Baby Shower Party Favors

Baby shower party favors are one of those nice touches at the baby shower. It’s common for the host or hosts to give small, thoughtful baby shower favors to each of the guests to thank them for coming. These are small gifts that are in addition to the game prizes that some guests may have won during the shower. Some hosts like for the favors to tie in with the theme of the shower, but it’s up to you!


When should you give out the baby shower favors? It’s up to you! You may want to decorate with them. For instance, depending what you choose, they can help decorate the tables. You can also use the party favors to help add some color here by placing them around the room. Then again, you might want to save the favors for the end of the shower. So that you don’t forget to give someone their favor, you might put all of them out on a table so that your guests can take on when they’re leaving the shower.
