DIAPER CAKES

BABY SHOWER

For the table where you will have the food and beverages set up, you want to create something festive. Although there are many great ideas, one of the most popular is the diaper cake. You can learn to make your own diaper cake centerpiece or purchase one online.

Since this "cake" is constructed of baby diapers, these would be presented to the expectant mother after the baby shower. This centerpiece is actually very beautiful, as you can see in the photograph and in most cases, very affordable, especially considering that they are fully functional.

There are many different variations of diaper cakes so you can be as creative as you like. If you want to try making the centerpiece on your own, simply following these instructions:

40 small diapers

2 baby towels or small receiving blankets

1 burp rag

1 baby bottle

Rubber bands or scotch tape

3 diaper pins

1 cardboard cake plate

1 roll of colored curling ribbon

1 cake topper (toys, stuffed animals, flowers, etc)

Various baby items for decoration such as miniature powder or shampoo, rattle, brush, teething ring, etc

For the bottom layer of the "cake", roll the diapers lengthwise around the baby bottle, continuing to roll the actual diapers around themselves until 20 of the diapers have been used. Then, with the rubber bands or tape, secure them so they remain firmly in place.

For the second layer, you would use 10 or 15 of the diapers depending on how thick you want it and do the same for the top layer using the remaining diapers (usually around five). Next, fold one of the receiving blankets so it is the same width as the bottom layer and then wrap it around the diapers, covering them. Do the same thing for the middle layer with the other blanket and then for the top layer, use the burp cloth. After each has been wrapped around, secure them with a couple of safety pins.

You will then take the curling ribbon, choosing colors to match the sex of the baby or theme of the party, wrapping it around each of the three layers. Be sure to leave about four inches on each to curl. To finish the cake, use your cake topper on the top and then place smaller baby items around for decoration.

Keep in mind that you can make a couple smaller diaper cakes using 20 diapers for the entire cake or one really, large one with 65 diapers. If you prefer to buy the diaper cake, the price will range on average between and .

Baby Shower Activity - Baby Advice Cards

Showers are full of activities; from chatting with friends and family to eating to playing games and opening gifts. Shower games are a great way to break the ice and include your guests in the fun. Baby Showers can last from two to four hours. The traditional rule of thumb is to have 1-2 games or activities per hour. There are traditional and trendy games that can be played. Keep your audience in mind when planning what types of games or activities to play.

One shower activity that all of your guests can participate in is to complete baby advice cards or booklets. Think about it - everyone has something to say. They may even have some unique knowledge that someone wouldn't think to tell mom-to-be. Why not have friends and family of the guest of honor give her advice? Your guests will have different levels of parenting experience. There are sure to be some insightful, and possibly humorous, advice for mom-to-be.

BABY SHOWER EVITES

You don't have to break the bank for this activity. You can purchase lined index cards in white or colors. There are also very affordable baby themed advice cards. Have your guests complete the advice cards when they arrive. Instruct your guests to place the completed cards in one location or collect them at a set time. While mom to be is busy enjoying her shower have a friend help you put the advice cards in a decorated box, a recipe card box, or a photo album.

Present the box or album to mom to be towards the end of her shower as a gift from her guests. Not only will she have a wonderful gift, but she will have a sentimental keepsake created by the people that she cares about.

Unique Baby Shower Cakes

Are you tired of the same old stork cake you see at everyone's baby shower? The good news is that people are becoming more creative when designing and planning baby shower cakes. In fact, cakes are now only limited by your imagination and creativity. Below are ten unique baby shower cake ideas that you can use when planning your next baby shower.

1. Picture cakes are becoming increasingly popular services in many grocery stores and bakeries. If you have a childhood picture of the mother-to-be, why not have their picture scanned on the cake? This is a very unique idea, and it will serve as a conversation starter.

Baby

2. Every child and parent love Sesame Street. Why not make a Sesame Street cake? Many stores have cake decoration in the shape of the popular characters, making this cake a very simple cake to make.

3. Ladybug cakes are also very easy to make. Just make a cake, cut it in the shape of a circle, and decorate. What could be easier?

4. Alphabet blocks are also very easy. Just use an 8 by 8 cake pan to create perfect blocks and decorate.

5. Winnie the Pooh is also beloved by adults and children. If you do an online search, you can find many images of Winnie the Pooh. Take one of those images with you to the bakery in order to get the cake of your dreams. If you want to make the cake yourself, many craft stores sell Winnie the Pooh cake decorations. This is a cake everyone can enjoy.

6. An easy cake to make is a baby quilt cake. All you have to do is make a 9 by 13 cake, frost it, and then section it off like a block quilt. You can then use pre-made decorations to fill each of the quilt blocks.

7. Rubber ducky cakes are also very cute. You can sometimes find a duck shaped cake pan, but if not, you can just decorate the cake with little yellow duckies. If you are serving a large cake, you can also use several real rubber duckies as your decorations.

8. If you would like something very different, why not serve cupcakes? You could decorate each cupcake like a baby in bed and then arrange them using a cupcake stand. It will be just like looking in the window of the nursery in the hospital.

9. Several stores have cake pans in various shapes. A new cake pan is the rocking horse cake pan. This makes an adorable cake that your guests will remember and try to imitate.

10. Many ultrasounds now provide crystal clear pictures of the baby in utero. Many people are now having the ultrasound picture scanned on the cake. This is a cute way to show off your coming baby. This is a cake everyone will remember.

Bring a Book - A Very Cool Baby Shower Idea

Build A Library

While it is no secret that reading to your children is very important in their overall development, it has also been shown that reading to the baby in utero can also be beneficial. It is never too soon to get your baby's library going and what better time and place to start this than the baby shower. By asking your guests to skip the card and instead bring along their own personal favorite children's story, they can provide something far more personal than a Hallmark.

BABY SHOWER EVITES

What Types Of Books Should The Guests Bring?

This part of the shower is entirely up to you. Some people opt for a specific theme such as nursery rhymes, or perhaps Little Golden Books. Another popular theme is Dr. Suess. If you decide to go with a theme, it might be a good idea to assign your guests a book to bring. While this can remove some of the personal touch, it can make things easier in the long run when you are not forced to run around to return the 10 copies of The Cat In The Hat that you end up with.

How Do I Ask The Guests To Bring A Book?

The invitations are the best place to make such a request. When you decide that you prefer the guests to bring a book along, it is best that you mention this as soon as possible. This is especially true for those baby showers where the guests can pick and choose what book that they want to give. This is a very personal approach and it is nice to ask the guests to put a little note in the front of the book explaining why they chose to give that particular book. Perhaps it is a story that they loved as a child, or perhaps there is a great message in the book that they feel is important to a child. Whatever the reason it is a wonderful way for the guests to give a bit of themselves in their book selection.

Start Weaning Your Baby - Equipment

Knowing when to start weaning your baby is always going to involve a bit of guesswork, but mostly health professionals recommend you start to wean baby around 6 months of age. That's because your baby's mouth, jaw and digestive system are all ready for solid foods by then. Another possible idea is to start weaning when baby's weight has doubled, although this doesn't always mean baby is ready.

baby halloween costumes

It's also important that you don't wait too long to start. Once baby is ready, you need to start the process of introducing solids, otherwise you may find that baby struggles to adapt to swallowing food. So even if baby doesn't seem keen at first, you need to persist.

Baby

Handy Items

Bibs - you'll need heaps of them! And don't waste your money on cloth bibs - they need to have a plastic or rubber backing on them. To begin with baby will probably spit out more food than she eats, and a cloth bib allows the moisture to soak straight through into baby's clothes. I also recommend bibs that are easy to put on and remove - my favourite were bibs with Velcro fastenings. As baby gains more muscular control, she may decide she doesn't like bibs, particularly if you have to fuss around for a while or pull it over her head.

Unbreakable bowls - it's quite probably that more than one bowlful of food is going to end up on the floor, so make sure the bowl you're using won't break.

Soft spoons - Soft, rubber or plastic spoons are also good for the same reason, and also because they won't hurt baby's mouth.

Leftover containers - make sure you have plenty of small containers with tight lids for storing leftovers. You should always separate the food into portions before you feed baby, otherwise the bacteria from baby's mouth will end up in the leftovers and make them spoil. Only feed baby one portion at a time, and throw out any that's left over from that meal.

Food processor - this is optional, but can make it quicker to puree food. Personally I always made do with a strong bowl and a fork, but with a food processor you can be certain you've removed all the lumps. One thing you must watch, though, is that over the course of a few months you need to add texture to baby's food, so you might find eventually that mashing the cooked food with a fork gives you a better texture when baby's a bit more experienced with solids.

High Chair - again, this is optional. Certainly when you're starting out, baby may still be developing the necessary muscles to hold her head up, so a high chair may be best left until she's around 12 months of age. Feeding baby in your lap has advantages, because with you holding baby you can minimise squirming. You can also try propping baby in a chair with cushions to support her head and neck.

Weaning is an ongoing process, but it's amazing how quickly the months fly by. Your baby will quickly become a toddler, and hopefully, because you've given her the right start, she'll be eating a wide, varied diet with lots of different tastes and textures.

Although there are thousands of party favors available in the market that are easy to buy, there is something special about favors that are homemade. If you are planning to organize a baby shower, you might think of making favors at home instead of buying pre-made ones at party store. Homemade baby shower favors are personally thought of and most of, which made them always appreciated. There's nothing else that come with homely warmth than homemade gifts.

baby shower party favors

When you decide to go for homemade baby shower favors, the first thing you need to do is to think what favors to make. You can ask friends or research online if you are short of ideas. Chances are that some of your friends have hosted a baby shower or any kind of party before with homemade party souvenirs. Browsing the Internet is also an excellent way to gain ideas and tutorials when it comes to making homemade party favors.

BABY SHOWER

Homemade baby shower favors should cost you less than buying pre-made at a retail store. However, there are some people who don't mind spending more as long as the favors look great and impressive. You can think of either edible treats, candles, toys, handkerchiefs, or scrapbooks as little gifts for the guests.

Aside from the favor itself, another key to make the presentation impressive is through wrapping. There are several materials you will need to package each item, like ribbons, organza, tulle, wrapping paper and the like, depending on your taste. Get creative in designing the favors of the look you want. They have to be attractive on the eyes of the guests to make them crave to get one and take home.

If you are good at baking, you can bake cookies or cupcakes. There are various recipes for cookies and cupcakes, and you can get very creative when adding touches on them. You can talk to a friend who is a good baker to help you in baking the treats. Or if your mom or sister can bake, then count yourself lucky. You can ask for their assistance or if they are willing to bake all the treats themselves, it would be much easier for you to go ahead with the things you need for packaging, like creating favor bags or other containers you want.

Bookmarks, candles, soaps, and scrapbooks are also great options when it comes to homemade party gifts. These are actually easy to make and you can get your materials at craft store. These ideas, however, need to be made as early as possible. If you have a specific theme in mind for the party, it would also be best to bring that them to the favors you are making.

Online, you can find so many websites that offer a wide variety of baby shower favors and other baby shower accessories and baby shower ideas. Aside from pre-made items, you can also find DIY kits on these sites that you can purchase and assemble at home. Add a personal touch on the favors to make them more special and appealing. If the baby already has a name, you can put it on nice small note card together with the date.

The Best Baby Shower Gifts For a Modern Baby Shower

It's another baby shower and you are trying to find that perfect baby shower gift to give those special expecting parents in your life! You browse the internet and you go to a few Department Stores and everywhere you go you see the same gifts you gave at all the other baby showers you have attended. There are also those of you who may be going to your first baby shower where the grandmother or father of the unborn is the star! Regardless of the type of baby shower you will be attending, you will find the following list of gift ideas helpful:

baby shower

1. Professional Portrait Studio Package - Surprise and please the mother-to-be with a prepaid sitting at a local Professional Portrait Studio. Who wouldn't want to have pictures of their new baby!

BABY SHOWER

2. Mommy Gift Basket - Instead of focusing on the unborn, pamper the expecting mother and give a gift basket full of items that will help her feel beautiful again. Be creative in selecting the items to put in there, and remember that she will most likely be home from six to eight weeks after the birth of her child. A great gift basket may include champagne, popcorn, a Blockbuster Gift Card, and calming bath wash. The idea here would be for her to take a nice long bath and relax with a movie, champagne and popcorn. You could change or add some items to make it a gift basket for both the parents of the new baby to have a romantic night together. You never know when the last time they may of had one of these due to the pregnancy!

3. Coupons - You could be a real pal and give your loved ones "Get One Free" Cards for babysitting, cooking, washing clothes, etc.

4. Baby Gift Basket - I don't mean the average gift basket that includes lotions. baby oil, bottles, bibs, etc. I'm talking about the items that everyone else at the shower will forget! My favorite baby gift basket idea includes Infant Tylenol/Motrin, Diaper Rash Ointment, Baby Orajel, Thermometer, Infant Gas Relief, Medicine Dispenser, and Hydrocortisone Cream. That way when the baby gets sick for the first time, you will receive massive praise from the expectant mother!

5. A Gift for the older Sibling - This was my favorite gift from my baby shower as it stopped me from having to make a stop on my way home! There was no way I could go home with a truck full of toys for my unborn baby and nothing for my older daughter. It really doesn't have to be anything expensive, just a coloring book, crayons, and a small toy would suffice.

6. Gift Card - Contrary to what mother other people suggest, I would not suggest a gift card to a restaurant for a sit down dinner. Instead, I would get her a gift card to her favorite take out place as she may not want to go out with the new baby.

7. Baby Hamper with Baby Laundry Detergent - You didn't think of this one did you? This is a perfect baby shower gift ideas because it is likely one of those things that some new moms may try to get by without but, wouldn't mind having.

8. Baby Shower Scrap Book - why not have everyone make a page to go in the scrap book at the shower, designate someone to take the pictures and hand her the scrap book at a later date. This would be perfect for an office baby shower, where the scrap book would be handed to her upon her return to work.

9.Diaper Genie with Diapers and Wipes - God Bless the Diaper Genie! Everyone needs one! For those of you who do not know what a diaper genie is, it is basically a trash can for used disposable diapers. However, unlike your ordinary trash can, you insert the dirty diaper, close the lid, and turn a knob that will wrap each dirty diaper up tightly to conceal the odor.

10. Diaper Cake or Wreath - these are creative and very modern baby shower gift ideas that you can make on your own. They could easily serve as both a centerpiece and a gift!

There you have it ...the best baby shower gift ideas! Happy Shopping!

To start with you are going to have to have all of the invitations printed up tea party style and you can have that done at your local print shop.

Make sure that you specify that it is a tea party baby shower on them, so your guests will know. Then of course you are then going to have to pay a visit to your local baker to decide on what all you are going to be serving at your tea party baby shower in the way of small cakes and pastries.

One idea is to make your own small tea party sandwiches by using a cookie cuter to cut out bread in shapes that go along with your motif or theme of the baby shower. Of course, to have a tea party baby shower you are also going to need all of the serviceware including table clothes and all of that can be had from your local rental outlet.

You will find if you call around that most rental yards that rent tools and equipment also rent out party necessities as well. You are going to have to give away some party favors as well at your event and small boxes of exotic teas are an excellent idea for a tea party baby shower.

Also, one other good idea is to keep some good coffee available for anyone that prefers coffee over tea at your event. Remember that for the mother to be, you should have decaf available in both coffee and tea for your event as well.

Stock up on art supplies. Keep pink and blue ribbons handy, as well as lace and eyelet trim. These can be used to decorate invitations, or to add to the edges of tables or desks. You can also decorate your venue's walls with twisted ribbons, and hang decorations from these ribbons. Such decorations might include baby bottles filled with candies, baby socks filled with pastel-colored chewing gum, or even cloth diapers labeled with a baby's name.

You may also need to stock up on baby-related supplies, such as clear sterile baby bottles, cloth diapers, socks, bibs, and even an antique stroller. An antique stroller, if well decorated, can serve as a great corner piece for a venue, or can be a good place for the baby shower guests to place their gifts in. You can use an antique stroller again and again if you want to make a business out of your baby shower decorations.

For even better baby shower decorations, keep small charms and figurines handy. You might also want to carry a small notebook and pen around on which to jot down your ideas. Consult with your baby supplies stores and department stores on the latest trends in baby fashion and toys so that you can spice up your decorations and baby shower planning strategies.
