*Cakes of Diapers

Diaper cakes are one of the many known baby shower table arrangements. They resemble cakes, but these centerpieces are built completely of diapers and other useful baby gifts, like pacifiers, changing blankets, plush toys, and more.

You can make multiple tier diaper cakes, by stacking the levels on top of each other. An alternate method to keep the diapers together is by using glue, but using tape is usually a better idea. This makes it easier for an expecting mother to separate the diapers for alternate use.

*Seasonal Centerpieces

Circular containers filled with citrus slices are a charming means to add cheerful highlights to a summer wedding. Just slice and add to the vase for a pleasantly aromatic centerpiece. You may also simply add them complete to any glass vase for a bright touch. In autumn, adorn your centerpieces with translucent vases filled with apples and maple leaves. And in winter, include pine cones. A very easy spring centerpiece thats just right for a baby shower can be made by concealing colorful easter eggs in wheat grass.
