Candles

If the baby shower takes place at a time of day when it is getting darker, or on a particularly dull day, then candles can creative a lovely ambiance in a room. Not recommended if you are expecting toddlers and young children to be coming along though. Here are some ideas on using candles:

*Buy coloured tea-lights to match you theme and dot them around the room/table
*Light plain tea-lights in coloured tea-light holders to match the theme
*Arrange floating candles in a glass bowl
*A centrepiece of candles of varying heights
*Avoid strongly scented candles in areas where you are serving food as it can detract from the flavour of the food
