Thanks Ashley for letting me share your friend’s baby shower photos! Ashley organized a funky and modern baby shower using some pink (for a baby girl!) with mixtures of yellow and black. I absolutely love the simplicity and various DIY decorations of this theme! The black and white striped paper straws matched the theme nicely, along with handmade thick paper stripe decors that ran down the wall and the back of the chairs. The choice of these Jumbo balloons was perfect too! A truly perfect modern baby shower ideas! The giant balloons were ordered from amazon, the washi tape from Etsy shop, and the paper straws were purchased from Moko Market.
Here are the lovely photos by Ashley from Vauvasaurus:

What is a Diaper Cake?
Diaper Cake is an arrangement of rolled diapers stacked in such a way as to look like a multi-layered cake. You can make a simple diaper cake using colored ribbon to match the theme along with some artificial flowers or just a themed soft toy topper.
If you want to go a bit further, you can decorate the cake with pacifiers, lotions, bibs, rattles, toys, towels, socks, pants, baby nail clippers etc.
Diaper Cake Decoration
If you’re planning a diaper cake for party decor, consider incorporating a stuffed animal or doll to fit with the theme. This adorable teddy bear diaper cake would make the perfect eye-catching piece of decor for any baby shower.
The cake uses a simple tiered system, however, unlike some diaper cakes, this cake uses a large stuffed bear in baby clothing as a part of cake. It appears that the bear is climbing up the cake. The double ribbons holding the diapers together also adds a lovely touch.
