It's all about the theme, and this is a great one. Full of surprises that you can actually do, this Under The Sea-themed baby shower will delight all of your guests, especially the mom-to-be.
If you have some netting, you can tack it to a wall and fill it with balloons, draping some across the table. A great idea to make your table part of the decor is to put a colored tablecloth on the table, then a different colored tablecloth on top of the first colored tablecloth, which has been cut with a wave pattern at the bottom. Make sure to have the bottom layer still showing. You can repeat this method to get in all of the colors in your scheme.
On the table, decorate with shells, a treasure chest (even a glass jewelry box open with a string of pearls and a couple of shells will do the trick), and sea-inspired floral arrangements and centerpieces.
One nice touch is to mix Elmer’s glue with a couple of drops of food coloring (we recommend green, purple, and blue) and then paint it onto a glass item, like a candleholder or a hurricane glass. This will create a sea glass effect and make the piece a nice backdrop for the food or gift table.
Find a jug and put out brown paper for people to put a message in a bottle, a.k.a. advice for the new mom and dad. After they’ve written their advice, have them roll, then tie, the brown paper with some twine and put it in the jug.
Even the food can be part of the effect, and it's easy to do, too. Set out pretzel sticks and label it driftwood. Cut out fruit in star shapes and say it's starfish. Put out some carrots and call it crab legs. To really dazzle, whip up some shell-shaped macarons filled with vanilla icing. Put out a jar labeled dinglehoppers and fill it with forks and you're good to serve! To quench guests' thirst, make some Sea Water with 7 Up, pineapple juice, and food coloring.
Everyone wants pics of the new mommy and what better way to do it than with a DIY backdrop? Dip coffee filters in a turquoise colored paint and string them together. You'll need about 20 strands across. Hang them from the ceiling or tie it to a backdrop stand. An alternative is to take three different colored tablecloths (lavender, blue, and turquoise would be great) and cut them into strips, braiding them at the top, with about a foot hanging down. Let the rest hang. Just add props!
Tiny jars with little bath salts make the perfect party favor, as do mini bath bombs or a candle with a shell or corral attached.
This shower is all about the details and you can do it small with great effect, or really pull out all the stops in this under the sea adventure. Whichever way you go, it's sure to please.
Here are three (pretty simple) ideas for making a baby shower stand out.
Sprinkle the new baby and parent-to-be with love in a baby shower that is, quite literally, all sprinkles. Start at the top. Cut out dots of varying sizes and colors and tape or glue them to a string. Tape several of these to the ceiling for a great effect. Liberally place confetti on the tables to further the theme. Make pretzel sticks, dip them in white chocolate and then roll them around in sprinkles. Use straws with dots (and anything else you can find with dots). Have a cupcake bar and lay out chocolate, caramel, berries, and, you got it, sprinkles. Continue reading "3 Fun Baby Shower Ideas" »

Newborn Spring
Baby animals couldn't be cuter and they are extra fitting as the springtime is so full of new life. To incorporate adorable animals into your shower, create a garland of furry friends by stringing up stuffed animals that match your theme colors. Also, use white handkerchiefs to create diapers for each animal and the entire room will be surrounded by cuteness.
For your baby shower cake, your local bakery will have tons of options for a wide-eyed baby animal dessert, like the fun fondant creatures atop cupcakes in the photo below. We adore these egg-shaped scented soaps that come in their own little nest – perfect baby shower favors!
Sweet Taste of Spring
Nothing is sweeter than the smell of spring but candy comes close! Have fun choosing happy candy colors to decorate with. The best part is this decor can double as a snack. Create a tablescape that really pops by pouring loose candies into clear jars and vases of all different sizes. Also, take small colorful lollipops in clear cellophane wrappers and tape them a few inches apart on a long piece of string for an easy garland. Willy Wonka would be proud.

Bundle up baby, it's winter! If you're planning a baby shower during these winter months, why not find a great theme that plays off the season? There are definitely adorable details that you can add to your baby shower during these colder months. Wedding and Party Network has a great baby shower theme that will keep everyone warm during the shower.
For baby shower decorations, think absolutely adorable and usability. The word bundle can be used in many ways. Bundle up because it's cold outside or bundle of joy are both phrases for winter and a baby. Instead of a diaper cake, make a blanket cake with a topper that says Bundle of Joy.
Lay out baby booties so they'll have something to wear during the cooler months, but also serves as shower decor. You can also hang socks from clothes lines up around your venue, baby coats, or onesies. Have framed photos of the parents, or if they've taken any pregnancy photos, set those out. Just remember find great baby items that relate to colder weather and you'll have your decorations. Add a few accents like banners or photos and you'll have an adorable baby shower.
Also, don't forget the mom-to-be and her precious baby warm wishes from a wishing tree. Have a beautiful tree with tags for guests to write warm wishes and to hang on the tree. The family will enjoy this and it can be placed in the baby's room as well.
When planning for a winter baby shower, make sure to find inspiration from what is around you. The cooler weather can definitely be an integrate part of a baby shower. Everyone will love all the lovely details.
