celebration was for a sweet mama-to-be who wanted to host an intimate baby shower for just 18 guests. Their only requests? Plenty of pink details, white chocolate raspberry cupcakes, and lush pink peonies. In other words—dreamy!

A Perfect Match for Our Space

If you’ve seen our signature pink bow wall, our curated collection of fine china, or the elegant charm of The Chanel Parlor, you know pink isn’t just a design choice—it’s part of who we are. In fact, pink is literally in our logo and branding, so creating a celebration centered around this color felt perfectly aligned with everything Oh So Frilly Events represents.

Naturally, we were thrilled to bring this vision to life.

The client chose our most loved offering: the Signature Oh So Frilly Package. It’s our most comprehensive package and includes everything from tablescape styling to tea service and those charming little details that make a big impression—without clients needing to source or haul anything in.

Setting the Table: Fine China, Napkins & Glassware

Since we had full creative control, my mind immediately went to:

• Pink satin napkins

• Pink floral linens

• Blush and floral fine china plates

• The girliest vintage tea cups you can imagine

  
  

With the focus on tea bites for the seated meal, I recommended dessert plates and appetizer plates only—no need for large dinner plates when the menu includes cucumber cream cheese sandwiches and mini cupcakes.

We selected china pieces with delicate pink and purple floral patterns, adding a soft romantic touch to each setting. While we offer clients a lookbook to choose from, our Signature Package clients often trust us to select the perfect pieces—especially when we’re working with a 2,000+ piece inventory!

One of our favorite little details—and a guest favorite—is our signature napkin presentation: We tie each satin napkin into a bow and thread it through the handle of the tea cup at each place setting.

It’s sweet, unexpected, and brings a whimsical, feminine feel that perfectly matches the vibe of a baby girl celebration. It also instantly elevates the table and gives guests a moment of delight as they take their seats.

Our signature goblets — included in every package — come in a gorgeous array of rainbow colors. For this shower, we chose soft pink and classic clear goblets to complement the rest of the table décor. Pro Tip: Alternating clear and solid-colored goblets adds an elegant touch to any tablescape, creating a look that feels both intentional and elevated. At the client’s request, each place setting also featured a vintage coupe glass — the perfect vessel for mimosas and bubbly.

Together, these elements create a tablescape that’s as beautiful as it is inviting — a perfect setting for making memories.

Welcome Sign & Florals 🌸

Because our clients often have specific floral requests in larger quantities, we partner with a trusted local wholesale florist to make sure every detail is just right. For this summer baby shower in Pittsburgh, the guest of honor’s favorite flower — the peony — became the star of the show. Several shades of pink peonies couldn’t have been a more perfect match for the soft, romantic palette.

As a sweet parting gift, each guest received a single peony displayed in a pink, vintage-inspired bud vase. We placed one at every table setting, adding a personal and thoughtful touch to the overall tablescape.

Our floral welcome sign looked right at home on our vintage porch. The soft pink peonies popped beautifully against the crisp white-painted wood, while a mix of filler flowers ensured the box was brimming with blooms.

We had just added a brand-new Cricut machine to our toolkit, so we were extra excited to get creative with the sign design. At the client’s request, we used pink vinyl lettering with the following phrases to greet guests as they arrived:

• Welcome to Tea

• Celebrating Our Mama-To-Be

• Arrival August 2025

  
  

  

  
  
  
  

When I saw the teacup graphic with the word tea nestled inside, I knew it had to make its way onto the welcome sign—a perfect detail tying everything together

Little Luxuries: Perfect Bites for a Baby Shower Tea

Let’s be honest — every guest looks forward to the food at any event, especially the desserts. That’s why having quality catering is so important. Because yes, Aunt Suzie will judge you based on the food choices.

With our packages, we partner with trusted caterers to craft menus that truly make your taste buds sing! And here’s a little bonus: at Oh So Frilly Events, we’re one of the few venues that allow you to bring in your own caterer, food, and drinks. We know that’s a big concern when searching for the perfect event space.

However, for this baby shower, we teamed up with our preferred caterer, The Merrie Chef, to create a stunning spread of dainty tea bites that delighted both kids and adults. Beyond delicious flavors, her presentation was absolutely impressive — I rarely see caterers who care so much about every darling detail.

• Mini Tea Sammies (Cream Cheese & Cucumber, Veggie Monte Cristo, Chicken Salad)

• Chicken Finger Cups (not just for kids...adults are obsessed with hers too)

• Crudité Platter

• Fruit Kebabs

• Tabouli over Hummus with Crostini

• Mini Cupcakes: White Chocolate Raspberry (the client’s must-have!)

• Scones: Thyme Leek Cheddar, Chocolate Chip, Mixed Berry

Memory Guestbook Options with The Oh So Frilly Signature Package

With our Oh So Frilly Signature Package, clients get to choose from three unique memory guestbook options — all included as part of the experience. Each option captures who came to celebrate while giving guests a fun and memorable activity.

Guestbook options, reimagined:

• Audio Guestbook

• Vintage-Inspired Photo Booth

• Digital Film Cameras

  
  

For this baby shower, the client chose the digital film cameras as her guestbook option. We placed cameras throughout the venue and at the mama-to-be’s table setting. Guests couldn’t resist picking up the cameras during the shower! Why hire one photographer when you can have 18? Okay… maybe they’re amateurs, but the perspectives are priceless.

Pro Tip: Not a fan of the usual baby shower games or looking to skip BINGO? Renting one of these creative guestbook options can keep your guests entertained and engaged.

These rentals are offered through our sister company, Clicksburgh Retro Rentals, which boasts an extensive collection of vintage-inspired event and wedding rentals.

These cameras combine the nostalgic look of film photos with the convenience of digital technology. Think of them as stylish point-and-shoot cameras or upgraded disposable cameras. These trendy cameras are especially popular for weddings. In fact, for many Clicksburgh's wedding clients, we set one camera at each reception table — just like the classic tradition from the ’80s!

Wrapping Up in Pink Perfection

Every detail of this intimate baby shower was thoughtfully designed to create a cozy, memorable experience for the mama-to-be and her closest friends and family. From the delicate pink peonies to the charming vintage china, from perfectly crafted tea bites to an interactive guestbook option — it was a day full of joy and love.

These days, many hosts are choosing smaller, more intimate guest lists for their showers—and that’s absolutely okay. At Oh So Frilly Events, our cozy space comfortably seats up to 24 guests (often fewer for extra comfort), making every celebration feel personal and meaningful. Smaller gatherings bring less stress and drama, allowing you to truly savor the moment with your closest friends and family. Intimate doesn’t mean less dreamy — it means more one-on-one time with each guest, creating moments filled with warmth, laughter, and memories that last a lifetime.

At Oh So Frilly Events, we’re all about making your day effortless. You shouldn’t be thinking about bringing in plates, who's cutting the cake, or checklists—you should be fully present with your guests.

If you’re dreaming of a baby shower, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or any special celebration—and love a touch of nostalgia—we’d be delighted to be your hostess with the mostess.
