Baby showers can be nearly as much fun to plan as they are to attend. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to get much done in advance if you don't have the space around your home to store the centerpieces, games and decorations that will be used for the shower. That is where a mini-storage unit will come in handy! Talk to a storage company like All American Mini Storage to learn more about mini-storage. Below, you will find some tips that can help you store the supplies for the baby shower in a way that will keep them safe and in good condition until the day of the shower.
Flower Arrangements
If you are planning to have some pretty pink, blue or combination flower arrangements at the shower, you can make them in advance and store them in your storage unit if you use silk flowers. Silk flowers can look just as pretty as fresh flowers, but you don't have to worry about the flowers wilting or not coming in on time.
As you create the arrangements, cover them loosely with tissue paper and set them carefully inside a box or bin. Crumple up additional tissue paper to place between the arrangements to make it possible to box several arrangements in a single box.
Centerpieces
You can find a large number of ideas for adorable and pretty centerpieces for baby showers that can be made for very little money. Something as simple as mason jars filled with blue and pink candies with a flower or two coming out of the top could be all that you need to dress up the table.
If you are looking for a more formal centerpiece, consider using glass vases with water inside of them. Then, you can float a few candles inside and finish the edges with ribbons.
Whatever you choose, you should wrap each centerpiece with tissue paper to keep them clean and box them carefully to ensure they don't get damaged while you transport them from storage to the location of the shower.
Diaper Cakes
Most baby showers include at least one diaper cake. If you purchase a pre-made diaper cake, you could save yourself some time, but you will spend a lot more on it than you would if you made your own.
Once you have the diaper cake, it is important that you carefully box it up so that it is protected from dust and becoming damaged while you move it around. Use crumpled tissue paper to pack the open areas of the box to ensure that the cake doesn't shift around while you transport it.
The storage unit that you use to store the supplies should be climate-controlled. This will prevent moisture and heat exposure and keep everything in tip-top shape for the day of the shower. Now, you can get to work making or buying everything for the shower ahead of time and still have room to live in your home.
