Baby Shower Decorations Ideas
One thing that stumps many hostesses is coming up with some great baby shower decorations ideas, but it doesn’t have to be as difficult as you think.
Some of the best ways to brainstorm decoration ideas is to head to your local bookstore and start flipping through some baby magazines or elicit ideas from friends and family members. Just about everyone I know has been to at least a baby shower or two every year, so this is always a great source to tap into. Get their thoughts and ideas on what they have seen, what they like, and see which ideas you like the best.
It is important to keep in mind what the mother to be wants and what her personality is like. Is she very conservative or does she have a lot of flare to her personality? A more conservative mother may not appreciate if you over do things, while this may be just what the doctor ordered for other mothers.
Also keep in mind that decorating for a baby shower doesn’t have to be a budget killer either. In fact, you can really do a fantastic job on a very limited budget if you get creative.
Spice Things Up With Balloons
Almost every shower has balloons, but they don’t have to be so boring.
One idea that is sure to be a big hit is to order customized balloons in the shape of baby pacifiers, rattles, etc. This can really liven up any shower and they make great conversation pieces. I guarantee you that guests will notice and remember them. You can also take this a step further and also order customized balloons with the mother’s name on them as well.
Have a Unique Diaper Cake
One of the most unique centerpieces any shower can have is a diaper cake, and not only is this a huge eye-catcher, but it is also very practical as well.
A diaper cake can be made into just about any shape you desire such as a fire truck, baby carriage, teddy bear, tricycle, etc. The diapers are used to shape the design and can then be finished with paper, bows, wash cloths etc.
A well done diaper cake makes any shower memorable and best of all contains items the expectant mother can use when the baby is born.
Directions for how to make one can easily be found online, or if you prefer, you can just have one custom made for your shower.
Unique Baby Shower Favors
You want to give your guests something to take home with them, which they will remember and not toss in the trash, but that will also compliment your décor as well.
Some great favors include personalized jams, scented candles, or if your guests have a sweet tooth you can offer chocolates in the form of baby shapes.
While these are just a few ideas you can use, I hope it has been helpful. Just keep in mind that decorating for a shower is supposed to be fun and not stressful. So remember to enjoy yourself and it will make the process much more enjoyable!
