We've rounded up the best baby shower ideas that are creative and positively adorable for the mom-to-be in your life. These ideas will not only shower the future mom in gifts aplenty, but will also keep guests entertained with fun, fresh ideas.
These decorations, treats, and favors pair perfectly with baby shower games too. Guests will love posing for photos in front of the DIY floral wall and getting busy with the onesie decoration station. Brighten up your tables with beautiful flower arrangements and centerpieces. Maybe some of the decorations can even be included in the baby room decor, such as the wall of wishes for the baby or the colorful bunting on the walls.
In addition to appetizers and savory snacks for guests munch on, bake up some baby shower-themed cake recipes and cupcakes. There are also creative ways to serve drinks, like the "mom-osa" station where you can break out your best mimosa recipes (and non-alcoholic recipes for the mama). Whether the shower is for your sister, best friend, sister-in-law, or any other important woman in your life, you'll definitely throw an unforgettable party with this list of best baby shower ideas.

Make a Candy Bar
As either self-serve favors or a candy bar, elevate bulk candy by decanting it in handsome jars wearing old-school labels. Download our PDF of six different labels, including this one, here. Print onto card stock and cut out the labels. Then use an X-Acto knife to create slits, as shown, and slide a ribbon through the slits for hanging.

Make Creative Centerpieces
Give cake stands get a new purpose by placing colored floral domes on them. To make this centerpiece, cut the bottom of a foam ball, so it sits flat. Then soak it in water for 30 minutes before inserting the flowers.

Make Your Own Vases
Floral foam and glass marbles aren't the only ways to hold flowers aloft. Instead, a bunch of vintage milk bottles gives this arrangement—featured in Decorating with Flowers by Paula Pryke—its structure. Simply line up nine same-size vessels in three rows of three. Then wrap gardener's twine around the grouping twice and tie the ends. Finish the blooming display by placing two to three stems in each container.
Smart idea: Separate the milk bottles and flowers afterwards to give to your guests as party favors.
