More Ideas For Baby Shower Centerpieces - Flowers, Candles, Balloons, and Creative Centerpieces
The way you decorate the venue for a baby shower will make a big difference to how party guests will remember the shower, as well as appreciate it on the day. You will no doubt want balloons and other party decor around the room, even in the approach to the house and in the hallway. But many shower hostesses also like to impress with the table layout and especially the baby shower centerpiece.
What you decide on for a centerpiece is limited only by your imagination, plus practical issues such as the risk of fire from candles with a lot of guests around, and maybe paper from gifts. Choosing a centerpiece design that blends well with the rest of your table decoration will help create a good overall effect, without detracting from the centerpiece itself. Remember, baby showers are held to enjoy, appreciate and remember. Come up with a unique and attractive centerpiece, and your efforts will be remembered.
Some Simple Baby Shower Centerpiece Ideas
If you are stuck on the candle centerpiece idea, then there is a way of reducing the risks of fire, while having a charming and attractive shower centerpiece at the same time. You can do that by using a pretty bowl with floating candles. You can find floating candles with all sorts of shapes, and you may be lucky and find some that fit your party theme. You can even color the water to make it set of the candles better, but be sure to take it easy on the coloring and select the color well.
Flower centerpieces are very popular and easily made unique and attractive. Flowers come in so many colors, you should have no difficulty in creating an arrangement that fits your theme, and the gender of the baby if known. You will need something attractive to arrange the flowers in, and do the arrangement yourself. If you are not good at flower arranging, I am sure the florist will be delighted to help you come up with a flower centerpiece which is both unusual and beautiful.
Balloons are a popular baby shower decor choice, but you could consider balloon centerpieces too, which can be as attractive as flowers but cheaper. Using small Mylar balloons is one idea, arranged in a vase.
Unique Creative Baby Shower Centerpieces
If you are the craft enthusiast type, or even a keen cook, then you will find it easier than the rest of us to come up with a creative centerpiece for the baby shower. A couple of ideas are making large poppies with tissue paper to use instead of real flowers, or filling a vase with a display of sugar cookies with skinny dowels in them.
One amusing centerpiece can be simply made by using a disposable diaper as a receptacle for potpourri. The mother to be will not have such sweet smelling diapers in the future, that's for sure.
