Gone are the days that you have to make everything yourself, at present, you can simply plan the shower, list the items you need and order a few items online to prepare for the big event.
When it comes to such an event, the go-to items that are always present are stuffed toys. These are very cute items that come in a variety of whimsical designs appealing to every taste and preference. In fact, some adults still enjoy receiving occasional gifts in the form of plush soft toys. The main reason why these are always present in any shower is because we tend to associate them with babiesboth are cute, cuddly, huggable, and very endearing. If you are looking for ways to incorporate stuffed toys in the latest shower you are planning, then here are three versatile ways to use these cute creations.
Use it as a diaper cake topper
If weddings have to have a wedding cake, then a modern shower cannot do without a diaper cake. This whimsical creation is not edible, however, because it consists of folded diapers that have been designed and arranged to resemble a cake. Usually three or four layers high, a diaper cake serves as a centrepiece of the event because of its size, mainly, and because of the way with which it highlights the main theme of the shower. For instance, using a clown stuffed toy atop the cake diaper will reinforce a circus theme for the shower. On the other hand, mini plushies in the form of teddy bears will certainly remind the visitors that they are attending a teddy bear-themed party.
As a table centrepiece
If the event you are planning is large enough that it will require a few separate tables for all the guests, then you can use a group of small plush soft toys to create a table centrepiece. One suggestion is to place a group of three small ones in a small basket and then add a few more things to help reinforce a theme. For example, if you are planning a jungle animal theme shower, then the small basket can be made to look like Noahs ark in which you can place two or three small animal stuffed toys, a few cut out mini-trees, and a small rainbow to complete the centrepiece.
As basket fillers for thank you gifts
Finally, although a baby shower is meant to celebrate the impending arrival of a new addition to the family, it is but proper that the host give out thank you gifts to those who attended the party. Again, you can choose to hand out mini stuffed toys, on which a thank you note is pinned, as guests head out once the party is over.
