Making Your Own Baby Shower Centerpieces

Planning a baby shower for someone is lots of fun and you can create a lovely party with some simple and cost effective decorations and games. You can also make your own baby shower centerpieces that will give the event a special touch that the mom to be will really appreciate. Here are some of the centerpieces that you can easily create at home.

To start off with you should think about what the mother-to-be loves. You can think about favorite colors, favorite flowers and even favorite baby items. Ask if the baby is a boy or a girl. If they have not found out yet, then you can also find out what colors they are planning for the nursery or what theme. These will give you some ideas to use for the centerpieces.

A really fun and eye catching baby shower idea is to use a mobile design and hang all kinds of baby things from it. You can use rattles, teethers, dummies and more. In between you can even hang the baby shower favors for people inside little bags. This means that you can use the favors as part of the centerpiece for a combined use.

Another pretty centerpiece is to use a vase filled with some flowers that the mom to be loves. In amongst these can be balloons and streamers all around. You can make it more baby orientated by using some cute cut out picture of baby things or baby animals and stick them around the vase and even on the vase.

Another way to use something for the party as part of the centerpiece is when it comes to the cake. Make sure the cake is a nice big one and a statement on its own. This cake can be stacked or layered. It can be in the shape of a baby bottle or diaper and you can even have a tier stand with cupcakes on it instead. On each one you can then ice a baby block letter of the alphabet.

All baby showers have a theme, so if you have a character theme like Winnie the Pooh you can have a great time making a centerpiece. You can use a basket and fill it with fluffy Pooh Bear and Friends toys (this can also be a gift afterwards). Around the basket you can place flowers inside little honey pots.

If you are just going for a color theme, then you can use various things for your centerpiece. You can use balloons and streamers, as well as flowers, but for something different what about some of the color gemstones in a vase or some candles of the right fragrance that you are going for. You might even be able to find pine cones to spray or twigs that you can spray and glitter.

As you think about the baby shower and how you will create the right effect, you will then start to get an idea of how you can make your baby shower centerpieces work. You can use some of these ideas or create more of your own. Remember that it can be funny as well, so anything goes really.
