Baby Shower Corsages
There are numerous baby decorations, table centerpieces and Baby Shower supplies you can use for decorating a Baby Shower event. With so many Baby Shower Accessories to choose from, you can create any theme, color scheme or presentation for your shower event imaginable.
Balloons
One of the most common decorations is balloons. You can tie a balloon with pink or blue ribbon on each of the chairs of the reception table or use just one in the center of the table. You can find balloons in a variety shapes, sizes and colors. Popular styles are the It’s A Boy in blue or the It’s a Girl in pink in the latex style of balloons. They also come with ponies, baby feet, Noah’s Ark and many nursery rhyme characters which would reflect on your baby shower event. Maybe you’re having a Prince or Princess themed baby shower; there are balloons that are shaped as a princess or prince crown.
Another idea using balloons as baby accessories are pre made gifts which you have a mini balloon, maybe some coordinated candy inside a ceramic such as a baby bootie, choo choo train, or even a ABC block container . These can also be used as your table centerpieces, then, draw names at the end of your baby shower and give them away as a favor. The container can be used after to plant flowers or greenery for the baby’s room.
Party Streamers
Another baby accessory used for showers is streamers. These have been used for many years for just about any event and are still popular today for decorating and a traditional decoration. You should color coordinated them with your theme, or another idea is to use a couple of colors and twist them together such as pink and purple or blue and yellow. You can also use cutouts of baby bottles, pacifiers, diapers or even themed such as yellow rubber ducks across the wall or the reception hall.
Party Supplies
Don’t forget about the Baby Shower Supplies like the paper plates, napkins and tableware. You can go to your local party store and find all of these accessories to match your shower theme and colors. You can find the Baby Shower Party supplies all in a kit containing the accessories needed so you won’t have to hunt down all the individual Baby Shower Items.
The Baby Shower Kits contain the paper plates for the dinner and the dessert, paper cups, napkins, tableware, balloons, streamers and even the table centerpiece with enough supplies for party’s up to 16 and 32 guests. With so many cute designs and baby themes, they will serve as decorations as well as for your shower supplies.
Candle Favors
Here’s a unique idea, use baby food jars and put votive candles inside, then tie a ribbon with a bow on each and place them around the shower hall for decorations. Or, paint the baby jars in the color or colors that will match your shower. Instead of putting a candle inside the jar, put candy in them instead. Candles are often used for decorations at Baby Showers and even for baby favors for the guests. You can find candle favors in many styles and colors which will match shower decorations. There’s candles in shapes of lolly pops, baby bottles, pinwheels, teddy bear rocking horses and even themes such as Bun in the Oven.
Unique Shower Decorations
Hang an umbrella from the ceiling underneath a shower table. Fill it with balloons and tie curly ribbon to dangle down as small streamers or tie small favors to hang down such as baby pacifiers, bottles or even baby toys and rattles will work also. Diaper cakes are a nice compliment to a baby shower as a table centerpiece. Stuff them with baby accessories which the mom will be able to use after the baby is born. Fill with baby lotions and shampoos, baby oil, baby bottles, pacifiers, rattles or any baby essential you can think of.
Of course with the baby diaper cake, the mom to be will have extra diapers. Baby sock bouquets is another decoration idea that you can easily make and use as decorations for each table and you can even make a baby sock corsage for the mom to wear. After the shower, now the mom will have socks for the new baby as well.

Where can I find a Baby Shower Corsage?
I want to know where I can find a Baby Shower Corsage or places that i can find things / ideas to make one myself.
One reader wrote on how to do a Baby Shower Corsage.
And below it you will also find how to make a corsage from baby socks.
Buy a pacifier, two feeding spoons, a teething ring with rubber beads on a string, a two-foot one-inch ribbon (color of your choosing), a medium-sized rattle and four-to-six pairs of baby socks.
Put the teething ring through the pacifier ring, so that the teething ring is half way through ring of the pacifier. Separate the socks and fold before putting on the corsage. Fold each sock from the top down to the toe. Fold the fold down to meet the first fold. Take the two folds and fold them up to meet the top edge of the fold at the top (away from the toe). It should look like a budding flower. With crafting wire, attach all the things at random to the teething ring, spacing the socks evenly.
Make a corsage for the mommy-to-be to wear at the
baby shower or make a bouquet of flowers for the nursery. Materials Needed: Aleene’s Shrink-it (Opake)

Preheat oven to 275′ to 300′. Lightly sprinkle Baking Board with baby powder. Place shape on board and place in oven. Bake. Remove when Shrink-it is completely flat. If shape starts to shrink immediately upon being placed in oven, temperature is too hot.
Use Reverse Collage glue to glue tissue paper to back of shape. Let dry. Tear excess tissue from edges.
For rose, start at toe of sock and roll to within 2″ of cuff edge. Fold cuff around rolled portion to form rose.
For calyx, cut a 4″ length of lace and glue around base of flower.
