What are some DIY wedding decorations for a wedding shower?

A wedding shower is usually smaller and more relaxed, so your DIY can be quick and cheerful. Start with a paper garland made from circles or triangles strung on twine, which you can cut from scrapbook paper or old wrapping paper. Hang it across the mantelpiece, a door frame, or the food table. Make a banner with the couple's names or the word 'love' using card letters. For the table, use a plain tablecloth and add a runner of fresh flowers or greenery down the middle. Place small vases or teacups with a single bloom at each setting. Balloons in your colour scheme can be clustered in a corner or tied to chairs. You can also make a photo wall with string and pegs, asking guests to bring a printed photo of the couple, or use a polaroid camera for instant snaps. A dessert table can be styled with cake stands of different heights, which you can make by stacking plates and cups. Add a simple sign saying 'help yourself'. For a personal touch, make place cards with a small thank-you note on each. Keep it simple: the focus is on the people, not the décor.
