When decoration for a baby shower, there
are a few key aspects that should be considered:
1) Will your baby shower adhere to a theme?
Visit our baby shower theme for ideas about selecting a theme.
If you are using a theme, then it is good to be consistent. People
are most often impressed when decorating follows a selected theme.
However, note that it doesn't have to be as specific as just rubber
ducks. You can use baby items as a general theme and mix it up
if desired.
2) Plates, cups and napkins.
If you are serving food, like most baby showers do, then baby
themed tableware is often appropriate. If possible, try to make
sure that the plates, cups, and napkins all match. Some places
also have baby themed table cloths that are great for showers.
3) Confetti, banners, and streamers
The most common banners and streamers are "It's a Boy or
Girl" streamers and can be attached around the walls. These
decorations are usually very affordable and an easy way to decorate.
Confetti can come in shapes like rocking horses, ducks, or bears.
It usually takes more time to clean up confetti, but it may be
worth it for some parties.
4) Yard signs
Yard signs, particularly the popular stork yard sign, is a good
way to announce a new baby and also let your neighbors know about
your baby shower. Another benefit is that guests will be able to
easily locate the house that the shower is being held at.
5) Centerpieces and placecard holders
A baby shower cake is the most common centerpiece for a shower.
Other ideas include floral arrangements, baskets, and bouquets.
Themed placecard holders are commonly available for purchase online.
You can also make your own by purchasing a regular placecard holder
and attaching a clip-on stuffed bear for example. Flower shops
often carry such items.
Decorating can be a challenging, but fun task and carefully selected
decorations can really set the atmosphere for your baby shower
party.
