Baby Shower Table Centerpieces

A baby shower is a cute affair that is hosted by the expecting woman's close friend or relative. Sometimes it is known from before if the baby would be a boy or a girl. Most times, the baby shower decorating ideas are based on whether its a baby boy or a baby girl. When this is not the case, the party can be themed and the decorations are done according to it. The baby shower table centerpieces can be designed creatively to enhance the party decorations.

Table Centerpieces for Baby Shower

If the guests are seated at separate tables, all the centerpieces on all the tables have to be decorated similarly. A great idea for baby shower table centerpiece would be to place a bunch of candies or cupcakes in the center.

Another idea for the centerpiece would be to place a teddy or many dolls in the middle. The teddy or doll can be holding balloons else, small balloons weighed down by a heavy bowl of candies will do to create a sweet centerpiece.

For the buffet table, usually the baby shower cake is kept in the center so there is no other decoration required there. Another option would be to ornament the center of the table with a huge single teddy or many plush toys stacked over each other. A castle with angels surrounding a baby doll will be another idea for baby shower centerpiece.

A doll house or a Barbie doll theme can be set up if it is a baby girl shower. If it is a baby girl shower party, then pink can form the base for the centerpiece. Petals of baby pink roses surrounding a baby pink-colored, baby-shaped candle placed at the center with glitter for additional effect would make a nice centerpiece for a baby girl shower party.

Miniature cars and bikes will do good for a baby boy shower centerpiece. Like pink is for gals, blue color represents guys and hence, a blue colored centerpiece can be made for a baby boy shower party.

The gifts brought by the guests can be placed at the center arranged in an artistic manner. Otherwise, creative organization of baby care products such as baby lotion, baby powder, baby shampoo, etc. can also form a useful centerpiece for the to-be-parents. A baby diaper with some quote written over it or simply with the words, 'It's a boy!!!' or 'It's a girl!!!' will inform the guests whether a baby boy or a baby girl is expected. A movable toy wagon with a carrier can be used as a centerpiece with the additional motive of holding the tableware in its carriage. Cup cakes can also be placed on decorative stands of the wagon carriages for the guests.

If the to-be-parents are expecting twins then implementing the mirror image idea for centerpieces works just fine. On a base of flower petals erect a small transparent glass piece and place two identical looking baby dolls on either sides, shown staring at each other through the glass. Or a very simple idea to represent twins would be to place any two large-petaled flowers in a vase, if the twins are girls then pink flowers, if they are boys then blue or lavender and if it is a boy and a girl, one blue and one pink flower will make a decent centerpiece. Make sure to sprinkle glitter or spray water over the petals so that the centerpiece looks fresh.

Use ribbons, glitters and flowers in varying combination to make beautiful baby shower table centerpieces. Using flowers from your own garden and making a creative flower arrangement can be a unique idea for inexpensive centerpieces.
