Planning your baby shower decor should be fun and not too time-consuming. This means you need to consider some things that will effect your baby shower venue. Let me give you a rundown of helpful tips to help you save time and money when decorating your event’s venue.
Inside or Outside.
The first thing to consider is the date of your shower. If you plan to have it during the summer months, you may think that an outdoor venue could be perfect. But what if there is summer rain, how do you save the event?
An indoor event definitely has less risks. It is much better not having to worry about the weather, sudden mishaps, and even preserving your food from heat, rain, or insects. This also opens up a wider range of options for decorating since you can pretty much do anything if you are indoors.
Choose a Color Scheme.
In terms of color, girls traditionally have pink decor, while boys have blue. Parents who are not sure about the gender of their baby or would like to keep it a secret until the mom delivers, could otherwise go with neutral colors such as green or yellow.
Choose a Theme.
Once you’ve chosen your dominant color, it’s time to choose a theme.
This can be any kind of theme that you wish to use. You could choose an underwater theme, BBQ theme, cartoon character theme, sporty theme and so many more.
Coordinate your décor with the theme. Ensure that the invitations, keepsakes, cake and chairs are all consistently colored and themed.
Decorating
Decorations will make or break your baby shower and can cost you an arm and a leg. So keep the event simple and make DIY decorations instead. Some of the common element you will need to decorate are:
- Banners,
- Ceiling and window decorations,
- Tableware
- Centerpieces
- Decorative lanterns,
- Baby shower chair
- Food
- Cake
- Favors
Have a friend or neighbor help you out or even ask your spouse or partner for help!
You baby shower decor does not have to be extravagant. But there is nothing more special than décor designed and made by no one else but you!
As long as you are able to share this special day with your family and friends, then celebrating the arrival of your new family member will make your perfect event come true.
