Take into consideration where the baby shower is going to be. If it will be at someone's home, consider the layout of the room or house to determine where you can decorate with balloons. Options include tying the balloons to chairs or letting the balloons float freely along the ceiling during the festivities. For extra effect, tie light-weight rattles and pacifiers to the ends of the ribbons of free-floating balloons. If the shower is being held at a restaurant, you may want to consider keeping the balloons more tame, with just a few tied to the guest of honor's chair.

Consider the colors with which you want to decorate for the baby shower. If you know the gender of the baby, you can choose traditional baby blue balloons for boys and soft pink for girls. If the gender is unknown, consider other pastel colors like yellow, green or even purple. If you are having a baby shower with a non-traditional crowd, consider more vibrant and lively colors like electric blue or hot pink balloons.

If you are feeling super crafty, consider creating balloon animals like caterpillars, lambs or frogs. You don't need to be a professional clown in order to make balloon animals. Just imagine the animal or object you want to create, and use clear heavy-duty double-sided tape to piece together different-sized balloons to create the animal in mind. Use thick ribbons, colored markers and other craft supplies to make your creations come alive.
