Creative Baby Shower Decorating Ideas

Oh, the wonderful world of babies and baby showers! New litle ones coming into our lives, whether we are the expectant parents or the new grandparents, is such a blessing. I would hope that if you have been asked to participate in planning a baby shower, that you will enjoy every minute!

After all, it's not every day that you will get that opportunity, so make it memorable. Baby showers are near and dear to my heart, so listed below are a few ideas that I've seen that might spark some imagination when it comes to decorating for that special event.

Baby Shower Napkin Idea

For the baby showers that are held at a restaurant, or even for one with a dinner or luncheon, this idea is one that is just too cute! Showcased in the photo above is a place setting with a real linen napkin which has been folded into a triangle shape. They folded in the corners (like you would a diaper) and pinned with a real diaper pin. Your party guest will simply love it, and it's a touch that takes very little time, and will add so much.

Precious Baby Shower Dolls

These cuties are by far the most creative idea I've seen. These baby shower dolls are sold with custom matching bibs with the personalization of your choice. They come in many colors, such as pinks, blues, ones with frogs, polka dots, yellows, and more. Sizes vary from 8 inches to 10 inches tall.

Scatter them around the baby shower tables and tie balloons to their hands and they will double as balloon weights. The soft vinyl dolls make really nice gifts for little sisters or a keepsake for any of your baby shower guests too.

Unique Diaper Cakes

Diaper Cakes? I think by now, everyone knows what that is, but I remember the first time I heard those words. I had no idea what it might be, but it sure peaked my interest. Diaper cakes, for those of you that might not know, are simply diapers that are either rolled or layered together in the shape of a round cake. Then they are decorated with so many different baby things.

Baby blankets, ribbons, bows, baby bottles, onesies, pacifiers, and stuffed animals can adorn just about any one of them. They can be one layer, two, or even three. Many websites offer styles that will add something really cute to your baby shower table too. After using them as a centerpiece, then they are a sweet baby gift for the new mother.

I'm always looking for different ideas when it comes to decorations, and with so many choices, it is certainly hard to pick, but if you are looking for a very unique baby shower diaper cake, then there are some online that use doll furniture to adorn theirs. They are sure to be a conversation piece at the shower.

Other diaper cakes use beautiful silk flowers and ribbons tied around each layer. They use anything from daisies to roses, and are for the more elegant baby shower. If you are the creative type, there are instructions online on how to make your own diaper cake, so it might be something for you to try, so don't be afraid.
