If you’re organizing a baby shower, you have lots od details to think about and plan for in advance. Baby shower centerpieces can be made to look attractive and created at a low price, especially if you use your creative talents.

Baby Shower Centerpieces – Edible

– Candy Topiaries: These can be made with styrofoam blocks and balls, with either plain or attractively decorated flower pots, cinnamon sticks, candy corn or other not too hard candies, and a glue gun.

– The Watermelon Buggy: If you’re feeling extra creative, carve a watermelon into the shape of a baby buggy or carriage, which actually isn’t as difficult as it first looks, and then fill with all sorts of delicious fruits such as grapes, melon balls, and cherries. Use orange slices with cherries in the center for the “hubcaps” and place lettuce underneath as a garnish.

Baby Shower Centerpieces – Non Edible

– Baskets: There are many styles and designs of baskets you can use for centerpieces, and these could be available in local discount stores. These could include items that are either geared toward the new mother, or for the guests to take home as gifts. Remember to be creative when it comes to choosing a “basket,” as just about any type of container can be used as such.

Some fillers for the basket could include bottles, toys, socks, pacifiers, teethers, lotions, and bath toys, or if the centerpieces are for the guests, add candles, aromatherapy items, coupons for book stores, spas, and hair salons, as well as bubble bath, books, nail polish, chocolates, and useful items for the kitchen.

Baby Sock Roses: You can use plain vases to hold your baby sock roses. Select artificial flowers that fit with your color theme, baby’s breath, wire and some pairs of baby socks in your chosen color. Oh, and don’t forget some greenery as a foil. Each sock should be tightly rolled, with thinner socks working best, by starting from the toe, working towards the opening, and finished by fastening with double sided tape.

You could play around with folding or rolling the socks, in a way that gets the best result for a “petal” appearance, then inserting the wire before wrapping the flower bottoms in green floral tape, prior to arranging in a vase.

– Diaper Cakes and Wreaths: Don’t dismiss diaper cakes and wreaths as old favorites that have been overdone, as both of these creations can be easily turned into one-of-a-kind masterpieces depending on the decorations you use to “ice” the cake or finish off the wreath. The idea could be used to make diaper cupcakes, also using either disposable or cloth diapers.

Other ideas could include displaying colored balloons, either on their own or with flowers, or with stuffed animals that look cute to babies. Any ordinary plush toys can be turned into one that would make a great baby shower centerpiece by adding a few embellishments such as diaper pins, baby bottles, bibs, and little blankets.

Cheap and plain flower pots can be decorated in your color choice and then stenciled with attractive designs, displays or even text. Instead of buying costly flowers from a florist, head to the supermarket the morning of the shower and purchase a few seasonal bouquets for a fraction of the price. The bouquets can then be broken down and added to the painted pots, or placed singularly in clear glass vases.

Once you have made your decisions on a baby shower centerpiece then you can think about getting organized and sending out those baby shower invites.
