You can celebrate your undying love with hearts decorations. For example, you can have a "Hearts Tree." This is similar to a miniature Christmas tree, except that you would decorate it with heart cut-outs instead of tinsel. An added twist is to ask each guest to write something to the bride or groom on one of the hearts. You can also make garlands out of hearts that are cut from construction paper. Once completed, the garlands can be hung on a mantel or from a ceiling.
Old-Fashioned

If the blissful couple are country folks at heart, you can decorate with a variety items that give the shower an old-fashioned feel. You can use old canning jars for centerpieces, by adding water and flowers, or votive candles. The jars can sit atop a checkered table cloth. You can make gingerbread boys and girls for use as placeholders, by writing each guest's name on a gingerbread person in frosting.

You can create a fancy atmosphere on a tight budget. For centerpieces, find an ornate glass container for each table. These can be borrowed items like cake plates or flower pots, or you can purchase several containers if you want them to be uniform. Put floral foam in the bottom of each container and arrange fresh fruit, either pinned or hot glued to the foam, in a nice arrangement.
Crafty

If you want the shower to reflect the creative spirit of the new couple, you can use homemade craft decorations to create the required atmosphere. You can create craft baskets filled with crafting supplies as centerpieces. Fill a wicker basket with tissue papers or linens that reflect the bride's colors and then insert craft supplies. You can use the supplies later in the party to make the party favors.
