How to Make Cute Baby Shower Centerpieces

Display the mother-to-be's favorite flowers on the food table.

There is no shortage of cute ideas when it comes to table centerpieces for a baby shower. A simple arrangement of the mother-to-be's favorite flowers is always appropriate. Incorporate baby items into the decorations and guests will be oooo-ing and ahhh-ing throughout the party.

Instructions

1. Make a diaper cake, a multilayered display of disposable diapers fashioned to look like a cake. Search for ideas online, and incorporate the mom-to-be's favorite colors when choosing the ribbons and decorations. Place small baby toys and products atop the cake.

2. Fill a small galvanized washtub with blue raffia or curling ribbon, then "float" pink, blue or yellow rubber ducks in the "water." Add small toys, bottles and pacifiers around the ducks.

3. Make a pickle bouquet for the mom-to-be who is experiencing food cravings. Cover a large pickle jar with baby wrapping paper or ribbon. Stick pickles on skewers and place the skewers in the jar to make the bouquet.

4. Place an especially cute stuffed animal in the middle of the table. Wrap it in a blanket and add a pacifier, or display it in a large gift box.
