Carriage Baby Shower Decorations

Carriage baby shower decorations are quite popular, and these decorations are easy to work into almost any baby shower theme.

While you certainly don't have to have a baby shower theme in order to host a successful shower, themes make the planning of a shower much easier. You can let the guest-of-honor choose the theme or have the hostesses in charge of selecting the theme and organizing the shower. However, once the theme has been chosen, other aspects of the shower will simply fall into place, including the decorations.

What's popular today? Carriage baby shower decorations make a lovely choice that works well with a variety of shower activities and items. From centerpieces to announcements and favors to other decorations, the carriage theme can work in a variety of ways.

The following carriage baby shower decorations are just suggestions. You can modify them to fit your own celebration.

• Watermelon baby carriage centerpiece-Create a delicious and colorful centerpiece by cutting a watermelon lengthwise. Using toothpicks, attach orange or lemon slices to the sides of the watermelon to create wheels. Use an ice cream scoop or melon ball utensil to make watermelon balls out of the inside of the watermelon, then add the balls back into the watermelon shell.
• Baby carriage gift basket-Purchase or borrow an antique baby carriage or pram. Place small, brightly wrapped gifts into the basket. Tie a large bow to the handle, and present the gift-filled carriage to the honoree. Small gift suggestions could include baby lotions, wipes, baby shampoo, hairbrush and comb set, baby thermometer, bibs, or pacifiers.
• Shower favors-Consider giving baby carriage favors, like this delicate baby carriage candle or this beautiful crystal baby carriage. For a yummy alternative, consider edible baby carriage favors, like a chocolate lollipop or these three inch carriage shaped chocolate favors.
• Shower cake-Visit a local baker and order a baby carriage cake that features icing to match the shower theme.

While of course the traditional color schemes of pink, blue, pastels, and white will certainly work for any baby shower, there are lots of new color schemes that have made their way into today's shower themes.

• Pink and brown-A pink and brown combination is an adorable color scheme choice for a baby shower that celebrates the birth of a little girl. Use patterns like stripes and polka dots with these colors. Create baby carriage invitations on the computer or order them online. Choose a pink background with brown wording and creative accents for a unique look that guests will love.
• Blue and black-A bright blue and black color theme is a great choice for a shower that celebrates the birth of a boy. Invitations could include blue backgrounds with black lettering. The cake could also feature these colors on the icing. In addition, you can tie blue and black balloons to the backs of guests' chairs.
• Pink and black-For an elegant look that's reminiscent of Victorian days, choose pink and black colors. Cover tables with black satin or silk material. Add pink plates, napkins, cups, and utensils to the table, and alternate pink and black balloons on the backs of the chairs. If possible, fill a small baby carriage with tied sachets of potpourri to use as a centerpiece.

Finally, if you can't find an antique carriage or pram, ask hostesses to go in together and purchase a baby stroller. You can still fill the stroller with small gifts, and you can use the baby carriage theme in other decorations, favors, invitations, etc. If you have any other ideas you'd like to share with our readers on baby shower decorations, please do so in the comments section of this article.
