Hosting a baby shower means creating a celebration that honors the expectant parents while keeping your guests comfortable and well fed. At The Graycliff in Moonachie, we've been helping Bergen County hosts plan showers since 2002. Our venue provides elegant interiors, shower specific menus, and professional banquet service that support a polished celebration.
How to Host an Elegant Baby Shower at The Graycliff
Hosting a baby shower requires attention to space, menu, location, and service details. The Graycliff handles these elements so you can focus on the guest of honor. Below is what you need to know to plan a baby shower at our Bergen County venue.
Choose the Right Ballroom for Your Guest Count
Your first hosting decision is space. We offer three ballrooms that accommodate 50 to 300 guests: the Ballroom, Embassy, and Forum. The Forum creates an intimate atmosphere for smaller gatherings. The Embassy and Ballroom scale up for larger celebrations when you're inviting extended family, multiple friend groups, and coworkers.
When you tour The Graycliff, we'll walk you through each ballroom and recommend the best fit for your expected attendance.
Select Shower Menus Designed for Daytime Celebrations
Baby showers typically happen during brunch or lunch hours. We offer shower brunch, buffet, and lunch options created specifically for daytime events. Our midday buffet and lunch packages give you flexibility in timing and let guests serve themselves at a comfortable pace.
During planning, you'll work with our banquet department to select the menu that fits your shower.
Elegant Interiors for Your Celebration
The Graycliff's elegant interiors provide a refined setting for your baby shower. The landscaped grounds offer outdoor photo opportunities as well. If you want to add specialized decorations, we work with preferred vendors including Stunning Arrangements, Mint Sprig Decor, and Juliana's. These decorators know our spaces.
