Picking Up the Baby Shower Corsage
for That Special Guest?
If you're assigned the job of finding a baby shower corsage,
then you might need some help.
Many times a baby shower corsage is worn by not only the mom of honor, but also any older guests that are related to the mom, so some care needs to be taken to choose something that everyone will like.
In a practical sense, you may want to choose a baby shower corsage that the mom can use long after the party is over. One such idea for these kinds of baby shower corsages is to wrap baby socks around a wire pattern and then affix a pin or clip to the back.
The mom can then take this home and use it for her soon to be little one. And the other recipients of these corsages can hand them to the mom at the end of the shower as well—it's a great little gift!
In "The Baby Shower Kit" by Michael Rasmussen and Jillian Blume, the authors give several ideas for smaller baby shower favors for guests that can also be turned into ideas for a great baby shower corsage. Think about smaller candles, baby bottles, soaps, or kitchen magnets as starters for your corsages.
But you don't have to be overly creative to make great baby shower corsages—you can just buy them as well. Find a simple flower arrangement that the mom can wear—making sure that mom isn't allergic to any flowers—and add a few baby touches, either on your own or let the florist handle the details.
A blue or pink (or both) ribbon can be a simple accent, while little plastic rattles or a bib can also be a cute addition. The point is to incorporate the baby shower theme or some aspect of the baby celebration. Even a little plastic baby figurine can work well.
The baby shower corsage is a little piece of the larger baby shower puzzle, but it can highlight the special mom as well as other moms in the group. And everyone wants to celebrate that important role as often as they can.
