Adoption Shower: Table Center Pieces (Part II)

Table center pieces can be a great accent to set the tone of your adoption shower, but what if you are celebrating a domestic adoption?  Instead of using country flags, there are plenty of alternatives to celebrate adoption.


Adopted With Love ornaments in pink or blue can be a great way to accessorize your adoption shower.  Hang them from an ornament stand, and place them in the middle of each table.

Want to personalize them even more?  No problem! Grab a Sharpie and add a name and adoption date in the hearts!

Don't want to focus so much on the adoption aspect but more on the love being shared by all those involved in the adoption process?  How about an ornament that emphasizes loving families?

Or just focus on the love everyone has for the adoptee, to which there is no end:

Once you have picked out your center piece ornament, you can easily accessorize everything else: matching balloons, confetti, cupcakes, ...

Adoption Shower: Table Center Pieces (Part I)

Table center pieces can be a great accent to set the tone of your adoption shower.  When celebrating an intercountry adoption, the country’s flag can serve as a great basis.  Using a very simple flag, you can make some very creative and festive center pieces on a small budget if you incorporate napkins and confetti.

Indian Flag Table Center Piece

Here is an idea with the Chinese flag.  We placed the flag on top of a red napkin, and laid gold confetti stars on the napkin to imitate the pattern of the flag. Very easy to do! The flag and base are available in our store and the napkins can be found at any party or dollar store in your area.

Another idea, as shown with the Indian flag, is placing the flag in a small vase filled with beads. We found this little glass vase for $1 at our local dollar store and filled it with decorative clear beads and orange metallic confetti.

You can expand on this idea by adding confetti with words, and also sprinkle confetti around the vase. This looks really nice on round tables!

And of course these ideas can also be combined with two flags to show the joining of two cultures in one family.
