Baby Shower Cheat Sheet Will Make You the #1 Nana

One-of-a-Kind Baby Shower Ideas with Rental Tableware and Decorations

Baby Shower Decorations and Dishware

So Tiny, So Small, So Loved by All 

Grandma, is this your first grandchild?
Is the Mom-to-Be your daughter or daughter-in-law? 
Is it a boy, a girl, or a surprise to all? 
Aunties and Best Friends, are you in charge of this special event? 
Is this little one a long awaited miracle?

No matter the answer to these questions, we are definitely throwing a baby shower or even a sprinkle for the dapper little one in diapers! And by we, I mean you and me.  This day is an important milestone, and I have the best selection of vintage dishware, glassware and decorations for that much needed baby bling for the blessed Mom-to-Be and the CUTIE that is on the way.

How Can You Make This Shower THE Best Ever?

After you've chosen the date, booked the venue, created party games, and made guest take away favors, you need a theme, a menu and desserts. That's where Dish & Decor comes in. Our rental prop decorations will complement your theme. Our unique dishware will make your table settings perfect. And our beautiful serving pieces for your sweet table are quite beautiful. We have all of the things for the place settings, centerpieces, and vignettes.  Leave the table settings to us.  That is our expertise.  We are not planners, but we have the unique pieces you need.

​The most important step for this shower is to set up a free consultation with Dish & Decor Vintage Rental!

Hosting a baby shower at a hall or venue?

Let's elevate the standard place setting and enhance the shower theme. Let us spice up the tablescape. It doesn't have to be plain or boring. Table settings make a statement. We can add to the venue's standard pieces or enhance your own table settings at home. The simplest way is to add our festive colorful glasses to your table!

​What is the Baby Shower Theme?

What a Cutie!

Glorious Gold Collection

Elegant Floral Collection

What a Cutie baby shower featured my Glorious Gold and Elegant Floral Collection dinnerware, amber and pink goblets, and soup served in my wide mouth teacups. ​With little cutie oranges placed in my stemmed shot glasses with guests' names as their place cards, the What a Cutie baby shower or sprinkle is absolutely adorable.

Baby Girl Shower Decorations and Dishware

He or She? What Will Baby Be? 

With the Linen Couple Collection, the Blue & White Collection, the Vintage Rose Collection or the Scalloped Water Lily Collection with pink depression glass salad plates, the Bella goblets, etched glass coupes, colorful glassware and mismatched flatware, we can create an uber cute table setting. Don't forget the sweet display, pink boudoir chair or tea cart for the momma-to-be. If you prefer a gender neutral color scheme, check out our green and amber goblets which pair beautifully with our Linen Coupe Collection. Don't forget I also have linen rentals to ground your tables with the perfect color.

What is a Sprinkle?

Traditionally, baby showers are given for first born babes. Sprinkles are a smaller, typically less formal, gathering given for second borns. Sprinkles usually involve fewer guests and gifts.  It is a chance to get together on a much smaller scale than a baby shower. Let's put together a Sprinkle for the deserving momma-to-be.

What is a Splash?

A term I just made up! I think some baby showers were not given their rightful due because of CoVid, so I call a redo.  Throw a Splash!  If the drive-by or zoom shower just didn't do it for you then get together now, probably with the baby in tow, and have a Splash.  A festive gathering post Co-Vid. No one needs an excuse to celebrate a sweet babe!
