A baby shower is a party in which parents receive gifts for



their expected child or born child. This days due to new

ideas, concepts, themes, games, and changes in etiquette or

culture some people prefer to hold showers after the birth

of the baby. Traditionally, a baby shower is held only for

the mother-to-be, and only women attend.

Do you remember going to birthday parties as a little kid?

I guess you will! You always came home with a goodies bag.

Sometimes it would contain sweet, candy, bubbles or a

pinwheel. It was so fun to go to someone else's birthday

and come up with a little present for yourself.

Bring a present – get a present are traditional activities

that are common at baby showers.. But choosing the right

gifts for the shower party can be challenging considering

that there are so many choices when it comes to choosing

party favors for the baby shower that it can often be

overwhelming. We still get to do that as grown-ups … only

now we call them "favors." It sounds much more dignified,

don't you agree?

Generally, shower party events is center on gift-giving,

hence it will be a nice gesture to have something that your

guests can take home with them after the festivities are

finished. If your shower will be like most, you'll probably

play some silly games such as baby shower bingo, guess the

baby food flavor: guests have to taste-test several flavors

of baby food and try to identify them, other games include

a diaper throw game, and the diapers have candies or

chocolate stuff etc. No game would be complete without

prizes or favors.

But no one likes to leave empty handed. You should have

some small favors for everyone to take home, whether or not

they've won a game. How about a little tin candle with a

custom label that reads "Your friendship lights my day.

Thank you for bringing sweet joy and fulfillment to my

family. Thanks for being part of my special day"?

Almost everyone likes chocolate. Little boxes of chocolate

that read, "You're so sweet. Thanks for coming to my baby

shower." Or a little package of nuts wrapped in tulle,

"You're nuts. But that's why we're friends – thank you for

coming to my shower, thank you for making my shower

special."

Lotion is always a good little favor for women. Be careful

not to get something too fragrant – as some people are

bothered by strong scents. The truth is that it doesn't

really matter what you offer as a favor. It's a small token

of your appreciation for the time your friends devoted to

celebrate your baby.

I will say this; your favor should be something they can

use. Even it is it s small bud vase with dried flowers from

your garden. When deciding what you'll have for little

favors, try to think of something unique but inexpensive

and "What is not going to end up in the trash as soon as

they leave?"

Perhaps you could give your guests a small gift booklet and

inscribe something sweet on the inside cover: "I appreciate

your wisdom and support of my new baby." Or "Thanks for all

times I've cried on your shoulder, I appreciate you." Or if

you don't feel very sentimental how about simply: "Thanks

for coming to my baby shower. Thank you for bringing sweet

joy and fulfillment to my family.

Baby shower favors don't have to be anything expensive,

fancy, but something to show your appreciation to your

guest for being part of your special day. Nothing would

comes close to ending this unique and special occasion than

to have baby shower favors that would reflect the high

spirits of gladness and joy of all the people who came to

celebrate the upcoming arrival of the new or born baby.
