Fun baby decorating ideas for your Baby shower Essex party


You can create adorable ambience for your baby shower without using common balloons and streamers, there are several user friendly decorations that require little or no experience and are also inexpensive to get for your baby shower Essex party.

 • Diaper nappy cakes. These are some of the easiest ways of showing a mother-to-be that you know what she deserves. You should be creative with diaper nappy cakes, add some decorative receiving blankets, bibs, sippy cups, and bottles.

• Make designs of cocktail napkin flowers. Get 2 different colours of regular sized napkins, and add a smaller cocktail for the inner accent colour- the accent colour can be blue or pink – a friendly colour. The cocktail napkins should be placed at the center and on top of the plain napkins, the whole thing should make into the shape of a fan, and the edges should be scalloped with a floral wire, while folded. Before you unfold the design, you need to twist the center and fan out the napkins to make the decoration look like a bow-tie. Peel the layers of napkin gently from the top of the cocktail napkin towards the center, and your final product will be a beautiful flower that doesn’t show that it is made up of napkins.

• The beautiful Baby sock Bouquet. This is a wonderful arrangement of floral; you only need floral wire and tape to complete this design. Place some fake greenery on the vase of the floral to make a punch to complete this wonderful baby shower party decoration.

Baby shower wreath. This is another wonderful baby shower Essex party decoration a mother-to-be will appreciate. To create these decorations, the wire hangar and rubber band diapers around the hangars should be unfolded first, you can then use a floral wire to twist and tie the components of the decoration- these include; the rattles, burp cloths, and binkies. This is one decoration the mother-to-be will appreciate

• Tissue paper flowers. These decorations are more delicate but look similar to cocktail napkin flowers. They hang perfectly well around tables and some other parts of the house. They are classy and not expensive.

•Babies toys themes; stuffed animals, teeters, and rattles can be great, don’t choose toys that can injure them easily.


• Have a baby-que.
  One of the ways you can create more fun at a baby shower party is to bring together family members, couples and have a cook-out- otherwise known as baby-que. Cook some hot-dogs or Hamburgers while you all are listening to your favourite tunes.
