It’s Raining Baby Shower FavorsIn the last decade, I have been to more baby showers than stretch marks on my ever expanding and receding waistline. Not just my own showers, and there have been three mind you, but at least one for each of my nearest and dearest friends from high school, college, Junior League and plus a family sorority full of cousins and sister-in-laws. Don’t get me wrong, I love baby showers. Any chance to slip into a cute sun dress, pat a pregnant tummy that’s not my own and take home darling baby shower favors, gets moved up to the top of my social agenda.
After all the finger sandwiches have been nibbled and the collective “oohs and ahhs” have been liberally applied to the unwrapping of diaper pails and wipe warmers, nothing says “thank your for sharing my special day” like treating your guests to unique and thoughtful baby shower favors. I’ve always expectantly awaited this increasing popular party ritual just like an impatient child waiting to nab a goodie bag at a friend’s birthday soiree. As a prolific party attender, I’ve seen the highs and lows in baby shower favors and have outlined some ideas definitely worth reproducing.
Speaking from personal experience as a sweet tooth inflicted female, all baby shower favors that include fine chocolate, miniature cakes and cookies, and other take home treats score big with me (and my behind)! Fill classic Chinese take-out containers or organza pouches with truffles, chocolate almonds or dainty petit fours. If you’d prefer to just hint all this deliciousness but still create a tasteful baby shower favor, try packaging up homemade “create-it-later” cookie or brownie mix coupled with some clever cookie cutters.
Another fabulous idea, and so appropriate in these eco-friendly times, are baby shower favors that help futher the cause of green-ness and sustainability. Plantable wildflower cards or packets of seeds can be presented in terra cotta pottery cushioned with raffia shreds and embellished with free trade cotton ribbon. Once the garden has bloomed at home, your guests will naturally think of you and your new bundle of joy.
A tried and true baby shower favor that has always ranked high with me in the memory-making department are small picture frames that can be used as calligraphy written place cards for the party and then later filled with snapshots of from the event, pictures of the newborn or for the more narcissistic guest, portraits of herself. There is a vast choice of miniature frames around today. Choose everything from pink or blue baby themed frames to something to complement the party theme -- or even an understated yet sophisticated frame that would blend seamlessly into any home environment.
At So-Cute-Baby-Gifts.com you are sure to find a well-rounded selection of baby shower favors to make your baby shower affair a memorable one. Whether you select whimsical or sentimental baby shower favors, your guests are sure to delight in your heart-felt expression of gratitude.
