Centerpieces are so much more than pretty shower decorations these days. They now serve as the prime guest gift and one of the main things that your guests will consider when judging your shower. Here are 4 ideas that will have even the most mild-mannered women at the shower fighting to win your amazing centerpiece.
Centerpiece Idea #1: Spa Gift Basket
Pick out a variety of lotions, soaps, sponges and candles. Place them together in a pretty wicker basket or an interesting flowerpot. Wrap the entire piece with cellophane and tie with ribbons that match the shower's theme colors.
Idea #2: Picnic Basket
Picnic baskets make great centerpieces. On their own, they are a cute decoration - but filled, they are an amazing gift! Pick one up and fill it with brightly colored plastic dishes, cups and cutlery. Add in a colorful blanket, a frisbee or a ball, wrap it up in cellophane and tie with a bow to match the shower decorations.
Idea #3: Beach Bag
Just like the picnic basket idea, a beach bag is another quick, easy centerpiece. Just choose a bag (opt for a taller bag that won't take up too much room on the table) and fill it with matching towels, sunscreen, a beach ball and some magazines. Again, just wrap it up in cellophane and tie with a bow.
Idea #4: Wine Bucket
Fill a galvanized metal bucket or a flowerpot with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. Top it off with an opener and a cutting board and knife for apples and cheese. Wrap it up in cellophane and tie it with ribbons to match your shower color theme.
Centerpiece Idea #5: Mix it up!
Can't decide between these and other ideas? Don't be afraid to use them all! Stick to a color scheme and create baskets of similar sizes and price ranges. You'll be surprised at how guests choose their tables based on the centerpieces!
