They say it’s better to give than to receive. However, baby showers are a time when new parents embrace receiving as they prepare for a new addition. Strollers, diapers, onesies, and toys are all items that can keep new parents and little ones happy and comfortable in those early days and beyond. As a thank you, the expecting parent(s) may wish to give guests a small token of appreciation. Enter baby shower favors.
Though certainly not required — or a replacement for a thank you card — baby shower favors can be a sweet way to bid farewell to guests. Sometimes, the favors are literally sweet — edible gifts like candies or chocolates are often a hit. Other times, favors can double as a keepsake from the day. Think bottle openers, candles, and other items guests can use in their homes.
Favors can tie into a theme, such as tea at a tea party, or simply be something the guest of honor thinks their loved ones will enjoy. Truly, there are no rules, which may leave some stumped on what to choose. From cookies to candles and potted plants in between, these baby shower favors will make guests feel loved and appreciated.
