Decorating for the Shower

Diaper Cake
Baby Shower Supplies

Keep it practical when you are decorating for this type of a shower. It is a wonderful idea to use decorations that mom can actually take home with her and use them for the baby.

Sure, you can use some balloons, streamers and fun novelty diaper items too, but try to go with useful options also.

Consider decorations that include bottles, baby toys, baby wash clothes, and more. Then give them to mom at the end of a shower.

Another great idea for decorating is to take a diaper pail and use it to hold flowers. Of course, a diaper cake will be a decoration as well. This is a wonderful gift that will look incredible as a decoration at the shower as well, and they are very easy to make yourself.

Diaper Cake Shower Food Ideas

For a Diaper Cake and Essentials baby shower, you should probably keep the food pretty simple. Consider tasty fruit punches and finger foods. Chicken salad is a great option for small finger sandwiches.

For the dessert, a beautiful diaper chocolate cake makes a great option that will tempt everyone's taste buds.

Fun Baby Shower Diaper Games

Of course, a baby shower can't go without some great activities and games. Here are a few great ideas that you can use.

Diaper the Baby Doll

This is a fun game and is sure to bring lots of laughs. You need some diapers and a baby doll.

Have everyone diaper the baby doll as fast as they can. Time everyone. See who can do the best job in the least amount of time.

Guess the Diapers

When you make the diaper cake for the shower, count the diapers that you use.

As everyone comes into the shower, have them write down on a small piece of paper their name and how many diapers they think are in the cake.

Collect the slips of paper. Whoever gets the closest to the truth wins.

Gift and Favor Ideas for the Shower

When it comes to the gifts, make sure that you stick to the theme - essentials.

Great gift ideas include diapers, diaper bags, wipes, bottles, essential clothing items, creams, powder, soaps, bathtub, baby washcloths and towels, and more.

Even a gift card can make a great idea if you think mom may want to choose some of the items herself.
