A party does not look like a party until the venue has been decorated enough. Be it a wedding, a birthday, a baby shower, an anniversary, a reunion, or simply a get together.

Rocks

This is one inexpensive idea. Rocks may seem solid, unromantic, and boring, but the same rocks can be converted in beautiful centerpieces by adding a little dash of creativity.
Get them in different colors and sizes, fill decorative glass bowls with water, and place the rocks in them. Also place fresh flowers around the bowls. Place river rocks inside tall glasses, place a flower on the rocks, and a floating candle on top, it will surely attract a lot of attention!

Books

For a Baby Shower

Cloth Line

The one thing that is prominently visible in every household, after the arrival of a baby is the cloth lines with tons of washcloths and cloth diapers hanging! In fact, even strangers visiting the house for the first time, come to know that a particular household has a baby when they see an extra clothing line outside the house.
So why not make it a baby shower centerpiece! Simply tie a woolen thread to two tall glass vases and put cute little socks on them. Decorate the vases with flowers and ribbons.

Rubber Duck

Babies and rubber ducks have a special bond, so if you wish to make your baby shower unique, make use of these baby's best friends.
You do not need a lot of creativity here, simply take shallow bowls, fill them with water, place a couple of flowers in it and lastly float the rubber ducks on it. If you want to decorate it further, add small pebbles to it.

Teddy Bears or Dolls
