Ideas For Baby Shower Paper Plates And Napkins

Part of planning a baby shower is putting together a list of supplies and decorations that you are going to need for the event. Baby shower paper plates and napkins, as well as forks and cups should be at the top of your list.

After all, you are going to need tableware to enjoy the delicious food and refreshments that will be served. You can find paper plates in a wide variety of sizes, so having them for appetizers, lunch and cake is not a problem at all. Finding deals for them is easy too, if you visit popular online shops and view even more of the latest offerings.

Not just for food, there are fun games you can play using them too! To get your mind thinking, above are some great ideas for them that I found, so have a look…

Try The Baby Shower Plate Game!

Have you ever heard of the ribbon game that guests play at bridal showers? In this game, guests count how many ribbons the bride to be breaks or rips while opening up her gifts. It is said that the amount of ribbons that have broke will equal the number of kids the bride will have in the future.

This is similiar in nature. While playing, guests also count how many ribbons are broken while opening gifts. This can reflect the number of children that the mother is carrying or it can be a guess for how many hours she will be in labor.

As a fun twist to the game, the bows can be used to decorate one of the baby shower paper plates. After the decoration is complete, take a long ribbon and make a chin strap and give the mother to be a makeshift bonnet as a special souvenir of the game. And don’t forget to take a photograph of her wearing her lovely bonnet!

Another idea for a game is to secretly mark the bottom of a few of them using a marker, a sticker, a felt pen or a stamp. Once they have been marked, place them randomly into a stack of non-marked plates. When guests gather cake and refreshments, have them look at the bottom to see if it has been marked. You can give out a fun door prize to those with marked plates.

Using Paper Plates As Decorations

Using paper plates is a cute and simple way to decorate for a shower. Since you have already chosen those that go with the theme of your party, it is easy to match them up with the banners, streamers and ballons you plan to use to create a festive atmosphere in the party area. I suggest you arrange them in pretty patterns and tape them to the walls. You can also use them to keep streamers in place along the corners of the venue. So there you have it, a great idea for baby shower decorations!
