Choosing tableware is one of the key tasks that must be completed when organizing a baby shower. This task will be left up to the hostess of the event. First, you will need to consider the location and the theme of the baby shower. You must also ensure that all of your guests will feel comfortable at the event. When choosing baby shower tableware accessories, think about the baby’s gender (if known), the mom-to-be’s personality and the shower color scheme.

Dressing The Table

First, consider where the baby shower will be held. The location will influence your choice of baby shower tableware; think about what is most appropriate. For example, if you’re holding an elegant baby shower, a formal tablecloth will be necessary. This can be rented from an agency if you don’t have your own. Alternatively, ask around; maybe you can borrow one from a friend to cut costs. In contrast, if you’re hosting a casual picnic then perhaps disposable table covers will suffice. There are so many attractive, throwaway tablecloths on the market today; narrowing down your choice will certainly spoil you.

Service Ware

The same rule applies for service ware. Either opt for elegant cutlery and plates (which can be borrowed from friends or rented from a company) or choose plastic. If you purchase disposable service ware, ensure that the plastic is of a high quality so that the cutlery and plates won’t break during the meal. Stemware can also be formal with glass or a thick, safe plastic.

Table Decorations

Bring some originality and fun to the shower with quirky table decorations. Consider the shower theme and colors as well as the mood of the baby shower. There are many great baby-themed items you can use to bring some color and life to the table. Perhaps use cute rattles or other baby toys for napkin rings. You could even spread some stuffed toys or baby blocks across the table. Other items such as dummies or baby’s cutlery could add a cute touch - even some bibs spread across the table cover. These items can also double as party favors; simply take them from the table and give to your guests as they leave the baby shower.
