Baby Shower Centerpieces: 4 Quick & Cute Ideas
Are you hosting a Baby Shower for some special parent’s-to-be? If so, here are some quick and cute ideas to create baby shower displays for the event:
Diaper Cake The diaper cake is one of the most well-known and easiest baby shower displays you can create for the centerpiece. The diaper cake is created by using a bag of disposable diapers and wrapping them with ribbon into a circle “cake” shape. Making a set of three different size “cakes” with the diapers, you then stack them one on top of each other with the largest on the bottom to the smallest on top. This makes it look like a big layer cake, almost like a wedding cake. Once the layers are put together, add small baby items like diaper ointments, powder, pacifiers, and toys. Then add a “cake topper” like a small teddy bear or rubber ducky on the top. Balloons can be added to give the cake height and then it is placed in the middle of the gift table so guests can enjoy it. The parents take it home with them at the end of the baby shower to enjoy the gifts and the diapers once baby arrives.
Gift Basket A baby needs many things so a gift basket is a nice way to create a gift that doubles as a baby shower centerpiece. Using a large basket, fill it with all the little necessities that a baby might need, lots of little gifts and cards. Then place this in the middle of the table and let other guest contribute to filling it with their gifts and cards. The parents can easily tote things home at the end of the party. They will also use it when baby comes to store clothes, diapers or baby supplies in the nursery.
Noah’s Ark – This is a favorite for the parents-to-be expecting twins or multiples. Simply find two or more of the same cute stuffed animals and tie them together with helium balloons. You can set them in the center of the table and each stuffed animal becomes a unique baby gift for each child.
Rubber Ducks- A fishbowl filled with various rubber duckies makes a cute centerpiece for the baby shower. Guests, including any siblings-to-be, can take home a rubber duckie as a favor. You can even plan your shower games or door prizes ahead of time by writing a number on their underside. To make it even cuter, you will want to make sure there is a larger “mommy and daddy” duckie in the bowl for the parents-to-be to take home with them to enjoy. An adorable alternative to the glass fishbowl is to fill a baby bathtub half full with water and let the rubber duckies “swim” in the water.
