Baby shower table decorations are an important aspect when preparing the festivities because they create the ambiance and reinforce the theme. They indicate to the party guests whether or not the baby will be a boy or a girl, or keep them guessing with the use of neutral colors. Table decor also enhances and surrounds the centerpiece, ensuring the continuous flow of the theme or color scheme and filling empty spaces.
Decorating Kits
Decorating Kits come in a number of themes and a few colors, ensuring that everything matches and offering options that might be similar to the decor of the baby's room. They often come with the main centerpiece, two smaller side pieces, garland, hanging medallions, confetti, balloons, or cut outs. An average kit consists of six to fifteen pieces with costs ranging from $5.99 to $9.99. Larger kits that include paper plates, napkins and tablecloths are also available.
Baby Boy Shower Decorations
Blue, green, and yellow are the obvious color choices for baby shower table decorations if the mom-to-be is expecting a boy and should be used if there is no theme, or if the mom wants guests to know the baby's gender.
When you choose baby shower décor for a theme party, animals, cars, sports, and dinosaurs are all options for setting the tone.
Blue baseball candles
Creature-shaped place holders
Toy trucks overflowing with chocolates
Dinosaur eggs containing a surprise can also double as favors
Baby Girl Shower
Pretty pinks, light lavenders, or rosy reds might brighten the room at a baby shower celebrating the arrival of a little girl.
Available themes for baby shower table decorations include
Princess
Ballerina
Ladybug
Cowgirl
Tiny feet
Butterflies
Fairies
Flowers
Embossed or engraved labels with the names of guests and the shower date can be put on small crowns while little tutu's encompass candle holders or vases. Squeaky ladybug toys and crimson rose petals scattering the table, or small feet tip-toeing in the form of confetti might bringing ooh's, aah's and smiles from the guests.
Other baby shower decoration ideas include cowgirls that giddy up on winding horse figurines or act as tapered candle holders, providing soft light among the seating areas.
Either, Or
When the baby’s gender is unknown, there are a number of neutral themes:
Teddy bears
Stars
Angels
Noah's ark
Nursery rhyme characters
All of these may serve as themes for a boy’s shower or a girl’s party as well as the neutral colors of green, yellow, and orange. Star or angel ribbons can descend from low lights or chandeliers and also add flare by trickling off of tree branches.
Individual tables can have the name of a nursery character with baby shower decor and favors all matching. For example, a Humpty Dumpty table might have plastic or fabric eggs sitting on the brim of small flower vases or a crafted Styrofoam wall, while crocheted sheep laying on green faux grass could represent Little Bo' Peep.
Baby shower table decorations could also consist of animals from Noah's Ark or little teddy bears, both of which might serve as miniature diaper cake toppers or chocolate lollipops. If none of these strike your interest, simple rattles, baby bottles or the traditional rubber ducky is always an option, making for fun decor and cute, comforting favors that bring back a wave of childhood memories.
Many baby shower themes come in a number of designs and colors are available in several different shades. You are sure to find baby shower table decorations that fit into your plans and budget, letting you have the party exactly the way you want.
