Baby Shower Decorations Ramp Up the Fun Factor

Baby shower decorations can be as simple as balloons and streamers, or very elaborate depending upon your budget, shower theme, and your energy.

Before deciding upon decorations you need to have the budget, shower theme, and the location already decided upon. You will want to select baby shower decorations that go with your theme and shower colors. By knowing your location, you’ll be able to decide how much space you can devote to decorating. And of course, by using a budget, you won’t blow everything on decorations and not have enough for cake.

You can purchase baby shower decorations online or you can create your own. Or do a little of both. Below I have listed some cute ideas that you can pick and choose from like a smorgasbord.

For the most basic baby shower decorations the following are recommended. The basics are not expensive. You can add other décor to really personalize the shower. As you can see below, there really isn’t much you need in order to throw a great baby shower.

Basics for Baby Shower Decorations

Streamers

Crepe paper streamers are cheap and come in every color in the rainbow. Buy two colors that match your baby shower theme. If you only have one color, pick white for your second color. Put the two colors together and twist for a pretty effect. Now string the twisted paper across the center of ceiling, from corner to corner, letting the paper drape down from the ceiling about six inches. Do the same in the other two corners to create a huge X across the ceiling. If you want, you can pin a cute decoration where the X meets. You’ll probably need to use a push pin into the ceiling, especially if the decoration is not feather light as it will pull down the streamers.

You can drape the streamers anywhere that you think will look festive, such as on the staircase, on the cake table, gift table or hang it on the chandelier.

Balloons

Like streamers, balloons give you a lot of bang for your buck. And nothing says festive like balloons do. And like streamers, pick colors of balloons that match the colors of your baby shower. Tie two or three together and use them as part of the table centerpiece. Or tie them on the backs of chairs. You can also simply let them float from the ceiling.
