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.
