There are many things that come to mind when we say baby shower decorations. It can be the adornments for the ceiling, the walls, the entire party area, the table, and more.
In other words, this category is too broad. So let me narrow it down for you. Let us focus our attention to baby shower table decor.
Centerpiece Tips That Will Rock Your Baby Shower!
For starters, let us discuss about table centerpieces. These decors make great focal points or eye candy for your guests. However, there are details to be considered to strategically arrange them.
- First, you have to find centerpieces with the right size and height. These pieces should not hinder your guests from seeing the activities up front, or prevent guests from talking to other guests in the same table.
- Centerpieces for every table should be uniform. If you are putting stuffed bears in one table, the same decors should be placed on other tables as well.
- A tall centerpiece should be used on your gift table. This way, it will not be covered up by the tall pile of gifts. You can place it on top of a box to keep it from drowning under the presents.
- It is also recommended to use pieces that are functional. A wagon is a good example of a multipurpose piece. It makes for great eye candy. Aside from the aesthetic use, it can also be used as a food platter or favor holder.
Now that you already know the vital details in positioning your centerpieces, let’s get on with the table decoration ideas that you can use.
Table decor may seem like a small thing but it actually isn’t. You can’t decorate too much if the space is limited. But you also can’t put in too little because that would look dull. Here are sample ideas that you can choose from:
- You can use pacifiers as your napkin rings. Aside from being part of the table setting, it can be a great gift for the mom-to-be.
- Baby bath tubs today are shaped into different animals. This makes them cute punch bowl replacements and a great present for the mom-to-be. You can even use them as favor holders. Neat idea, right?
- You can even use feeding bottles as condiment dispensers. Just make the hole on the nipple larger so your ketchup or mustard squeezes out easily. Besides being condiment dispensers, feeding bottles can be made as place cards too. Just remove the nipple and fill the bottle with colorful candies. Tape a piece of paper to a stick and write the guest’s name on this paper. Place this bottle where your guest should be seated.
- For those who are creative and talented, you can buy a watermelon and cut it into a basket or baby carriage. Scrape or scoop the watermelon into balls. Extract the juice and then fill the hollowed melon with fresh fruits such as apples, grapes, and oranges.
You see, creating these exciting table decorations are easy and cute! Good luck and have a great baby shower!
