It is not an old tradition giving favors at baby showers but it is a very thoughtful idea. The idea has come about because baby showers are now seen as a chance for all the family and a wide circle of friends to get together to celebrate the coming birth. Having a memento to take away with you from the celebration is especially meaningful.
Baby shower favors can take many forms. They can be personalized with the names of the parents-to-be as an added touch. Choosing a suitable baby shower favor to go with the theme of your event could not be easier as they come in so many different forms. You would not believe the variety available from china/crystal ornaments, scented candles, petit fours, Personalized Baby Shower Candy Jars, themed mint tins to cookies and practical novelty kitchen items.
It is really up to you how far you take this idea and it needed not cost you a fortune the idea is purely for guests to take away a keepsake of the event. I would be equally as thrilled to receive an exquisitely personalized boxed piece of the baby shower cake as to receive some personalised baby powder scented votive candles to keep alongside my invitation and eventually the birth announcement.
