What to look for in a baby shower venue, what it costs to host one at Lulu in Kirkland, styling ideas and a simple three-hour plan.
Quick answer: Lulu is a private event room at 11909 124th Ave NE, Kirkland, WA that you can rent for a baby shower. The room seats up to 45 guests, prices start at $300, you can bring your own food and cake, and our team can decorate it for your theme. Weekday showers (Monday to Friday) can use the $450 Weekday Special: two private hours plus a hosted workshop.
Most baby showers start in someone's living room, until the guest list reaches thirty and the host does the maths on chairs, parking and clean-up. A rented room solves all three problems.
Lulu was built for family celebrations, so it is the right size for an afternoon of cake, gifts and games. This guide covers what a baby shower venue in Kirkland should give you, what it costs at Lulu, how to plan a relaxed three-hour shower, and the questions guests ask most often.
What makes Lulu a good baby shower venue
A shower is not a big event, but it has needs of its own. Here is how our room covers them:
- Privacy. Gift opening and speeches need a quiet, private room. At Lulu the whole room is yours for your time slot.
- The right size. Twenty to forty-five guests should feel cosy, not lost. Our room seats up to 45 people at tables.
- Your own food. You can bring your own food, drinks and cake, so the menu and the budget stay in your hands.
- A comfortable seat for the guest of honour. Expecting parents spend a lot of the afternoon sitting down, so climate control and real chairs matter more than a dance floor.
- Easy arrival. Free on-site parking and a wheelchair-accessible entrance help grandparents, strollers and anyone carrying a gift-wrapped crib mobile.
- A backdrop that photographs well. Your guests will take hundreds of phone photos, so a light, clean interior does a lot of the decorating for you.

How much does a baby shower at Lulu cost?

| Option at Lulu | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Private room rental | From $300 | The whole room, tables and chairs, speakers, restroom, parking |
| Weekday Special (Mon–Fri) | $450 | Two private hours plus a hosted creative workshop |
| Decorations | Quoted for your theme | Balloon garlands, backdrops, table styling, set up before guests arrive |
| Food and cake | Your choice | Bring your own, or use a caterer or bakery you love |

Ways to keep the budget down
- Choose a weekday. A Friday or mid-week afternoon shower is often easier for out-of-town relatives, and the $450 Weekday Special includes an activity.
- Bring your own food. A grazing board, sandwiches and a good cake from a local bakery cost far less than a catering package.
- Let the room do the decorating. One balloon garland behind the dessert table is usually enough, because the walls and furniture are already bright and colourful.
Baby shower ideas that work in our room
A dessert table as the centrepiece
Put one table against the striped wall, add a balloon garland in two or three soft colours, and set out the cake, cupcakes and macarons. It becomes the photo spot for the whole afternoon.
A hands-on activity instead of the usual games
Guests who do not know each other relax faster when their hands are busy. Our team can run a creative workshop, such as painting or tote-bag decorating, and guests take home something they made. Onesie decorating works well too, if you bring plain bodysuits.
A gender reveal or sip-and-see
The same set-up works for a gender reveal or a sip-and-see after the baby arrives. For a sip-and-see, the soft play area gives older siblings and cousins somewhere safe to play.
Co-ed showers
With seating for 45 and room to move around, a co-ed shower for couples and friends does not feel crowded. Bluetooth speakers mean the music is yours.
A simple three-hour baby shower plan
- First 30 minutes: set-up. Bring the food, cake and gifts table items. If you book decorations, the room is styled before you arrive.
- 0:00–0:30: arrival and drinks. Guests sign the card or guest book and find a seat.
- 0:30–1:15: food. Use the kitchenette counter for a buffet so nobody queues in a corridor.
- 1:15–1:45: a game or workshop. One activity is enough. Pick the one the parents-to-be will enjoy most.
- 1:45–2:30: gifts and cake. Everyone sits together at the long tables for gift opening, then cuts the cake in front of the backdrop.
- Last 30 minutes: goodbyes and pack-up. Free parking right outside makes carrying gifts to the car easy.
