Unique Baby Shower Ideas - Baby Showers at Work!
I have to be honest, I'm never Super excited to get that invitation to a baby shower in the mail. I absolutely ordinarily have a lot more fun than I anticipate having, although I still try to avoid those baby-shower games whenever I can. The exception, of course, is the "baby shower at work". Because of policy anything would rather eat cake and gossip and talk about new babies than absolutely work!
The qoute with those work baby showers is that it's tough to throw them, in the seminar room or some set-aside meeting space, and have them look any distinct or more extra than a boring seminar room. Luckily, there's some decorating ideas that are not only cute and stylish, but practical!
One of the best ones is a diaper cake centerpiece. These look like tiered cakes, complete with stuffed animal decorations-but are made of itty-bitty, exquisite for new baby, diapers that mom can use! Baby diaper cakes have absolutely been colse to for a while, but they are getting much cuter and more stylish and you can get them, reasonably priced, with lots of cute add-ons that make them the exquisite for the focal point of the party. If you know boy or girl, you can choose the "sex" of your diaper cake centerpiece; if it's a surprise, you can get gender neutral versions, still with cute animals or toys as add-ons-try a quest for "baby shower diaper cakes" and you'll have lots of options.
Another cute décor idea: stringing a clothes line across the back of the seminar room, and having everyone bring baby clothes gifts. You can get colorful clothes pins and pin the outfits across the clothes line-festive, cute, and functional all at once, and everyone likes shopping for baby clothes! If there's no room to string a clothes line, you can use this same opinion by filling a diaper bucket with a clothes line with newborn clothes, bibs, etc pinned to it; pulling the line out of the diaper bucket (or hamper) is fun when it's loaded with goodies, and this is a good way to make a cute gift presentation in a small space (plus helps mom get everything home easily!)
A final good "work shower" idea is to have everyone bring in popular books for the new baby; this is a amazing way to help build the baby's library with a diverse option of books mom or dad might never have read and kept as favorites, from childhood. Buying books is fairly economical, so especially if the shower is for a co-worker, may be easier than some other, more personal items (for instance, work colleagues shouldn't be predicted to contribute breast pumps, dress shields, etc!) Some of my children's popular books came from a microscopic baby girl gift basket I received, stuffed with a option of books for girls specifically, and I'm a firm believer that you can never have Too many books.
