The Hoera een jongen hanging decoration is a set of three ornaments, each with a blue-and-silver spiral and a diamond-shaped card featuring a stork hanging below.
Hang them up at a baby shower while the new son is still on his way, or at the celebration after he arrives. Even during the first visit to the new parents, the blue tones immediately show that it is a boy.
Spirals, card and hanging mechanism
- You receive three separate ornaments, so you can hang them next to each other or spread them throughout the room.
- Each spiral consists of alternating dark blue and silver-colored ribbed segments with a glossy finish.
- At the bottom hangs a diamond-shaped card with a white stork carrying a baby in a blue blanket against a light blue sky with clouds.
- There is a thin thread at the top of the spiral and between the spiral and the card, with which you attach the ornament to the ceiling, a lamp, or a curtain rail.
- The color scheme is blue and silver, the traditional colors for the birth of a boy.
Why is a stork associated with baby shower decorations?
In old folk tales, the stork is the bird that brings the baby. That is why it has been featured on birth cards and celebration decorations for generations. In the Netherlands, blue is considered the color for a boy, and pink for a girl. Together, the stork and the color blue make it clear without words what is being celebrated. At a baby shower, the stork thus serves as an announcement, and during the celebration, as a welcome.
Blue and silver throughout the party room
The ornaments look best above the gift table or the cake table, as that is where guests naturally look. Combine the spirals with blue and silver balloons, and the color scheme will continue from the ceiling to the table. A garland along the wall or above the door completes the decoration in the rest of the room. Hang the three ornaments at different heights for a more playful look than a straight row.
