Adaptable Decorations

• Baby shower decorations may include flowers, large tissue pompoms suspended from the ceiling, a tiered cake made of rolled-up diapers, baby bottles filled with colorful candies, table linens that complement the tone of the party and a display of shower favors. Small changes in decor can take the shower from casual to elegant.
  
  

Classic Decorations

• Traditional baby shower themes, such as Noah's ark, pea in the pod, stork delivery and diaper duty, have corresponding decorations that are customarily used. The Noah's ark theme, for example, uses pairs of animals to decorate. The diaper duty theme features a diaper cake and cloth diapers strung across ribbon clotheslines.
  
  

Modern Decorations

• Modern baby shower themes and decorations tend to be more mature. A tea party is a popular one. Vases of flowers, colorful tablecloths, elegant place settings and creatively frosted cupcakes are the norm. A "welcome to the nest" theme uses tree branches and artificial nests and eggs as decorations.
