It is time to have the baby shower and celebrate the approaching birth of your baby. By now, you have picked all your favors, decorations drape the room but the tables are looking a bit bare. At this point, you are trying to figure out what centerpieces you should use. This can be a hard decision when there are so many things to choose from for your joyful event. For a lovely girl themed centerpieces give these great ideas that are easy to make and cost efficient a try.

* Baby food jar pyramids

What you will need:

20-60 baby food jars depending on the size you would like.

Slim pink ribbon to fit the rim of the jars

Glue sticks or a hot glue gun

Pink paint

Glitter

Magazine clippings of babies, ducks, baby toys, and pregnant women.

First, you should paint all your jars you can paint the whole thing or do your own fun patterns, after you paint the jar add a touch of glitter for sparkle.

Second, while your jars dry begin to cut your ribbon in links that fit around the rim of your baby food jar.

Third, after jars have dried start gluing on your ribbon and magazine clippings.

Fourth, begin staking them like a pyramid start with a square base then make a smaller square on that continuing until you are down to one jar at the top. (You can also use as a party favor by filling the jars with candy.)

* Pacifier tree

What you will need:

Pacifiers in your colors of choice

A small to medium sized fake tree

Pink spray paint

Glitter

Pink ribbon bows

First, take your tree and spray paint then add a touch of glitter to your branches. (If your tree has bendable branches, you should first shape the tree
before painting.)

Second, after your tree has dried place the pacifiers and pink ribbon bows onto your braches being sure not to over fill the tree.

* Baby block centerpiece

What you will need:

A,B,C baby blocks

This is a very simple and quick centerpiece; all you will need to do is create a pyramid that uses the letters to read things like baby or bib, the   possibilities are endless. (All of these items are either cheap to get or can be gotten from a friend, for the baby food jar pyramid just collect the jars from your mother friends.)

For the shower planner and women who just do not have the time to sit down and make their centerpieces try these great-premade ideas.

* Diaper cakes
