Baby Shower Centerpieces

A baby shower is a festive happy occasion and you always want your table or tables to have a nice centerpiece. If you know the sex of the baby, then I would recommend creating a centerpiece with either pink or blue. However, many times one doesn't know the sex of the baby and you can always use a neutral color (i.e. yellow), or a combination of both (pink and blue). There are several easy ideas you can use to make the perfect baby shower centerpiece:

1. Floral / Plants - One of the easiest ideas to use is a floral arrangement or plant for the centerpiece. You can purchase fresh flowers at your local grocery store and arrange them in a pretty basket. If arranging flowers doesn't come easy for you (like me!), purchase a pretty plant and tie a stuffed animal to it with a pretty ribbon.
   
   I once attended a shower where the host took a sweet beanie baby and tied it to a potted plant with a pretty ribbon - it looked great.
   
   
2. Balloons - If you are on a strict budget, balloons are always an inexpensive option and always make a good centerpiece. Tie the balloons to a colored weight and be sure that the strings are long enough not to block the view for those sitting at the table. You can also purchase some 'It's a boy' or 'It's a girl' colored confetti to place on the table.
   
   
3. Gift Baskets - If you have a guest who is planning to bring a basket filled with items for the new baby - why not display it as the table centerpiece! Or, pick up a cute basket at the local dollar store, and fill it with a variety of baby needs (diapers, soft blankets, bottles, pacifiers, etc).
   
   At a shower I attended recently, the host used a baby bathtub - wrapped individual gifts and placed them in the tub, blew up mini blue balloons (to look like bubbles) and topped it with a rubber duckie. This was a real hit at the shower!
   
   
4. Diaper Cakes - These are all the rage for baby showers! Although these are called cakes, they are not edible. The cakes come in a variety of themes, colors, sizes and can are filled with practical items for the new baby. They can even be personalized!

5. Other - Here are some additional ideas that are easy to implement:
   
   

• Put Votive candles in baby jars
• Lamps - to match the theme of the room - take out of the box and use as the centerpiece
  
  
• Use pacifiers as napkin rings ; use cloth diapers as placemats

I hope these ideas are helpful! As you can see - it is really easy to create an inexpensive yet lovely centerpiece for the baby shower.
