Baby Showers

Question on decorations

Hi ladies. My SIL and I are throwing a baby shower for other SIL and it is very small....like 7 of us plus 2 kids (her mom throwing big one in her hometown).

It will be at the non pg SIL's house. Do I need to go crazy on the decor? I want it to look nice but can we just do some balloons? Maybe few nice flowers in vases? Cutout cookies of an elephant and onsies (real cute) ok for favors?

Her nursery is elephants and I googled and wow...there are some really cute ideas! Not sure how much I need to do. Sorry if this is a silly question...be gentle on me :)

Re: Question on decorations

  • I think if you focus on one main table for cake/food/decorations, then you'll be good. Have another for the gifts. Color-scheme matching flowers here and there....and you're done. That's my opinion....

  • Is it the pic with the desserts on a pink tablecloth? Ugh...I'm so computer illiterate...

    I think I know what you mean though. With only 7 guests how hard can this be for me...lol

  • No...I'm REALLY bad on computers ::so ashamed::

    Ok. I guess I'm so hung up on only having 7 of us...idk...I'm weird. I never been to that small of a shower before!! Should I incorporate elephants also besides the favors? Your probably running out of patience with me Estwd2!!

  • Agree with PPs that one big table nicely decorated with food, and another small table for gifts is all you need!

  • I'm not a big decor person either but maybe just some elephant shaped dessert/treats and nice flowers on the table?? Poms Poms are easy to make and you can match them to any colors that you want to match the theme.
