Cheap but Classy Flamingo Baby Shower Party Decoration Ideas (all

This ISN’T SPONSORED, I was just SO impressed with all of the fun flamingo things that we found at the Dollar Tree for my sister’s recent baby shower! We did an open house so people could come and go and get to visit with my sister and hold the baby.

Hands down, the highlight of the flamingo party decorations was the balloon barland (you can see it behind my sister’s head! Can you believe I made this tropical balloon garland ALL with items from the Dollar Tree?

And the nice part is, you can make it 1-2 days in advance and the balloons hold up just fine. I couldn’t find a picture of the green felt flower decorations that I cut up for the large leaves, but you can’t miss them at the store!

They have multiple colors, but like I said, I wanted some more green foliage and they worked perfectly! Now that I’ve made this tropical balloon garland once, I’m excited to try it for other events other than our flamingo theme.

It made such a big impact and was the focal point of our baby shower!

I only used 3 or 4 full-sized balloons, the rest I filled up half and 1/3 as full. Basically, grab a small handful of the strands of the grass skirt, cut, and tie the whole bunch on to the rope in between the balloons. Since it was for a Flamingo Baby Shower, I thought this free printable was PERFECT!

But it really made a big impact and help set the tropical feel of the party. – Extra green pieces from the tropical balloon garland for filler in the jar.

Place flamingo (standing on metal legs that come with it) in jar I pulled the heads off of the straws and stuck them into the donut holes to make these flamingo cupcakes!

Ok, so the tropical balloon garland was the fan favorite at the baby shower, but these flamingo cupcakes were a close second!!! Not bad for a white boxed cake mix and pre-packaged frosting!

Strawberry Mousse & Lime Jello dessert cups that look like watermelons! I also love how these pretty paper straws add instant jazz and life to any flamingo party!

We were supposed to have real limes for the lemonade, but somehow they got forgotten so I printed some off quick!

We then added Strawberry Lemonade (from the Dollar Tree — in 2 liter bottles). It was good…but even better with some champagne added to make a strawberry lemonade mimosa! And of course, the most obvious use of the Dollar Tree when throwing a party, is the fun serving dishes!

And the best part is that we’ll have fun reusing many of the flamingo and tropical items throughout the summer! I hope you found a few helpful ideas for your flamingo themed baby shower or party!

And if you want to make an incredibly AWESOME (but EASY) cake that will really get people at your party talking, check out this Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake! Or, if you prefer something less chocolate (I don’t understand, but this is incredibly good, too!)
