Inspiration for baby showers is something I’ve been meaning to add to the blog for months now and I can’t believe I am only now getting to it! Today in our first shower post I’ve picked some fabulous ideas filled with a lot of handmade love.
This beautiful handmade name bunting is perfect to adorn the walls as shower decor but will also translate easily to nursery decor once the shower is finished. Find it here on etsy.
Dress up any bottled beverage you’re serving with handmade diaper pin drink covers. Simply cut strips of fabric long enough to fit around the bottles and secure with a diaper pin. Photos and idea seen here.
For a unique guest book, I love this wooden box from Cut The Cake Designs. Guests can include advice and wishes plus name suggestions and guesses for birth date, height, and weight. Cute for decor or a shower gift, try this cupcake recieving blanket.
Even if you’re not incredibly crafty, this cake topper is super easy. All you need are two small wooden dowels, string, colorful paper cut-outs of clothes, and some mini-clothespins, and a few buttons (find all of these supplies at most craft stores).
Want a gift idea that will cover all your bases? Put together your own ‘basket of wisdom’ or ‘new mom survival kit’ filled with all kinds of goodies and essentials for baby. Photo and idea from Martha Stewart.com.
One last idea for multi-use decor… attach baby clothes to a string using diaper pins or clothespins to adorn the walls at the shower. Afterwards, the mama-to-be can take them home and put them to good use once baby arrives! Although onesies and bodysuits are a sure bet, try adding some sweet little vintage outfits for a unique touch. Photo: organic bodysuits from Twig & Clover.
Coming later this week: our first ‘Real Rooms’ post, nursery inspiration, and a new edition of ‘styling the bump’.
