Vintage Baby Shower Decor Ideas
Several weeks ago I purchased an antique baby scale for a friend. When I gave it to her I said there was only one stipulation, she had to let me borrow it for a baby shower I was doing. She of course agreed and I designed the entire theme of the shower around the vintage scale! It was the perfect table decor.
My friend did a photo shoot with the baby guest of honor and the sale was also the perfect thing to hold a photo of Baby Hope laying in the same scale!
I collected other vintage items from around my house and especially Tessa’s room. I had to dig out the box of baby nursery decor that had been packed away years ago. There are advantages to saving stuff! It will come in handy!
The old baby booties with a votive candle holder inside became the perfect thing to put on top of the Peter Rabbit books.
I also covered the table with a lovely old vintage quilt I had picked up in a vintage shop. A bouquet of hydrangeas from my garden was the perfect touch
The pink pom poms from Tessa’s sixteenth birthday party were also a perfect addition hanging from the kitchen nook ceiling.
I also used lots of pictures of pretty Baby Hope on the table for the baby shower.
In frames….
as a collage on a vintage wire rack….
I also hung some little vintage dresses that usually hang as a valance in Tessa’s room on a ribbon clothesline.
I used my mother’s hostess trays. I love those things and remember my mother using them at various showers she would hold while I was growing up.
Baby Shower Food Ideas
The baby shower was in the evening so for food I wanted a combination of sweet and savory.
We had fruit salsa and cinnamon chips.
Hummus and Pita Chips
Sundried Tomato Pesto Palmiers are a delicious savory treat.
And this yummy Ooey Gooey Berry Cake with fresh berries! So pretty and delicious!
There were also Lovely Lime Cupcakes.
The food was yummy and the company delightful. The new mommy and baby got lots of darling things too! Every new mommy deserves a special baby shower!

What a beautiful and lucky baby with a shower to match! You will make a wonderful grandma someday Leigh Anne.
I must be vintage as I’m sure I had a scale like that for my first babies. I also had a set of hostess trays with matching cups just like those that alas got broken on the way home from a party I had given with my friend.
