Baby shower decorations are always fun because you have all things baby as a source of inspiration. From nursery rhymes to baby animals to nautical themes, there is a boatload (nautical pun intended) of ideas to inspire and potentially overwhelm you. Whether you want to follow a theme or not, we’ve gathered some great decoration ideas to help you get organized.
1. For the Mommy to BEE
Bee themed showers are a popular trend right now and they are sweet as can bee! Start with these adorable DIY bee balloons (or if you’re pressed for time, order some here). Add in some of these great hexagon shelves to your food table. Use some baby’s breath, yellow and white flowers on shelves and on tables to fill in. Less is more here. Finally, cap it all off with an insta worthy photo booth. Get a cute backdrop like this, or gather up your old magazines to make one like this. Have some fun props ready for photos like this cute bee antenna or these fun bee themed props.
2. Little Cutie Theme
Based on a Californian variety of tangerine, a Little Cutie theme embraces all things orange and green. Start by stringing these cutie balloon garlands all around. All you need is some string, balloons and leaves (artificial or real, dealers’ choice). Fill large mason jars, glass cylinders or decanters full of tangerines to spruce up your food table. Or get these little cutie centrepieces to add those bright pops of orange. Create a stunning balloon garland by tying tangerine-coloured balloons together on a string. Add in some greenery for the leaves. Or skip the DIY and opt for a photo booth like this tangerine dream. Now you’ve got a darling photo booth moment.
3. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
For an ethereal, whimsical vibe, string twinkle lights overlaid with moon and star garlands overhead and behind your food table. Use cloud decorations to place throughout the party space. For a show-stopping photo booth, create this airy cloud backdrop. Use a hot glue gun to attach cotton batting to paper lanterns. Suspend from the ceiling at different heights for a 3-dimensional look. Affix some moons and stars to the clouds for added sparkle
Whether you are following a theme, a colour story or just picking things you think are cute, the key to creating an atmosphere with baby shower decorations is simple. Pick something tasteful to highlight the party area like balloons, garlands or streamers. Make an impactful presentation on your food table. Finish off with a place for people to take pictures and share their memories. The specifics are where you have fun and get creative!
