If you are in charge of planning a baby shower, thinking of imaginative decorations and baby shower favor ideas can be the hardest part of the planning. You want something that the shower guests can use, but that donít cost an arm and a leg. At the same time, the favors shouldn’t overwhelm the purpose of your shower which is to recognize the new mother or mother-to-be.
Candles are always a good choice for shower favors. Look for a variety of scents. Spicy smells, floral smells or herbal aromas are all popular. Candles can be used in most homes with success. Even aromatherapy candles are good to remind the new mother and all the guests to take time to relax. Candles are readily available and if you make your own you can find unusual molds to shape the wax. Candle styles can vary too. The baby bottle candle in either pink or blue is popular. An angel candle in a holder stays with the theme of a shower.
Key chains make a nice favor for any purpose. Some people even collect key chains. How about a selection of chains such as a rubber ducky, a lamb a dove, a cross or a baby bassinet? You can find these in most specialty stores or even online.
Picture frames are always popular for shower favors. The theme of the shower can be carried out in the favor choice. Regardless of the frame style, you can put a picture of the guest in the frame as a place marker for the table. They would hold the place cards equally well.
Food items are popular as favors. Almost anything small and flavorful can be appropriate. Candy kisses, coffee and tea packets, mints or mini candy bars in all sorts of containers that are usable for other purposes once the candy is gone are great favor ideas.
Some decorative pieces that make gifts for the purpose of beauty only include a tiny crystal bootie with a silver bow. Or, you might choose a crystal baby carriage that can also hold some candy or an assortment of tea packets.
Baby shower favor ideas don’t have to be purchased, you can use items that you create yourself for really unique gifts. However, most people arranging a baby shower want to use the time for planning rather than for doing. Purchasing the favors allows you to have more time and creativity to put into the party planning.
