So, you are in the process of planning a baby shower, but need baby shower decorating ideas? Well, you have came to the right place! My name is Elizabeth, and I am here to help you make the shower that you are planning a special occasion that will be remembered for a long time!

Make sure you subscribe to the RSS feed, so you can stay updated as often as I update this blog. You dont want to miss a single post, because I will be revealing unique baby shower decorating ideas with every single new post!

1. Pick the template

There are only three templates to choose from, but we cant complain, because they are completely free! Find the one that you like the most, and click on it.

2. Edit The Text

After you clicked on the template that you liked the most, you will be taken to the Edit Text screen. From here, you can make the card say exactly what you want it to say. To do so, click the mouse over the specific text that you want to change, and that will activate the edit tool. From here, get creative and write whatever you want in the blocks!

3. Change The Font Color And Text

Now that the card says exactly what you want it to say, you can change the colors and fonts that the card is made up of. In the example that I am using, color 1 changes the color of the footprints. Color 2 changes the color of the border, and color 3 changes the background. (I recommend keeping the background white, unless you don’t mind using a lot of your colored ink).

To change the font type, just click on the font that appeals to you the most. You can see it change live, so if you don’t like the way it looks, move on to the next one

4. Turn your invitation into a PDF file

You have the option of printing 4 invitations per page, 2 invitations per page, or 1 invitation per page. The more invitations per page, the smaller they will be. Select whichever option you wish, and click CREATE PDF.

If you get a message telling you that your browser has blocked pop-ups from this site, just follow the directions to unblock this site.

5. Save The Invitations To Your Computer

After you click Create PDF, your customized invitations for your baby shower should open up in either a new tab, or new browser window. You could just print them right from your browser, but I recommend that you save them to your computer so that you can print more later if you want. To do that, at the top of your browser, click File, then Save Page As. The save file box should open up, allowing you to save the invitations wherever you wish on your computer

6. Print Your Cards

You can use regular paper, or something a little more fancy. The choice is yours! To print, click on the printer icon located in the top left corner of the PDF file in the browser.

There you have it! Your own personalized invitations for your baby shower! You also have the option of paying to become a member to print the matching thank you cards and stuff, but since I am no way affiliated with this website, I will not promote it. Personally, I would be happy with the free invitations, and be on my way! Its your choice though!

Most of the decorations that you can buy at the local party store can be quite pricey. The truth is, those party stores make a huge profit off of their party decorations, by overcharging for stuff that you can make yourself!

It doesn’t take much to create your own decorations. Even if you don’t have many creative juices flowing through your body, it is more than possible to create wonderful decorations that will be remembered forever! All you really need is some paper, and some time! If you’re not very creative, I highly recommend a book called “FanCraftic Party Crafts” (click for information). It is full of step-by-step instructions for creating your own decorations. It also includes a CD Rom that contains printable templates for every single project inside of the book! With this book, you can save yourself a considerable amount of the costs, and also have an excuse to get everyone together for another party… The decoration creation party!

A key part of baby shower decorating is the colors. Besides using the decorations that you create yourself, you could also use some that you have grown on your own! If you, or someone you know has a flower garden, you could design your own flower arrangements to brighten up the shower! This is a great way to make the party even more visually appealing!

If you don’t see yourself as a floral designer, no problem! There are tons of books out there that can guide you through setting up flower arrangements! One that I recommend is a book called “Flowers That Wow: Inspired Arrangements for the Floral-Impaired(Click for information). It is full of easy to follow, step by step instructions that will teach you how to put together flower arrangements that will be the stand-out decorations of the party!

These are just a few of the baby shower decorating idea that can be accomplished on a budget! Most people shy away from creating their own decorations because they feel they aren’t very creative people, but as I hope you have seen from this article, creativity can be faked with a little bit of innovation! I am completely sure that by using these ideas, the shower will be a memorable experience for both the mother-to-be, and her guests!
