DIY Baby Shower Decorations

Here are a few more deocrating ideas for your baby shower.    

Ms. E created beautiful center pieces using dollar store flower pots, fresh Gyp flowers (Gypsophila) dyed green and blue, and a little greenery.  Two larger flower arrangements were made for the Mommy-to-be's table and the food buffet table.  We picked up the flowers the morning of the baby shower from the flower district.

"It's A Boy" styrofoam letters were painted baby blue and glitter was added to the the comma for a little extra pizazz!

Below "are a few photos" from the baby shower: 

My Niece, Ms. E, made this diaper train
and diaper baby! Diaper boxes were
used for the body of the train, notice
 the baby food jars for the wheels :)

So cute and creative!

  

Gifts for guests. Gift basket was wrapped
in tulle for a refreshing change from celeophane.

Gag gifts wrapped beautifully by Ms N.
"You do not want what's inside these boxes" :)

The shower was a beautiful success.  The Mommy-to-be and her Mother-in-law planned and made purchases for the baby shower early.  This helps financially when you're hosting an event.

*  Cheese, nuts and fruit trays were purchased from the local supermarket. 

*  Fresh, handmade to order taco bar.

*  Sangria only was served.  No open bar.

*  Family members made chocolate covered strawberries and fruit trays.

*  Family member's, Ms. N, wrapped the gifts and Ms. E made the flower 

    arrangements.     

*  Great Grandmother, Ms. O, made the white tablecloths.

*  Tent, chairs and tables were rented.

*  Cupcakes were served instead of cake.

*  Mr. D made sure the backyard was ready.

I hope these pictures and information are an inspiration to you when planning your baby shower.  Have a great weekend and... be kind!
