Baby Shower Centerpieces - A Must For Your Party
If you’re organizing a baby shower, you have lots od details to think about and plan for in advance. Using your creative abilities will help make your baby shower centerpiece unique, and keep the costs down.
Edible Baby Shower Centerpieces
- Candy Topiaries: These can be made with styrofoam blocks and balls, with either plain or attractively decorated flower pots, cinnamon sticks, candy corn or other not too hard candies, and a glue gun.
- The Watermelon Buggy: If you’re feeling extra creative, carve a watermelon into the shape of a baby buggy or carriage, which actually isn’t as difficult as it first looks, and then fill with all sorts of delicious fruits such as grapes, melon balls, and cherries. Using a lettuce garnish as a base, you can add slices of orange plus cherries as a “hubcap” in the center.
Non-Edible Baby Shower Centerpieces
- Baskets: You can search local stoers and find attractive baskets to use as a centerpiece base for beautiful centerpieces. These could include items that are either geared toward the new mother, or for the guests to take home as gifts. Remember, though, that these days “basket” can mean just about any time of container, not just an old fashioned wicker basket.
Some fillers for the basket could include bottles, toys, socks, pacifiers, teethers, lotions, and bath toys, or if the centerpieces are for the guests, add candles, aromatherapy items, coupons for book stores, spas, and hair salons, as well as bubble bath, books, nail polish, chocolates, and useful items for the kitchen.
Baby Sock Roses: You can use plain vases to hold your baby sock roses. Select artificial flowers that fit with your color theme, baby’s breath, wire and some pairs of baby socks in your chosen color. Oh, and don’t forget some greenery as a foil. Each sock should be tightly rolled, with thinner socks working best, by starting from the toe, working towards the opening, and finished by fastening with double sided tape.
Experiment with rolling or folding the socks to achieve the desired look of petals, and then insert the floral wire and wrap the bottoms of the “flowers” in green floral tape before arranging in vases.
- Diaper Cakes and Wreaths: An old favorite diaper cakes and wreaths are still popular in today. With a bit of imagination, you can still make diaper cakes unique with your choice of decorations for “icing” the cake. The idea could be used to make diaper cupcakes, also using either disposable or cloth diapers.
Some other ideas include using colored balloons either alone or with flowers, or attached to cute stuffed animals with pretty ribbons. A cute plush toy can be transformed into a centerpiece with imaginative decoration, useing things like bibs, baby blankets, baby bottles and so on.
Painting and stenciling inexpensive flower pots can make great baby shower decorations. Just choose your own stencil designs and sayings for a unique decoration. Instead of buying costly flowers from a florist, head to the supermarket the morning of the shower and purchase a few seasonal bouquets for a fraction of the price. The bouquets can then be broken down and added to the painted pots, or placed singularly in clear glass vases.
Once you have made your decisions on baby centerpiece then you can think about getting organized and sending out those baby invitations.
