Folding tables.

Let's face it, folding tables have been a party staple for many years.  Whether you're partying inside or outside, they're versatile and available in more than one size and shape.  Folding tables make setting up food stations, favor table, gift table, or a beverage station a snap.  We recommend starting with one and adding more as the budget allows.

Table cloths.

Bringing out a cloth table covering is a signal that something important is about to take place.  From stark white to festive colors, dress the table to complement the shower decor.  Take a look at the table cloth options below...

Table runners.

Think of the table as the stage and the table runner as the red carpet.  Start with a simple table runner and tie the ends with ribbon or allow it to puddle to the floor.  Then add decor to the table that magnifies the purpose...a gift table--add a sign, a food table--add serving pieces, etc.  These chiffon table runners are surprisingly inexpensive and are just the right touch for a baby shower tablescape.

Folding chairs.

Baby shower sign ideas.

Gently guide guests throughout the party space with decorative signs.  Zazzle offers many options for baby shower signs that are not only stylish, but give helpful direction.

Baby shower backdrop ideas.

The absolute best way to build a magnificent focal point is to frame the intended area.  Consider anchoring the scene with a fabric backdrop and then layering in additional decorative elements.  Balloons, stuffed animals, balloon boxes, or banners are perfect for a baby shower.  Whether the backdrop is used behind the food table or as a photo opt, set it up a day or two in advance to allow plenty of time to test out your great ideas.

Serving pieces.

Practice makes perfect.  Once you have decided on the party food, focus on how to serve it.  Practice arranging serving pieces to determine if you have everything needed.  Stackable serving pieces save valuable space when needed and can be separated when the table looks bare.  We have found that placing a slip of paper identifying what goes in each serving piece eliminates the stress of food placement on party day.

A tiered stand is a stylish way to heighten the presence of small treats or help yourself to an enticing donut wall display.  Whatever you choose, there is strength in an unexpected serving idea.
