You ordered the invitations. Pulled out your fancy serving dishes. But what is missing? I know, your table needs a centerpiece. Why yes, it does. It can serve as a nice focal point, in case people need a reminder for why they are there drinking mimosas on a Saturday afternoon, as well as being a practical gift for the parents-to-be. First you will need to buy some supplies: Bottle of champagne: Ah, yes, this is the critical difference with this Alpha Mom diaper cake. No rolled up baby bibs or receiving blankets here. (Does anyone even use those blankets?) This goes in the center of the cake. It is for the parents to bring to the hospital with them to break over the bow of the baby like the QE2. Instead of playing the good girl, you could put a bottle of a scotch in there. Or whiskey. Or vodka. Well, you get the idea. Other guests might talk about you afterward in hushed tones, but in a few months the new parents will be thanking you. Especially if you have tucked a couple pair of earplugs in there too. Serving platter: I bought the one in the photograph at Target for under $20. You could alternately cut a circle out of heavy cardboard or plywood. Size one diapers, yes newborn diapers are adorable and oh so tiny, but many babies don't wear them very long if at all. At least the size 1 diapers you know will be used. Alpha Mom says that the best diapers to include in the diaper cake are the relatively-new Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive that include a wetness indicator, perfect for new moms as initially it's tough to tell whether a baby needs a diaper change. Also, look for the specially-marked package of Pampers whereby every purchase equals one life-saving vaccine donated through Unicef. Elastic bands, get a whole bag of them. Any ones you have leftover you can shoot at your children should they come near the finished diaper cake before you have a chance to photograph it. Not that I did that or anything. White tissue paper, one package that is usually used for gift bags is sufficient Decorative ribbon- here you get to decide what color you want. I wanted something that was not the traditional pastel baby colors. Wide white satin ribbon Not wired. Just the cheap stuff they sell in the craft store with the wedding accessories Decorative accents - I went with the so ugly they are cute Ugly dolls. What isn't to love about these little guys?
