Eye-Catching Centerpieces for the Mom-to-Be
When a couple finds out they’re about to become parents, it’s the most joyous time in their lives. But as with any exciting change, the couple may be overwhelmed with all the things they need to do to get prepared for their bundle of joy’s arrival. If you are planning on helping them with this, then hosting a baby shower for them is always appreciated. Here are some ideas to quickly create easy and cute baby shower centerpieces for the party:
The Diaper Cake – This has become one of the most popular baby shower centerpieces everywhere. A diaper cake is made up of a package of disposable diapers tied together into a circular shape and then stacked on one top of each other, with the largest bundle on the bottom and the smaller “layers” on top, like a wedding cake shape. You can customize it according to the sex of the baby and add plenty of embellishments like stuffed animals, pacifiers and other baby items cascading down the sides. You can even add a “cake topper” by placing a few helium balloons or a baby piggy-bank at the top.
Gift Basket – A large gift basket filled with numerous baby items is always a nice baby shower centerpiece. And the parents-to-be will certainly appreciate that you have provided them with all the necessities for their bundle of joy. Guests can add their own gifts and cards inside the basket. The handle on the basket makes it convenient for the couple to take home the gifts after the party and the basket can be used in their home for other baby supplies and books they will need later on.
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.
