Baby Shower Ideas

by Erinn

Baby showers are fun to go to but I love planning them too. There are so many cute things out there these days to decorate, to serve and to give away for showers. Plus, who can resist watching a mother to be open itty bitty baby clothes and accessories? It makes my ovaries twitch just thinking about it!

Check out weddingFAVORites.com for all of your shower needs. They sell items mostly for bridal showers but some can be used for a baby shower. For instance is someone having a winter baby? Try these winter mittens as favors, fill them with candy or tea bags. They do have some baby shower items, particularly very cute favors, like these egg timers or these hand creams.

Buy Jellybellys for favors or to make necklaces for the “forbidden word” game. String jellybeans onto thread to make a necklace for every guest. When the guests arrive explain the rules everyone wears their necklace, if you hear someone say the “forbidden word” usually “baby” or the parents to be names, you take their necklace. The person with the most necklaces at the end of the party wins a prize. You can also use candy necklaces for this.

What about making or buying cupcakes for favors or dessert? You can buy these cute and affordable flags for the top of the cupcakes.

Instead of typical pink or blue decorations what about using primary colors or instead of cute baby animals as a theme what about polka dots or stripes in cute color combinations. Use the mother-to-be’s personality to set the tone of the shower and she will be thrilled.
Yuo can always find more crafty ideas here.

    I just hosted an EcoFriendly Baby Shower for my friend and i ordered a centerpiece from http://www.GrowInStyle.com. The 100% organic ecofriendly diaper cake was the hit of the party! It was the most unique and creative gifts the mom to be has ever recieved, and it looked beautiful as a decoration! It contained a bunch of useful things the mom will get to use on her baby, including a blanket, recieveing blanket, onesies, burp cloths, dipaer cream , 2 natural teethers, sophie the giraffe and chan pie gnon teether as well as the all natural Natursutten pacifier- the coolest pacifier ever! the cake was very cheap and of the best quality that i came across.. the mom absolutely loved it! I highly recommend it to anyone considering an ecofriendly baby shower gift.
