How to use coordinating pieces to decorate for a baby shower. Ideas to make it look good. Ideas to save money.

If you are hosting a baby shower, one of the nicest ways to make it pretty, elegant and memorable is to have a baby shower theme to decorate with. When all of the features of the shower are tied together, everything looks beautiful and put together. Of course, budget will play a role in deciding what the theme will be and how much it can be carried through to each element. The number of guests is also a determining factor. With a small baby shower, for example, you may be able to buy lovely pink and blue linen napkins, but if you have a big guest list, you will have to go for paper.

How much do you, as the hostess of the shower, want to decorate for the shower? This is not an easy question to answer. The theme of the party may determine how many coordinating items you want. For instance, if you want little baby bottles as favors and on napkins, that may look too busy if you carry it over to tablecloths and centerpieces. You may want to incorporate something coordinating but simpler, such as solid color tablecloths. Where you hold the shower may also dictate how much you decorate. Bright curtains in the restaurant may not look right with a pastel theme and you may want to complement them with bright primary colors. You either have to pick the restaurant and work around their scheme, or decide on your baby shower theme and shop around for the restaurant.

Wherever you hold the shower, there are a few universal ideas that you can use for a baby shower. Make a balloon bouquet in the colors of your baby shower theme at the entrance so the guests know where the action is. You could also make or rent a sign to put at the entrance. Again, the kind would depend on the theme, but a stork is unmistakable for a baby shower.

One of the biggest cost items for a baby shower, outside of food, are the paper goods. The kind of food and drinks you will be serving must be considered. It is very pretty to have all of the plates, napkins, coffee cups and utensils theme- and color- coordinated. If you are serving hot foods, you will have to have heavy plates, but you can use lightweight for the cake. If you serve wine, you may want to consider stem glasses instead of plastic cups. Tablecloths, streamers,banners and favors can all be made or purchased to match the theme of the shower to make it pretty and festive.

You can put a centerpiece at each table at the shower, but to save money, how about using the cake as the center piece? Fresh flowers, place cards and candles will add a sophisticated touch, but that may depend upon the budget of the shower.

Plenty of advanced planning will make decorating for the baby shower easier, even though you may not be able to decorate until the day before or the day of the shower. If you plan and buy in advance, you may be able to watch for items to go on sale. Balloons, of course, will have to be bought the day of the shower, but the more you do in advance, the smoother everything will go.
