1. Choose a Color Scheme
To begin with, decide on a color scheme for the table decoration. Baby pink, blue, yellow, or lavender are popular choices, as are pastel shades of green and grey. You can use two or three main colors as the base of your decoration and add details in the same hue or complementary colors. Make sure to check whether parents are looking for a specific theme or color choice for the celebration.
2. Set The Table
Before beginning, carefully select the table you will use to adorn. Consider the size and shape of the table and what other necessities you need such as table cloths, utensils, napkins, and plates. If the party is for many people, you’ll need a table that’s roomy enough for all to contribute. For instance, if it’s for a sit-down brunch-style, a long table is ideal, so each guest has a to sit.
3. Decorate with a Centerpiece
For a baby shower, centerpiece decorations are crucial. It’s a centerpiece that holds the representation of the whole celebration. Whether you choose tall vases with freshly picked blooms or a cute baby-themed centerpiece such as a stork, teddy, or bunny, there are endless ideas to choose from.
4. Party Favors and Sweet Treats
A baby shower table is never complete without an array of edible treats for your guests to enjoy. You can create candy bouquets and cupcakes, or ask guests to contribute to the table with their favorite desserts. Remember to choose an appropriate, baby-themed cupcake tower, cake platter, or candy dish. Party favors are a lovely touch as well! They can help partygoers to remember the event long after it’s passed. Inexpensive trinkets such as soaps shaped like baby animals, bookmarks, or miniature stuffed animals work great as party favors.
5. Don’t Forget the Balloons
Balloons make any party more festive, and they’re perfect for a baby shower or sprinkle. Choose balloons in your color scheme, or go for fun baby-themed balloons. You can hang them at the entrance of the party location or all over the table itself! For the table, adding a beautiful balloon arch made with baby-blue or pink balloons at the backdrop can be so heavenly for photos later.
The Bottom Line
The arrival of a new baby is a momentous occasion that deserves a celebration! With these simple tips, you can be sure that the table decoration will be just as exciting and memorable as the baby itself. From color schemes and centerpieces to party favors and sweet treats, there’s no shortage of creativity when it comes to baby shower decorations. Happy decorating!
