Baby showers are light and
festive events meant to celebrate the birth of a baby boy or girl. As the party
organizer, your choice of decorations should definitely stick with the spirit
of the occasion. If you have never prepared baby shower decorations before, no
need to worry. There are many resources available for you today, allowing you
to come up with great décor ideas in a jiffy.
One of the easiest ways to
find decorating ideas is to go online. The Internet has practically everything
you need to help you get started on your baby shower decorations. Many
reputable party suppliers and online stores offer pre-packaged items made
especially for baby showers, including decorations and party favors. Browsing a
number of other websites can give you helpful tips and suggestions for setting
up your baby shower. Some of the best places to look through are blogs,
parental advice sites and online communities geared especially for mothers. A
good number of people who run these sites already have firsthand experience in
either hosting or participating in baby showers. There are great chances that
some of them will provide you with just the inspiration you need.
When deciding on what baby
shower decorations to use, you can go for one of two choices. You can opt for
full party supply packages that can instantly provide you with all the
decorating essentials, sometimes with a few handy extras thrown in. If you are
more of the creative type, you can opt for the hands-on, DIY approach to
decorating. Whichever choice you make will depend greatly on factors like your
party budget and total preparation time.
An important reminder: as
with all things, baby shower decorations work best in moderation. In short,
resist the urge to go over the top with the décor. The decorations must not be
so overpowering that they draw attention away from the guest of honor, namely,
the expectant mother and her future child. Even if you have a high-concept
party idea or theme in mind, it is best to choose simple decorations. Not only are
simple decorations more aesthetically pleasing, they also take less time in the
overall setup. This makes the decorating process even less of a burden for you,
the baby shower host.
If you have absolutely no
clue what approach to take, you can play it safe and choose decorations with a
basic single-color motif. Picking out streamers, balloons, tableware,
centerpieces and other decorations at your nearby party supplier will become
less of a hassle when you know exactly what you are looking for. Things can
even become a walk in the park if the expectant mother has clued you in on the
gender of her child: you can simply buy blue decorations for a boy or pink
decorations for a girl. For a more subdued and elegant touch, you can't go
wrong with a classic all-white scheme. If you prefer to veer away from
conventions, however, you can choose decorations in more playful colors like
red, green, yellow or purple.
