Memphis Places to Hold a Baby Shower

The question of places in Memphis to host a baby shower (besides in a home) has come up more than once, so I’m finally writing a post about it! Baby showers are a fun way for the people close to you and your husband to celebrate this huge change in your life and help you out in the process. Babies need clothes, diapers and a place to sleep. That may not seem like much but the little things grow so fast (physically and mentally) you keep needing new stuff!

Also, check out our list of places for Moms Night Out and Places for a Spa Weekend.

So put on a nice dress (yes, you’re probably huge, but that’s part of the gig), a big smile, and enjoy this time with your friends and family.

Here are the spots the moms recommend:

The Silver Caboose on the Square in Collierville.

The Grapevine in Arlington. It is pretty small but very nice. It’s a tea party which offers different teas, scones, tea sandwiches, and other goodies. If you get a couple ppl to go in on it, it really isn’t that bad price wise. Totally worth the drive!

We’ve hosted many showers and brunches at Square Beans Coffee

I did a going away party at Square Beans Coffee-downtown Collierville. Awesome location. My guests enjoyed the outside area as well & everyone had an awesome time!

La Baguette Bakery My baby shower was there last year and was so lovely! And the food is delicious! Best petit fours I’ve ever had, hands down!

This will sound like an odd suggestion, but South of Beale on Main St. I went to a great baby shower there with great food.

Central BBQ I had a coed baby shower in a private room at Central BBQ Downtown. Their event coordinator was responsive and offered helpful suggestions. I would definitely use them again!

Great Hall in Germantown I just hosted a huge brunch & baby shower at the Great Hall and Conference Center on Germantown Parkway.

Cupcake Cutie Etc.

Take A Break cafe & coffee shop! We also have a supervised playroom, so we can watch any kiddos while the adults hang out

Owen Brennan’s “Bird Room” is perfect for that amount of people. But any room could fit. They can customize any menu and they have a pastry chef. Contact their special event coordinator, Yolanda Woods. They are fantastic!!

Not totally private, but Interim Restaurant & Bar has a nice area in the back. I’ve seen lots of bday-type parties going on back there. Doesn’t Ciao Bella have a room you can reserve?

The Grove Grill

Old Venice and Napa Cafe also have private rooms.

River Oaks has a room that holds 30 people and they do great lunch or special requests!

Mulan Bistro in Cooper-Young has a fantastic back group room.

The Woman’s Exchange (at least I know of bridal showers held there)

~~The Elegant Farmer~~ now closed

The Melting Pot in Cordova

Pinot’s Palette– it’s a painting studio and they can design paintings for the mother-to-be, the babies room etc.

Pyro’s East Memphis has a private room! How fun would a pizza and beer shower be?

Capriccio Grill in the Peabody has been our venue of choice for birthday parties and baby showers. They do a great job and pretty much can accommodate whatever you suggest.

Noah’s Event Venue

TransforMama Work & Play Studio. Escape the chaos of motherhood. Enjoy a cup of coffee or refreshing workout with local moms. Share and collaborate in our co-space. My favorite baby shower venue in Memphis!

Junior League of Memphis allows you to rent a room – a very historical location!

Muddy’s has bakery tours for $25 – you can schedule a private one for a group!

Paint A Piece – in Germantown – has a private room. They allow you to bring in gifts and food – with the purchase of a piece to paint!
