Thread: Baby Shower .... Ideas ??

You can use baby bottles to decorate the tables and then the mom can use the bottles for the baby when it gets here. You can make different Centerpieces the bottles like:

filling the bottle with those tiny babies, pacifiers, etc.....you can usually find these at Dollar Trees and then tie each bottle with ribbion
Centerpieces with flowers
Centerpieces with candy
Centerpieces with candles
Condiments like mustard and ketchup when eating
Game playing by placing in blues & pinks or the other colors you are using for the shower jellybellys in one and having the guests guess how many jellys (winner gets to keep the bottle)

Usable Baby Shower Items as Decorations
Get a basket and place baby care supplies you can get a package of diapers and place them in each basket along with things like baby oil, rattles, binky's, lotions, etc and placed them in the center of each table at the shower. tie ribbons on the basket in the theme colors. You can also use balloons to finish off the baskets that will be used as centerpices. It was a great way to help the mommy-to-be get some essential items as well as making a table look nice

Baby Shower Rattle Decorations
Make a batch of rice crispy treats form the rice crispy into the shape of a ball, allowing it to set and firm up....this will be the top of a baby rattle. Use a Popsicle stick as the handle for the rattle. You can either write or paint on the popsicle stick with phrases such as "Baby on the way", Wrap the top of the rattle (the rice crispy balls) with plastic wrap, and secure it in place with a ribbon.

Baby Booties candy holders
Materials needed: Bathroom Disposable cups, Paper napkins, Cotton Balls, Ribbon, Baby Shower Candy.
Directions: Unfold the napkin, and sit a cup on the napkin and three cotton balls where the toes should be. Pull the napkin up and tuck into the top of the cup then tie some ribbon around the cup about half way down in to a bow. It should should look like a baby bootie then add candy to the "baby Bootie"


Baby Bathtub - If you are serving punch, serve it in a new baby bath tub instead of a punch bowl. Float fruit and even a rubber ducky for fun. It's a cute way to serve drinks and doubles as a gift!

also you can take a fancy umbrella, turn it upside down and fill it with things for the baby...pacifiers, bottles, baby toys, etc. Tie ribbion on the handle and you can hang pacifers and small things from the handle. I received one of these at my baby shower and it was beautiful and something that I will always remember and my baby is almost 9 yrs old now.
