Make room for baby...showers! It seems like every time I check my mailbox I find an invite for a baby shower. Showers can become a bit of a drag when it feels like you've been to so many of the same kind. The themes, colors, games, and decorations can look recycled and old. Here are a few fresh, inventive ideas from some bloggers we just love!

First up, this reinvented classic from one of our faves - Hostess with the Mostess.

These carnation centerpieces are gorgeous! Not to mention they can be a breeze to put together, and carnations are usually inexpensive!

Candy buffets are all the rage and of course the HWTM created a beautiful display that matched the theme perfectly without being too overwhelming.

We found one of THE cutest, most cost-effective crafts EVER over at How Does She? Incorporating DIY accents into parties and events is one of our favorite approaches to party planning and Shelly's ideas are all about creativity.

This particular idea comes from Shelly's friend Jenn. Um, can we say ADORABLE? A napkin transformed into a baby dress!!  Seriously. Too cute for words...have a look.

See? I told you! Too cute!

And note, these are paper napkins. SO budget-friendly, super easy to make and we promise, guests won't stop gushing over them. LOVE!
