Balloons make perfect baby shower decorations

Balloons mean parties! Here's how you can use them to decorate baby showers.

Tie up a bunch of helium balloons. Always use an odd number for decorations. Use infant items as anchors for balloons. Like booties, plush toys, feeding bottles filled with water, packs of lotions, soaps, etc.

It's a good idea to place balloons on each table. Create color spots at each table.

Here's another useful idea - decorate the gifts table with balloons. Use several balloon bunches to give it a special look at baby showers. If you have large gifts like strollers, tie balloon bunches to them as well.

Transform mommy-to-be's chair into a 'throne' by tying balloon bunches to it. Use streamers on the chair as well. She should get the idea that she's royalty - after all, it's her party!

While using balloons as baby shower decorations, take care to position them about 7 feet above the ground. The idea is to ensure that vision is not obstructed.

Here's a money saver idea. When buying balloons and other supplies, try your local dollar store. They'll usually have many items cheaper than most party stores.

Tulle is a wonderful shower decoration idea

Get tulle at a fabric store or clearance sale. Take small white Christmas lights and run them through the tulle. Bunch up the tulle and place it on a table at the baby shower. It'll look like a lovely snowy white mountain with diffuse light coming thru - this is a perfect shower decoration idea!

You can also hang tulle around the room like a swag valance. Wrap small lights around it and hang baby items like bottles, etc from it. This is another wonderful decoration idea that's just right for baby showers.
