How to decorate for a baseball-themed baby shower
A baseball-themed baby shower is a fun and unique way to celebrate the pending arrival of a new baby boy. If you are looking for ideas on how to decorate for a baseball-themed baby shower, here are a few suggestions.
One way to add a baseball theme to your decorations is to use baseballs as part of your table centerpieces. You can either use real baseballs or fake ones that you can purchase at a party supply store. Another idea is to use Baseball Bats as decoration. You can display them in a vase or use them as part of a centerpiece.
If you want to get really creative, you can make your own decorations using baseball items. For example, you can string together small batting helmets to create a garland for the wall or edge of the table. You can also wrap mini bats in tulle or ribbon to create decorative napkin rings.
If you want to keep the decorating simple, you can use generic baby shower decorations and then add some baseball-themed items here and there. For example, you could use yellow and green streamers (the colors of many Major League Baseball teams) and then add some banners or pennants with baseball team logos on them. Balloons are also an easy way to incorporate the theme without going overboard.
