Whether you’re married, single or in a long-term relationship, everyone loves a good excuse to throw a party, and celebrating the impending arrival of a new baby is a great reason to throw a bash.

Unlike weddings, baby showers are much more flexible affairs with less protocol and etiquette to worry about and more freedom to craft a party that’s fun, frivolous and centred around celebrating the new life you, your friend or your loved one is bringing into the world.

Setting The Scene

Whether you’re planning the party yourself or you’re a trusted friend who’s arranging the festivities on the new mom’s behalf, having a fun theme to build your party décor and invitations around is a great way to use up leftover wholesale wedding supplies. These can be easily modified with a few extra baby shower decorations or added to with one of the widest choices of tulle in Australia.

From beads to lanterns to cake decorations to bright paper accessories, we’ve got it all. Whether you’re going for a traditional pink or blue, or a more funky and original theme, there’s a great range of baby shower decorations on offer online. Why not have a fun retro-inspired party with paper accordion lanterns in an array of bright colours, striped paper straws for drinks and cute paper lolly bags for guests to take away or to stuff with goodies?

Make Your Home Your Venue

For the new or very expectant mother, the thought of an outing to an arranged venue can be off-putting, but if you’re holding a party at home, there’s the added issue of creating a room that can accommodate all the guests without a huge amount of set-up and cleanup work. Consider using fabrics bought in bulk to transform the appearance of a room at home. Pinned in place, a bolt of tulle can hide a multitude of sins and create a party vibe in almost any space.

Better yet, bulk buying fabric is so affordable that once the party is over, gathering it up and washing or recycling it is most likely quicker and easier than cleaning your regular furnishings before and after the event.

All In The Details

Storks, dummies, bottles and rocking horses feature as fun baby shower favours and decorative touches. Popping miniature figurines onto cakes, cupcakes or into favour bags adds a sweet finishing touch to your event and sends your guests away with a memento of the day. You could even use some as part of your invitation design or as place markers at the event.

If you’re keeping your baby’s gender under wraps before the birth, then neutral colours like green, yellow, clear shades and white are best to use. Follow the links on the WWS site to access a huge range of colourful accessories and fabrics from our baby shower selection.
