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.
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.
