How to Make Homemade Baby Shower Corsages

Wearing baby shower corsages are a really cute way to celebrate and honor the upcoming arrival of a new baby. Although, you can easily buy baby shower corsages, there is a lot of benefits to creating them yourself.

The first benefit of creating your own baby shower corsages is the fact that you don't have to buy any. Making your corsages will make it a whole lot easier on your budget, especially if you want a corsage for every guest.

Another great benefit of creating your own baby shower corsages is that you can include the colors of the baby shower theme, or even personalize the corsages. This is great for adding a special detail or touch that your guests will love and appreciate.

How to Make Homemade Baby Shower Corsages

Creating your own baby shower corsages is also something really fun. You will enjoy being able to give your guests something that is gorgeous and that you've made with your own two hands. Here are a couple of really cute ideas for baby shower corsages.

Lily baby shower corsage:

You will need:

- 1 large white lily for each corsage. (Try the local florist.)

- A package of florist's wire. (Also try the florist shop.)

- 2 small cuttings of baby ivy vines. (Try the local florist.)

- A length of pretty ribbon for a bow. (You can get this from a craft store.)

- A pin to hold the corsage on.

Cut the stem on the lily to about 2 to 3 inches long. Use the florist's wire to bundle the ivy with the lily in a pretty way. Try an ivy vine on each side of the lily. Then tie on a pretty bow with the ribbon. You will use the pin to place it on a guest's blouse. This is a really pretty baby shower corsage. Remember to store it in the fridge until time to use it.

Funny baby shower corsage:

You will need:

- A tiny packet of baby wipes.

- A clothespin.

- Ribbon for little bows.

- A pin to fasten the baby shower corsage on.

This is a funny idea you can use as a joke for the Mom-to be. You will be making a 'changing time' helper. Open the baby wipes and pull a few through the little opening. You can rearrange them a bit to make them look like a flower.

Fasten the clothespin on the package of wipes so Mom-to be can access it instantly if she needs to clothespin her nose! You can add little bows made out of the ribbons. Pin this on the new mother's shirt for a great laugh.

Making your own baby shower corsages is a fun and easy way to make sure they look exactly like you want them to. Visiting a craft store is a great way to get some wonderful ideas.

Your guests will enjoy them, and if they're not fresh flower corsages, they will make a great memento that your guests can keep forever.

You can get materials for the creation of homemade baby shower invitations from retail shops. These materials include paper styles, font colors, baby shower invitation wordings, and matching accessories such as thank you notes, envelopes, stickers, fun stamps, and baby birth announcements.

Selecting a baby shower theme is the first step in preparing homemade baby shower invitations. Choose a theme that is pleasing to the eye in style and design. Select stamps that are fit for your theme. Also, choose appropriate colors. You can select pink for girls, dark colors for boys, and green or yellow for baby yet unknown. Wording of your invitation should include the name of the new mother or baby, date, time, and location of the event. You can also draw a map of the location for out-of-town guests; include a phone number and email address. You may do this manually at home or get them printed at a local printer's.

To get a quality finishing touch to your homemade baby shower invitation, use wax seals with initials. Always use high-quality products for the creation of homemade invitations.

Homemade Baby Shower Centerpieces For Your Next Baby Shower

Whether you are making homemade baby showers centerpiece for the food table or the gift table, you can easily come up and create you own masterpiece. Creativity goes a long way and saves a lot of money! When you begin brainstorming centerpiece ideas, revert back to your overall theme. If the mommy-to-be is having a boy and you have a shower that focuses on all the different sports, then maybe you could have a toy wagon or Tonka truck full of toddler sport equipment. If it is a beautiful baby girl that is expected them you could Care Bears in Diapers as their pastel colors would be perfect.

For the food table, your centerpiece should be your cake, or a diaper cake. A diaper cake is a non-edible creative "cake" made of diapers with baby shower gifts attached to it. You can place it in a cake dish if you would like for an added effect. The diaper cake would look just as great on the gift table and can serve as both a gift and a centerpiece. You could also place miniature pacifiers, bottles, or carriages, (found at your local Dollar Tree), around the food table. Another cute idea for the food table include a basket lined with a clean baby receiving blanket and filled with cookies. For the final touch to the "cookie basket" add a bottle filled with pastel colored m&m's! If your theme involves rubber ducks, why not add a baby bathtub filled with punch to your food table with floating rubber ducks.

For the centerpiece of the guest's tables, you could use:

  • Candles shaped like baby bottles
  • Remove the nipple from baby bottles and use the base as a vase; insert fresh or artificial flowers
  • Remove the nipple from the baby bottle and insert candy
  • Styrofoam Baby Bootie Cups - these are adorable baby booties made from styrofoam cups that you can insert mints, jelly beans, etc. in.
  • Alphabet Blocks

The gift table could easily go without a centerpiece for an inexpensive baby shower as it is likely to be bright and colorful with all the wrapped gifts. As stated earlier, the diaper cake would be perfect. Other great ideas include:

  • Diaper wreath - this could also be hung on the delivery room door
  • Balloons - by themselves or attached to a diaper stuffed animal or floral arrangement
  • Floral arrangement

Making your own centerpiece is easier than you think and you will wow your guests and yourself with these great ideas.
