Baby Shower Centerpieces That Double as a Gift!
Here you will learn how to make and where to purchase your baby
shower centerpieces. As the centerpiece is the focal point of
the baby shower, it is very important for you to design or
purchase the right one.
You need to place them above eye level at the table to keep from
blocking the view of the and the guest of honor from seeing each
other at the table. There are many different types of baby
shower centerpieces to choose from. One very popular type of
centerpiece which doubles as your baby shower gift is a baby
diaper cake.
Once you have picked your theme you need to keep it featured
around that theme. If making your own baby shower centerpiece,
many of the supplies needed will be available locally. However,
going online will add to the variety of baby shower centerpieces
you have to choose from.
Many baby shower centerpieces will be made with candles
surrounding them. Such as floral centerpieces, using fresh or
artificial flowers. Fresh flowers will be more economical if you
choose flowers that are in season. When choosing artificial
flowers, you can go with silk, chocolate flowers such as roses,
plastic flowers, or light-up roses.
- Use a wicker basket and fill it with baby items. You
could put a cloth diaper, diaper pins, baby bottles, bibs, baby
socks, pacifiers and other small baby items. Surround the basket
with small candles or put a couple of helium balloons tied to
the handle.
- If using a beach theme, use a beach bucket and place a
flower arrangement inside, with candles around the outside. Or
put small tools for the beach inside the bucket.
- Fill a small goldfish bowl with water and fill it with
floating candles and flower buds. Or you might even add a
goldfish to the water.
- Use votive holders and candles that match your theme. They
will provide a soft type of illumination to the event.
- Go to a craft section or a craft store and purchase small
pink and blue gemstones. You could place these in votive
holders, or small glass vases of different sizes. Add shredded
tissue to the mix and you will have another lovely baby shower
centerpiece.
- You could get different glass figurines of a stork, swan,
castle, teddy bear, or whatever would fit with the theme. Put
them in a box filled with colored shredded paper and put the
figurine on top. Any of these would be a great addition to your
baby shower.
- Hang an umbrella from the ceiling filled with stuffed
animals. Or you could put flowers inside and add balloons, dolls
and/or ribbons.
- Fill a bucket, bowl, or basket with candy, small stuffed
animals, or flowers.
- If the baby shower is in the fall or winter. Use small
pumpkins, headstones, or leaves of different colors. Pumpkins
could be made of tissue, or small figures of pumpkins.
- Tropical Themes could use many different items to make your
baby shower center piece. Pineapples, tiki lights, small palm
trees, hula dancer center piece, or a flamingo.
- Nautical themes could use small boats, ships, sailboats,
anchors, or a treasure chest.
- Spring themes could include items such as hearts,
leprechauns, or bunnies.
- Western themes could use straw, cowboy hats, cowboy boots,
western badges and rope.
These are just some ideas to choose from. Think about them, mix
and match, or add your own ideas to make baby shower
centerpieces that perfectly match your theme. You and your
guests and guest of honor will have a fun day. They will be
getting away from reality for a short time to rest and enjoy
themselves.
