Baby Shower Centerpieces - Have Your Shower Standout by These
Unusual Table Decoration Ideas
What is the big hit to any baby shower? The baby shower
centerpieces are no doubt-ably the best answers.
Traditional baby shower centerpiece ideas often revolve around
floral arrangements with a few balloons, though the modern era
welcomes inventive styles for just about everything.
Floral baby shower centerpieces surrounded with candles are
perfect gifts for new baby girls or baby boys. Make sure to use
flowers that are in season for greater freshness and use baby
bottles as vases for fresh flowers.
You can purchase items needed to make centerpieces from party
supply stores, craft stores, Dollar Stores, Wal-Mart, K-Mart,
Shopko and Target. Online baby shower stores will carry table
centerpieces of a much wider variety than the local merchants.
Remember to stick your centerpiece to the theme and color
scheme.
Look for something unusual? If you are baking a baby shower cake
as the centerpiece, have guests arrive early to help the cake
decoration - you want to make a surprise for the new mom right?
Nothing can be more appealing to have a fabulous diaper cake.
It's a three-for-one baby shower gift (a centerpiece, a baby
gift basket and its baby items can be used for your shower
games).
A gift basket can be a nice centerpiece too. It's lined with a
receiving blanket and filled with all kinds of baby items. To
make your gift basket centerpieces more appealing, add a soft
toy with helium balloons attached to the blanket handles, and
wrapped in cellophane with a pretty bow.
Putting some glass pebbles in the bottom of a clear glass bowl
and two-thirds fill the bowl with water. Floating frogs, rubber
ducks, or any plastic cartoon toys. The coolest idea is to have
a family frogs or ducks, and add a few drops of blue food
coloring to the water to make it like a pond.
For an Asian theme shower party, you can purchase Japanese
lanterns at party supplies or craft stores. Use one lantern as
the base of each arrangement and surround it with bamboo pots or
votive candles. And have a traditional Japanese table setting to
complement your baby shower centerpiece.
Most of baby shower hostesses make their own centerpieces as
they love such a creative activity as well as it shows their
love and support to the mom-to-be.
If none of the baby shower centerpieces above knock your socks
off...close you eyes. What do you see? A giant Rubber Duck, a
green plant topped with a stuffed Pooh, or any stand alone items
related to your theme?
Just unleash your creativity and open your mind to new and
memorable ideas for unique baby shower centerpieces. Some of the
most elegant, unusual and unforgettable decorative touches can
exist even within a strict budget.
Whatever you do, photograph your masterpiece before your guest
of honor takes it home!
