Baby Shower Favors - Today's Trends
Baby showers have always been one of the nicest ways to celebrate the arrival of a precious new life.
Traditionally, a baby shower was a small gathering of relatives and close friends of the mother-to-be
held at a favorite aunt's house. The party was usually a surprise, the guest list was all female,
refreshments consisted of punch and cake, gifts of baby clothes were in yellow and light green and
guest party favors, if given at all, consisted of a few mints wrapped in tulle.
Baby Shower Favors and Ideas for Creative Showers
Times have changed! Today there are office baby showers, coed baby showers and large luncheons
at upscale restaurants. Most expectant mothers take part in the planning of the shower or at least
have some input into the guest list, registries are used for gift-giving, the sex of the baby is usually
known by the time the shower is planned, and baby shower favors are an important part of the event!
Finding unique baby shower favors is as much a part of baby shower planning today as organizing
the guest list, finding the perfect location and choosing the menu. Internet businesses have made the
task easier for the hostess with offerings that include candles, chocolates, soaps, ornaments,
plantable seed favors, custom-made favors, favors imported from Europe, magnets, baby-themed
cookies, frames and tea and coffee favors. Baby shower party favors can be almost anything you
imagine!
Themed Baby Shower Centerpieces and baby shower favors
From the invitations to the decorations, the centerpieces and especially the baby shower party favors,
most hostesses start with an overall theme. Whether baby shower favor ideas start with the baby's
nursery colors or as based on favorite themes - Noah's Ark, nursery rhymes, rubber duckies, teddy
bears, rocking horses, elephants, bunnies or baby carriages - everything is coordinated. Whatever
the choice of theme or favor, however, emphasis is being put on making the baby shower favors
special and customized by personalizing them in some way, usually with personalized ribbon. The
result of all this planning is a beautiful event with themed baby shower favors and centerpieces that
reflect the joy surrounding the arrival of a new life.
