How To Make Owl Baby Shower Decorations
Owl centerpieces for brunch or tea party baby showers
Centerpieces are one of the easiest owl decorations in your baby shower. You only need to purchase owl-shaped vases and arrange flowers to decorate your party tables.
A tip is to use flowers that would fit the woodland theme or consider natural colors like brown and green on the other table decorations. Besides flowers, you can also use other rustic elements like twine, burlap ribbon, or tigs in owl containers as centerpieces.
If you can’t find owl vases, consider owl stickers and cutouts. Glue these owl details on centerpieces like containers, cages, and lanterns for a rustic or forest animal theme party.
Here are more tips on how to decorate baby shower tables.
Owl-themed baby shower backdrop
Transform the stage or cake backdrop using owl stickers or DIY printouts from colored paper. Start with plain fabric or place a wooden backdrop on the space and stick the owl decorations on it with glue or pins.
You can also make owl banners with letters inside each owl to spell out the baby shower. Garlands and balloons decorated for the owl theme will also help decorate the backdrop.
You can also highlight the party’s focal point with an arch made from tree branches where you can hang owl decorations.
Owl paper lanterns for outdoor baby showers
It’s easy to make lanterns, but you can also purchase cheap paper lanterns. Then, you can have owl stickers to look like silhouettes against the lanterns.
But if you have the time, you can create paper owls yourself. You can purchase templates for cutouts for quick and easy owl paper lanterns.
Alternatively, this tutorial shows you can fold paper to create round owl lanterns. You only need paper, glue, and scissors.
Edible owl baby shower desserts
To fully embrace the owl theme for the party, your desserts at the baby shower should also look like owls. You can decorate the party and serve the guests yummy food in cute owl designs.
They can even be your baby shower gifts or favors to the guests. For example, decorate cupcakes as owls or read the recipe below for an owl baby shower cake.
You can even arrange fruit platters into an owl to add to your snack table. Or, for a brunch baby shower, try an owl sandwich or waffles placed as owls.
