Show Your Guests You Care By Sharing Baby Shower Party Favors at Your Baby Shower Celebration

You have planned the perfect baby shower for your special friend, now the only thing left to do is come up with the finishing touches, baby shower party favors. After you have conceptualized and prepared for the party, never forget to prepare a small token of thanks for your guests coming to the party.

Baby shower party favors don’t have to be complicated or expensive to make an impressionable impact for the memories of your guests. The favors may be simple things that can be ordered in bulk, and then personalized for the celebration.

But of course this is the easy way out if you need baby shower party favors in a pinch. If your planning is going well and you still have ample time to gather materials you may want to consider creating unique party favors. If you have some baking skills you may want to consider baking personalized chocolates and cookies by shaping them into baby item shapes.  You can have rattle-, baby shoes-, book-, or teddy bear-shaped pastries.

When you are choosing baby shower party favors, make sure that you have also considered the theme of the baby shower.  As much as possible, have the party favor coordinate with the baby shower theme. If you are uncertain what favors might be well received, go over the guest list with your mom-to-be and try to get a feel for the personality of the ladies attending. If your theme has something to do about fairy tales, cartoon characters, animals or toys, your baby shower favors may be a miniature version of these toys.

Or if you aren’t the creative type and have a sense of humor you might even consider some “gag” gift items as party favors including stickers (which are sure to be well received from the children of guests). Another great idea for baby shower party favors is to have each guest bring a “white elephant gift”. The concept behind the white elephant gifts generally happens around the holiday season, if your friend is expecting their child in December.

The White elephant gift theme usually has the quests bring an anonymous gift to a party for exchange. This may include silly items such as used household appliances, a roll of toilet paper or an open box of Oreo cookies.

Your guests are encouraged to wrap these gifts, usually in oversized boxes or weird shaped boxes, and then have each member of the party select a number and draw gifts. Using white elephant gifts as party favors is a great way to share laughter and joy in a baby shower situation and serve as excellent baby shower party favors. If your baby shower has a general theme or no theme at all you may want to consider using soap as a baby shower party favor. Soaps are quickly becoming the choice favor given away at baby showers simply because of how cheaply they can be purchased.

You can choose fragrant soaps and wrap them in decorative papers, or place them in decorative gift boxes or bags. You can also make homemade soaps and shape them into baby-related items.

If you are limited on time and really would prefer to just purchase the soaps you can also purchase regular soap bars and carve them into baby shapes. Just make sure the soaps are hard enough that these won’t crack when you start carving them. Whatever your case may be, or what baby shower party favors you have chosen, make sure that you have included thank you note on the baby shower party favor.

The thank you note should include the date, the name of the baby (or the parent’s names), and a message of thanks. It is better if a special poem was composed to be included in the thank you note.  Also, you can just choose free poems online and have these printed together with the thank you note. With these, you can let your guests know how much you have appreciated their presence in celebrating your baby’s birth.
