While it would be nice to have an unlimited budget for baby shower decor (and all the other fun stuff), it’s just not a reality. Not for me, anyway. And you know what? I have been to some fancy shindigs before and I think the most important thing for the mom-to-be at a baby shower is to be surrounded by loved ones in a relaxed environment. Here’s something else: I’ve also learned that you can create beautiful baby shower decor on a budget. My secret trick: balloons. No other decor element can so easily, affordably set the mood for a baby shower quite like balloons. Here, I’ve rounded up easy baby shower decor ideas all starring — you guessed it — balloons.
