Centerpieces

Centerpieces are probably the most important baby shower decorations of all. And why shouldn't they be special? At the center of each table, or in the middle of the room, the centerpieces at a baby shower should start conversations, as well as be a practical gift for the mom-to-be to take home with them at the end of the party.

To create the perfect centerpiece baby shower decorations, start with a base that has a dual purpose, such as a baby tub, diaper bag, or even something as simple as a cake platter that can be reused later on. Add plenty of items for mom and baby, pacifiers, diapers, bottles, etc.; and top off with a bunch of pink or blue helium balloons. Not only will these baby shower decorations look cute as a button sitting in the middle of the table, they'll sure come in handy once baby is born.

Party Favors

What baby shower decorations would be complete without some great little party favors for guests? Create small nut and mint dishes out of cloth napkins, folded into triangles and pinned to look like little diapers. Place one at each place setting for a favor that every guest will love.

Around The Room

Of course, baby shower decorations aren't all about what's on the tables. After all, you've got an entire room to spruce up, right? So how do you create an atmosphere that says "baby"? Try taking tulle in either pink or blue, and wrapping it around a strand of clear Christmas lights. Tie on with bows every two or three feet, to create a swag that can be hung around the perimeter of the room.

Don't forget to use plenty of balloons as baby shower decorations around the room. Helium balloons can be "floated" in mid-air, simply by tying their ribbon to a pacifier or other small object that will weight them down, but are still light enough to stay up off the floor.

As you can see, the best baby shower decorations are invented through sheer creativity. Put your mind to the task at hand, and we're sure that you'll be able to use these suggestions as well as your own inventiveness to create the perfect baby shower decorations.
