Best Baby Shower Center Pieces
When planning a baby shower for a friend of family member it is
always important to plan ahead. One thing to think about ahead
of time the center piece for the table or tables.
Traditionally baby shower centerpieces are flow arrangements.
These are things that you can easily do on your own and save a
little money or if you are pressed for time simply pay a florist
to do the work for you. It really depends on your budget versus
amount of free time. It is very simple to really spruce a flower
arrangement up for a baby shower by including some fun baby
items. For example place small teddy bears around the bottom of
the arrangement. You can also add letter blocks, safety pins for
cloth diapers, rattles or other small baby toys. These add a
light and fun touch to the traditional flower arrangement and
make the baby shower center pieces really stand out.
Another option that is becoming very popular is diaper cakes.
These can either be real baby shower cakes decorated with
diapers and baby items on them or they can be cakes actually
made out of diapers (But you don't eat these cakes). Diaper
cakes are often wrapped in cellophane and have a very decorative
bow and fun. These can make a very striking centerpiece for a
baby shower and an easy conversation piece.
Another fun and festive option is balloons. Balloons a very
easy, one can just go to their local party store and have a
bunch of balloons made into an arrangement. Plus balloons are
very festive and they always say party. To add a little more of
the bay shower touch to balloons you can easily die baby rattles
to the bottom of the balloons as a weight to keep them on the
table.
A very non-traditional idea might be to take an empty fishbowl
and decorate it paint pens, beads or other fun objects that can
be found at your local craft store. Then add some water and
candles and you have a very unique baby shower centerpiece.
Another non-traditional idea that I have personally used was a
small collection of toy fire trucks and police cars with
balloons tied to them. This of course was a baby shower for a
new baby boy.
Some important tips to remember when thinking about a baby
shower centerpiece are: 1. Leave yourself enough time to
completely the project in a relaxed manner 2. Plan to have
problems with materials etc and then if you don't you will
finish ahead of schedule. 3. Enlist the help of other friends.
They often have fun decorating for a baby shower. 4. Plan your
theme first and then work outwards based on the theme. 5. Most
of all is be creative. There is no one-way to do this and it is
important to be creative, have fun and do the work with love.
If you follow the above suggestions and brainstorm some of your
own ideas the bay shower centerpiece is sure to be a huge
success. Again it is important to take the time to be creative
and really enjoy the project. These will show in the final
results and everyone will see the love and effort that were put
into the baby shower.
