Baby Shower Decoration Ideas

Centerpieces

A centerpiece looks great on the main table, and some centerpieces are practical, too! You can create your own centerpieces or order them from a local gift store or online. Take a look at the following ideas:

• Diaper cake-A diaper cake looks great and will come in handy once baby is born.
• Umbrella centerpiece-Place an umbrella or parasol upside down in the center of the table, and fill it with lots of baby items, such as bibs, pacifiers, diapers, etc.
• Baskets-Fill baskets with flowers, baby toys, or baby accessories, and place in the center of the table. Decorate with extra ribbons, bows, and/or balloons.

Decorating the Table

While of course you'll want to decorate other areas of the room or building that will house the shower, it's easy to begin decorating with the main table. You can copy these decorations on a smaller scale throughout the room. Check out the following ideas:

• Confetti-This is one of the easiest and cheapest forms of decorations. You can scatter confetti along tables throughout the room and nestle other items within the confetti.
• Candy-Look for baby-themed candy, such as pacifiers or chocolate bars in pink or blue. Place bowls of candy along the table, or scatter among confetti or curled ribbons.
• Flowers-Add an elegant look to your baby shower decorations with fresh flowers. These can be placed in vases, baskets, or even scattered down the center of the table. Enhance the flowers you choose with baby's breath and various greenery.
• Balloons-While you may choose to hang balloons from the ceiling, you can also bunch several together along the center of the table if the table is large enough. Intersperse curled sections of ribbon in and around the balloons as well.

Additional Baby Shower Decoration Ideas

You can expand your baby shower decoration ideas to cover the entire room with the following ideas:

• Banners-Order or create a banner welcoming guests and honoring the mom-to-be.
• Balloons-Fill balloons with helium, and let them float from the ceiling, or tie them to the backs of chairs. Place a few balloons outside to help guests locate the house or building where the shower is held.
• Garland-You can order baby shower garden in various designs, including diaper pins, baby bottles, baby rattles, etc.
• Honeycomb decorations-Tissue honeycomb bells and parasols are popular items, and they're inexpensive, too.
