Baby Shower Prizes And Favors
The focus of every baby shower is helping provide the mother to
be with the tools she will need to fully care for her new little
one. Your baby shower will be no different! But offering your
guests baby shower prizes and favors that they can take home
with them to thank them for their gifts and commemorate the
special day is a gesture that is well worth the time spent in
preparation.
What Baby Shower Prizes Will You Choose?
Your baby shower guest list will likely include everyone from an
80 year old grandmother to a childless career minded adult to a
few kids of all ages - and men. What prizes will make all of
these people happy? That's the challenge. Here are a few ideas
for your baby shower game prizes:
* Purchase a variety of prize types and mark them so that you
know who to hand to whom when a winner of a certain age or
gender is ready to claim their prize.
* Everyone has to eat! Gift certificates for a pound of candy or
dinner at a local restaurant will be appreciated by all.
* For girls only parties, gifts like picture frames, picture
albums, candles, and bath and beauty products like bubble bath
and hand lotion will suit anyone.
What Baby Shower Favors Will You Choose?
Baby shower favors are somewhat more challenging than prizes for
the games. You may create bags for the men, bags for the women,
and bags for kids if you like, but it's easier if you have
something that you can give to everyone. Remember, the focus of
the baby shower is the baby and the new mom, so the favors can
focus on that rather than the guest in particular. Here are some
ideas:
* Small puzzles
* Inexpensive handheld games
* Chocolate
* A small picture frame for the new baby's picture
* A small candle and holder
Make Your Own Baby Shower Favors
A fun game for your baby shower could involve your guests making
their own baby shower favors as one of the games. Perhaps you
could provide doll parts so that everyone can create their own
baby, craftier friends may be interested in using fabric paints
on quilt squares to create hankies - even a do it yourself
cookie decorating party with some take home boxes make a great
baby shower favor and take the pressure off you of coming up
with another baby shower game!
