Making Your Own Baby Shower Centerpieces

When you want to throw someone a baby shower you might find that it is quite expensive. You can ask all the guests to pitch in, but you might want to simply find ways to make it cheaper. One such way is with the baby shower centerpieces. These are important for making your venue look great, but you can easily save a lot of money by making them at home or creating them with other items for the party. Here are some special and fun baby shower centerpieces.



When you start thinking about the centerpiece you should do some research first. Find out what the mom to be likes in terms of flowers and colors. What color has been chosen for the nursery? Is there a specific theme? Is the baby a boy or a girl? Once you have this information you can create the baby shower decorations much more easily.



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.



For something simple and pretty you can use balloons and some cut flowers that are a favorite and place them into a vase. You can even use streamers and they can all be color coordinated with the theme. You can then print some baby items and stick them all over the table and vase as well as on the balloons for a fun finish.



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.



With your baby shower you can easily use a specific theme or character to create interesting centerpieces. If you want to do a baby Winnie the Pooh theme you can have fluffy toys in the center of the table inside a basket (this can also serve as a gift). Around this you can place some honey jars filled with little flowers.



For a color theme you can use anything you have at home. It can be balloons, streamers, candles, flowers, and more to just make a centerpiece in the perfect colors. You can even use some gemstones or colorful bits of ribbon and paper. You can also find some twigs to spray or pine cones that can be sprayed in the right color.



Once you have come up with some great ideas or if you want to work on these ideas you can then go around your home and see what you have that you can use. You can also borrow items from other guests and of course spend some money on the cheaper items. With a little help you can make wonderful baby shower centerpieces with very little cost involved.
