Ideas For Baby Shower Centerpieces
There are many things that you can use as a baby shower centerpiece. The more traditional ones that are most frequently used for baby showers are floral arrangements; you can place a selection of your favorite flowers and arrange them in a beautiful basket. If you have a theme color, or motif, you can incorporate it to the decor of your flower arrangement.
You can use different shapes and sizes of basket for your flower arrangements. The best thing about these flower arrangements is that they can add an element of the outdoors into your home. The freshness and beauty of these flowers will add a smooth and delicate touch to your baby shower.
If you want to make your centerpiece fun, and more pleasant, you can simply add other things into your floral basket such as: soft toys, washcloth, bears and bunnies, baby bottles, teething toys, small colorful socks, etc. These would fit right into the theme of the baby shower.
But if you don't want to make your own baby shower centerpiece, you can always choose to buy these floral centerpieces ready-made. The price varies depending on what's included in the pack. The average price of the baby shower basket is around $60 to $100 dollars. It'd most probably include an arrangement of flowers, and various baby items such as: soft toys, blankets, rubber ducks, washcloth, comb & brush sets and rattles, etc.
Another centerpiece that is very popular for baby showers is a diaper cake. Now, understand that a diaper cake is actually NOT an edible cake. It is just a set of diapers that is arranged in such a way as to resemble a real cake! The great thing about this is that the baby can then use the diapers after the baby shower. This is a very practical baby shower centerpiece.
But if what you are after is a more festive mood, you can always use balloons! After all, what is a party without balloons?
Tie a bunch of colorful balloons onto a weight, and then place them on your table. Balloons are very cheap, so if you are working on a limited budget, then balloons are the perfect idea. Plus, they are so easy to find. Just run down to any party store, and voila! Balloons! Fishbowls also work as a great centerpiece too! Beautify your fishbowl with beads; add some water and floating candles. This would make a lovely centerpiece.
A baby shower gift basket also works as a centerpiece too. If you have received such a present in advanced, why not put it out on display. The great thing about this is that it already follows the same theme of the baby shower. Hey! Did you also know that plants could be used as centerpieces too? Just add a toy along with a plant, like a tiny bear or a rubber ducky, and place it in a colorful pot. And instantly you will have a unique baby shower centerpiece !
The secret is to get creative. There are no rules when it comes to choosing suitable baby shower centerpieces. You can even use stuffed toys, and tie them to balloons. Maybe you will want to create a beach theme; you can place a small baby blanket, a beach ball, a toy boat and even a small treasure chest to it!
The occasion of a baby shower is a happy occasion for a new mother, and the baby on board. Baby shower centerpieces add to the atmosphere of the occasion. So just get creative and have fun with it!
