We all want our baby shower day remembered by our guests and one sure way to do this is by arranging to have practical baby shower favors organized. The reason you may want to do this is simple; inexpensive baby shower favors or simple ones tend to be either used on the day or discarded fairly soon after the baby shower.
Practical gifts are given more value by the guests themselves and are more likely to create that nostalgic feeling you would like. Flowers and candy left in the center of the table are baby shower party favors which bring about good feelings on the day, but how many baby shower guests will keep them after that.
Coasters are becoming popular baby shower favors and can be bought plain or they can be themed to your baby shower, plus it is also possible to buy them in different shapes including heart shaped. If you don’t want to have special shapes then a regular square or circle will do very nicely but the addition of your theme will make them that little bit special and will always provide memories each time they are used. Special images of the themed baby shower can easily be placed on the coasters but it is just as easy to only place one image on the coasters and leave the rest blank so each guest can place their favorites on them when they are ready.
Having a practical baby shower favor that can be carried with you all the time isn’t a bad idea and key chains fit this criterion very well although you will need to have a shape that suits men and another for women. Choosing one that has the right blend of sturdiness and can also be viewed romantically by the women and another for the men may be difficult but it will be an excellent reminder of your baby shower day.
Another popular baby shower favor but practical nonetheless are candles as they can be used at anytime but come in a wide variety of styles. Candles are still very romantic and in recent years they have become en vogue again and now many people use them routinely, especially scented candles as they provide a nice light and can be very calming. Let’s be honest, how many of us have candles alight when we sit in a restaurant and thoroughly enjoy the experience so there is little likelihood of them being stored in a box and never used.
If you want to stay with a romantic theme, and after all it is a baby shower favor, then why not consider wine charms which can have baby shower bells or heart shapes and are rather appropriate for a baby shower. Very few people actually have these charms in their home but can be very useful when you have friends around and need to distinguish who owns a particular drink. For anyone that has been to a party with many people in attendance it is very easy to put you glass down somewhere and either lose it or someone else drink from it.
