Baby Shower Decorations & Ideas

hey,

 

This is super last minute...but does anyone have any baby shower decorations that I could use for a last minute shower i am throwing on saturday morning? It's nothing major- long story short, i am throwing it for a girl due in september who is going through very unfortunate times, no father in the picture, so i wanted to just do something nice for her/ make her feel special. 

 I'm in East Falls and could pick up stuff tomorrow after work (after 5) for the shower that is on Saturday Morning. I can't get any more last minute! I forgot about the nest as I haven't been on here since my wedding (october 2010). So i apologize for my absence. 

 Also, any ideas would be great! I haven't really been to a shower nor have I ever thrown one. Again, it is low key, not very extravagant, probably not many present will be brought (so no baby bingo- i have heard of that game, lol). I've been collecting free things that I am going to be giving her as a present (stroller, carrier, bath tub, things like that...)

Thanks so much ladies!!

    Good Luck on the party. Instead of driving around picking up stuff. I would spend $20 at Target and get some balloons, and streams, maybe a few lanterns and call it good.

    The Dollar Tree does helium ballons.  Do you have a Produce Junction near you?  You could get some flowers for cheap too.

    Party City or a similar store will have banners, etc. you can hang.  Sometimes Dollar Tree also has decorations so check there.  Good luck!

    I'm in East Falls too so let me know if there is anything specific you're looking for and I'll let you know if I know where to find it. Besides the Target, there is a Michael's in Bala Cynwyd with a small selection of baby shower items. The Produce Junction (if you wanted flowers) is a little further. Head down route 1 and take a left on to Bryn Mawr Ave (just before the Rite Aid) it's about a mile down the road. I'm pretty sure they close at 5:00 on week days but they open pretty early if you were able to swing in Saturday morning before the shower. A little further down route 1 is a Dollar Tree where you can get balloons and other party supplies. Good luck!

    Lizzie, If you ever find your way back to this board, I think you might live across the street from me. Or maybe it was just by chance that one of my neighbors held a baby shower on the same day you held yours. -NQ
