- Floating plastic ducks, candles or flowers in basins of water can make an adorable and cheap table centerpiece for a baby shower. Consider tinting the water blue with food dye for an easy twist. The plastic ducks can also be used for party favors or incorporated into party games. Consider marking the bottom of one or two ducks with waterproof marker for a door prize drawing. Have each guest select a duck, with whomever picks the marked duck winning a fun prize.
- Contact baby shower attendees well in advance of the event and ask them to each submit a baby photo. Print or copy the baby pictures on photo paper, and place in inexpensive frames. Place several of the framed baby photos in the center of each table at the shower. This centerpiece can be incorporated into a fun shower game, by numbering each frame and asking guests to try and guess who each baby picture belongs to.
- Arrange platters of fruits or desserts to serve as a delicious and interactive centerpiece for guests at the baby shower. Edible fruit centerpieces can be easily and cheaply created with a large foam ball or cone. Simply stick small pieces of fruit on the end of a toothpick, and slide the other end of the toothpick into the foam until covered with fruit. Plain sugar cookies or cupcakes can also make a edible centerpiece. Arrange the desserts among varied bowls of frosting, and allow guests to decorate their own.
- Filling baby bottles with fun items can make an simple and thematic centerpiece or place holder for baby showers. Consider utilizing small candies for a colorful and edible filling for guests. Baby bottles can also make excellent party favors for shower attendees. Consider filling the bottles with either homemade or purchased bath salts for a souvenir of the baby shower. Bottles can also be filled with homemade baking mixes for another delicious party favor option.
