on a budget

This cute napkin flower is just a few pence. You can add a chenille stem and a pompom (both from the Dollar Store), then put just one or several of these in a vase. Learn how to make paper flowers here. |

Real flowers in a diaper vase are an eye-catcher for the table, too. Take an ordinary glas jar filled with just a bit of water. Place some rolled diapers around the jar and fix with a pink or blue ribbon. Place some flowers of your choice in the jar. If you like, choose flowers in pink like roses, carnations, gerberas, lilies or blue (iris, lobelias, forget-me-nots). |
Baby Block Centerpieces
Use oversized cardboard or wooden blocks to spell out the baby's name or cute phrases. These can be placed as centerpieces or used for various decor around the room.
"Baby" Blocks: This is one of the easiest baby shower decoration ideas and it is inexpensive, yet very effective and cute. All you need is 4 big, preferably square, empty carton boxes (for example diaper boxes), brown packing paper (alternatively pink or blue wrapping paper) and the letters 'B A B Y' (wooden letters, cut out cardboard letters, etc.)
If you want to create baby's name you need to adjust the number of boxes accordingly. The longer the name, the smaller the boxes should be.
Make it as plain as shown in the photo or as colorful as you want!

Homemade Diaper Snails
A plain diaper snail is a really cute idea for a baby shower and it makes a great centerpiece. You can craft your snail in pink for a girl's baby shower, in blue for a boy's baby shower or in orange/yellow in case the sex of the baby is not known yet.

Homemade Miniature Diaper Babies
Make some diaper babies and spread them on your baby shower table(s). You can just use single ones and place them on a diaper so it looks as if the baby was in its cot.
Other ideas:
- use a couple or more and place them in a flat decorated shoe box or in the lid
- place some babies on a cake board round and fold the top and bottom up so to make it look like a baby bed
- take a burp cloth and make a sleeping bag for one or more diaper babies
You can also put 2 or 4 babies back to back and fix them with a ribbon so they can stand on the table. And if you add some string you can hang them up and have them dangle from the ceiling.
If the party has a special theme, select the socks and washcloths accordingly or simply choose pastel baby colors to go in line with the rest of the decor.
You see, there are many ways on how to nicely decorate your party with the help of these cute mini diaper babies.

Balloon Art
Get creative with balloons! Consider balloon arches, balloon bouquets or balloon animals.
Cute are also balloons or balloon arrangements in the shape of baby bottles, rattles or pacifiers. Color-wise baby shower party balloons are available in a number of varieties. Just pink or blue, with polka dots, stars, baby hands, baby feet, pacifiers, 'baby', 'It's a girl', 'It's a boy', 'Welcome baby', etc. Balloons look the best when you use a hole bunch of them together. Depending on the baby shower theme you can also get balloons matching that theme.
Banners / Garlands
A banner or a garland are a very effective baby shower decoration, too. They can make a real statement! Choose design banners or signs with the baby's name, due date or a special message such as "Welcome baby", "It's a boy", "It's a girl", etc. Hang them as decorations or use them as a photo backdrop.
A baby clothesline is also a cute decoration. It not only serves as decor but also as a functional display for the parents-to-be. Hang a clothesline across the room and use clothespins to attach adorable clothes for the baby. This can be onesies, socks, burp cloths, etc. You can also ask the baby shower guest to bring gifts especially for this clothesline.
