Baby Shower Party Favor Ideas

After a fun afternoon playing baby shower games, everyone wants to leave the party with an adorable

favor. It's what completes the experience. Cool favors are what make your baby shower extra special.

The baby shower hostess may sometimes take weeks going back and forth between the different

possibilities. I've been to quite a few baby showers in my time, and let me tell you, I've seen the good,

the bad, and the ugly. In this article I'll give you 5 examples of favors that have caught my eye.

Hopefully you'll really like at least one of these ideas.

1- Crystal Baby Bottle Key Chains

A key chain is something useful and everyone uses it daily. Since favors should be memoirs, key

chains will be a daily reminder of the baby for family and friends. You can tie the baby bottle key

chain in tulle cloth and have an elegant ivory ribbon around it. For an even more sophisticated look,

have the baby's name inscribed in gold letters on the ribbon. If the baby doesn't have a name yet, use

the parent's names. Some people will love the favor so much, they won't use it. This is fine too since

it can be used to decorate a mantle or another corner of their home.

2- Baby Shower Cookie

If the mommy or daddy to be love cookies, then this favor will please them very much. Choose a

theme for the cookies that match the overall theme of the party and of course express something

personal about the parents. You can have a variety of different cookies in the same color combination

but in different shapes. For example; if you're throwing a fall themed baby shower you can have

pumpkins, acorns, squirrels and leaf shapes with orange, yellow, and brown colored icing. A good

thing about this favor is the fact that guests don't have to feel bad that the cookie won't last more than

a day. They can eat it and feel appreciated for coming: mission accomplished. The perfect favor if you

ask me.

3- Porcelain Baby Doll

The great thing about this favor is that it's very pretty and it lasts a long time. Women and girls will be

able to decorate their rooms with this favor. You can have the baby doll styled in whatever theme

you've chosen for your event. The only drawback is that this kind of favor may not appeal to men in

attendance if you're throwing a couples baby shower. In that case, you can always have a different

favor for the guys.

4- Cold Porcelain Themed Magnet

A magnet is a useful item and also a great reminder in the home of the new arrival of the baby. Get

creative and make different types of magnets in the theme and the color scheme that you've chosen

for your shower. For example: if you've chosen to have a nautical baby shower you can have

lifesavers, anchors, sailor babies, and boats as magnets. Display your magnet favors on a 3 tiered

tray on a special table just for them. That way it will be easier to hand them to guests as they leave

the party.

5- Polaroid Favor Idea

Have someone take a picture of the mommy to be and each guest as they are leaving the shower.

Make sure it's one of those instant pictures. That way, the hostess hands the picture along with a

picture frame to the guest.

I have one more piece of advice when you're thinking about what to do for baby shower souvenirs.

Try to be creative and innovate. Give it some heart. It doesn't have to be anything amazing; it just has

to be something that shows appreciation and adds a smile to your guests' faces.
