05 / Baby Shower PlanningMaeve Kelly Atelier

Baby shower planning
in Charleston.

A baby shower deserves the same care as the wedding, with none of the pressure. Maeve plans baby showers in Charleston for the person hosting: a brunch, a luncheon or an afternoon in the garden, designed and set so the host can be a guest.

THE POINT OF VIEW
The next chapter deserves its own table.

BRUNCH / LUNCHEON / GARDEN

01The gathering

Formats

A brunch at home. A luncheon in a private dining room. A garden gathering in spring. The guest list and the season usually decide.

02The work

What Maeve handles

Venue research when you need it. The tabletop, florals and rentals. Invitations and a few pieces of signage that match. Setup before guests arrive and breakdown after. For past clients, it picks up where the wedding left off.

03The scope

Timing and fees

Six to eight weeks ahead is comfortable. The fee is set in writing after a first conversation. Venue, food, florals and rentals are paid directly by the host.

THE NEXT CONVERSATION

Let the host be a guest.
