A little structure. A better event.

Keep the gathering relaxed and connected.

A few thoughtful decisions help guests feel welcome without making the afternoon overcomplicated.

  1. Choose the main gathering spot

    Place the parent-to-be’s seat or table where conversation feels natural. Arrange guest seating around the way you want people to mingle.

  2. Add the little destinations

    Give gifts, refreshments, desserts, and games their own places. Keep their locations visible while arranging the tables.

  3. Bring your co-hosts into the plan

    Add guests and group people arriving together. Share the layout so everyone knows where their part of the setup belongs.

Make it work in your space

A cozy table. A place to gather.

Whether you are hosting lunch or a casual afternoon, plan around what people will do together.

A seated lunch

If food is the main part of the celebration, begin with the guest tables and the expected party sizes. Place guests who know each other together, then consider where hosts can help introduce people from different parts of the family.

An afternoon of games and conversation

For a more informal shower, focus on furniture and activity areas rather than a fully assigned seating chart. Give the game or gift-opening area a clear place in the plan so people can gather without moving half the room.

Share the small responsibilities

A co-host bringing desserts and another arranging gifts can use the same diagram. Name those areas before sharing the event. With the setup agreed, the guest list can become the place to check attendance and decide whether another table is needed.

Good questions

Questions about baby showers.

Do I have to assign every guest a seat?

No. You can use the floor plan to arrange furniture and gathering areas without assigning individual guests. Add seating assignments when they are useful for your event.

Can I track who is coming?

Yes. Keep attendance in the guest list. The web app also supports a shareable online RSVP page for collecting responses.

Can I plan a shower at home?

Yes. Set the room dimensions and use tables, chairs, and other library items to represent your space. Add fixed features before arranging the shower.

Your space. Your people.

Start with a plan. Fill it with people you love.
