The Best Baby Shower Favors For Guests
As you start looking for baby shower party favors to give out at the shower you are holding for the new mother, be sure to keep a clear idea in your mind of the difference between what is meaningful to the mother and what is desirable as an actual gift. There are certain things a guest might enjoy right at the moment, which will signify the important events taking place in the new mother’s life, but which the shower guest might simply not want to take home with them. So keep an eye open for shower favors that will be pleasing.
A most unusual shower favor, which is a perfect example of the sort of thing that needs serious consideration, is a copy of the first ultrasound picture of the baby. Naturally, this is extremely meaningful to the mother, and she herself will never want to lose it. But when it comes to her friends or family members, often the initial interest in this picture stemmed from people being excited for the mother’s sake. It’s possible that the mother’s own mother or sister or other close relative would want such a picture as a keepsake, but that’s not likely true of everyone. So even if this sounds like the perfect baby shower party favor idea, be absolutely sure an ultrasound photo is the sort of thing all the guests would want.
Other shower favors might have a special meaning and would likely even be welcomed by the guests, but might then end up sitting on a shelf forever because they can’t actually be used for anything. One example of this might be the glass or crystal favors made in the shape of a baby’s pacifier. These are beautiful and unique baby shower decorations, but what on earth will the guests do with them two weeks from now? The idea is cute, but if you want something made of glass, you might do better to give little glass picture frames or photo coasters.
Sometimes the shower favors may be candies or chocolates given in interesting containers. You can give out decorative tins or little bamboo boxes, and these would be shower gifts that could be used again without just sitting and gathering dust later on. The point is that you need to fit the style and mood of these favors to the guests as well as to the mother, so that guests will always look at that little gift in later times and honor the memory of this special gathering.
