Are you planning a baby shower and looking for the best party favors for your celebration? You’re in the right place. In this post, I’ve curated a list of the best baby shower favors.
The Best Baby Shower Favors
Over the past 15 years, I’ve planned numerous baby showers, and one of my favorite parts is always selecting the favors for the shower. These little gifts are a simple way to thank your guests for attending the shower and leave them with a sweet reminder from the celebration.
Whether you’re hosting a gender reveal party, a traditional baby shower, or a modern co-ed celebration, choosing the right favors is a must.
This list of baby shower favors includes creative, budget-friendly, and even DIY ideas.
What Are Baby Shower Favors?
If you’re unfamiliar with baby shower favors, basically, they are a small gift/gesture to shower guests with gratitude and appreciation for attending the celebration. Baby shower favors can be anything you want them to be (edible treats, personalized items, keepsakes, etc).
How To Choose The Best Baby Shower Favors
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin searching for the perfect shower favors:
Theme and Style
One of the best ways to find a cute shower favor is by choosing something that matches the theme of the baby shower you’re throwing.
Consider Your Guest List
Think about the guests who will be attending the shower. Typically, a baby shower guest list will include a variety of ages, so you’ll want to keep this in mind when choosing a shower favor.
Budget
Before selecting shower favors, set a budget. A good rule of thumb I like to follow is $1-$5 per guest. There are great baby shower favors that you can find at every price point.
Personalization
Adding a personal touch to the favors, regardless of which one you choose, is always a lovely way to make the item more meaningful. This can be as simple as attaching a little tag to each item that says “Thanks for celebrating” and includes the mom-to-be’s name and shower date.
Usefulness
I like to choose shower favors that are useful. That way, it’s more likely that guests will use them, and it won’t be something that just ends up getting tossed out.
