Baby Shower Favor Ideas

Whether you are planning a baby shower for your daughter or daughter-in-law, sister or friend, there are so many items on the checklist which need your immediate attention. Thinking about what type of baby shower favor ideas to thank family and friends for attending, while important, can be affordable and less time consuming in the preparation. Here are a few ideas.

For example, a grandmother-to-be gave a potted plant to the guests. There was no need for wrapping, but a pink and blue ribbon tied around the top of the pot to make it festive and attractive was utilized.

While this is just one idea, there are a host of baby shower favors which can be given to commemorate the occasion. Some include personalizing a scented candle with wrapping that includes the name of the mom-to-be and the date of the shower. Another is making up a sachet of candies in colorful tissue paper and ribbon which also denotes the name of the mom-to-be and date of the shower, or preparing homemade cookies using pink and blue frosting with the date of the event.

Baby shower favor ideas depend upon affordability and type of baby shower given. Perhaps a small baby frame can be purchased in bulk, and decoratively wrapped for each guest. If the mom-to-be knows the sex of the baby, then of course you can wrap baby shower favors in either blue or pink.

Years ago, baby shower favors consisted of candies, placed in a sachet made of tulle and wrapped with a ribbon which reflected the name of the mom-to-be and date of the shower. These were prepared at home and took quite a bit of time. Today, however, there are so many choices for baby shower favors that it mostly depends on the budget and, in some cases, the theme of the party.

Whether it’s a scented candle, a bar of chocolate, a miniature vase, or an item that is personalized more than decorative is usually the most practical. Certainly with a few customized labels which you can print at home, you can take any item and create a lovely gift that all guests will admire. Again, it all depends upon your budget.

If course, there are trendy baby shower favors which are expensive, but which reflect the taste and personality of the mom-to-be. Items such as cosmetic gift bags, small keepsake boxes, and other items such as a small gift bag filled with bath and body lotions may be chosen.

Whether the baby shower is held at someone’s home, a favorite restaurant, or a hired hall –and even though baby shower favor ideas have grown in creativity and expense, no matter what favor is chosen, it is still a lovely way of thanking those in attendance for partaking in this festive occasion.
