Lovely centerpieces for baby showers

Centerpieces should define and capture the spirit of baby showers. A perfect example of one that does is diaper cakes. These wonderful inventions are adorable and hilarious at the same time. And yet, they're also completely practical centerpieces because they give mommy-to-be plenty of newborn essentials. Diaper cakes are made mainly of disposable diapers, but also contain items like
bottles, pacifiers, booties, blankets, bibs, socks and more. They're just right for baby showers.

You can make these centerpieces yourself as a baby shower gift - this is an excellent option. Or you could also purchase a diaper cake (and there are excellent sources online). Also check out these other ideas given below.

Here's a simple but effective way to create a centerpiece for baby showers. Procure infant items like packs of shampoo & lotions, diapers and other products. Place one or more such packs at the center of each table. And use that as an anchor for a bunch of helium balloons. This looks great; each table now has a 'color spot'. Use an odd number of balloons in each bunch. And take care to keep the string sufficiently long so that the view across tables is not obstructed.

Tulle can be used artfully to make beautiful centerpieces. Here's how. Run white Christmas lights through the tulle. Now bunch up the tulle to look like a miniature mountain and place it on a table. Turn on the lights; you'll see a lovely effect with the soft light diffusing through the tulle. This is great for baby shower parties.

If you're having the celebration close to Christmas time, then get into the Yule tide spirit. But an artificial Christmas tree and hang small baby items from it. Decorate with twinkle lights. This is always a superb centerpiece at baby showers. You can even go further and have miniature Christmas trees on each table, complete with lights.

A traditional favorite centerpiece is, of course, a floral arrangement. You can purchase one at your local florist and customize it for a baby shower with just a little creativity. One example - place the arrangement in a baby buggy basket. You could even spray paint the basket in a color of your choice. Attach a colorful bow to the top of the basket with floral wire. This is a simple but beautiful arrangement.
