Baby showers are some of the best parties to host, wouldn't you agree? Next to the wedding, baby showers are the most likely event to reunite with friends you haven't seen in years. Old friends usually travel far and wide to help celebrate this special event, so it pays to return their generosity by throwing them a party filled with favors they won't soon forget!
Not only do guests bring gifts for the baby and mother-to-be, they spend their time, energy, and effort to attend at all. Hosts can return the effort by giving baby shower favors. These favors can be almost anything at all. They vary from useful and practical gifts to unique and sentimental. They can either be made by hand or bought in the store. Each type has its own advantages.
Store-Bought Favors
Store-bought favors are, let's face it, practical and fast. If you're a host squeezed for time, these are a great way to go. So many choices are available for a range of prices, especially online, that finding the perfect favor for your shower is just a matter of determination. And since buying online means the favors can be delivered to your front door, buying them using your mouse and keyboard is the fastest way to get this task done.
Is your internet connection down, or are you just not the online buyer type? No worries. You can always go to your local party supply store. They're sure to have a great selection of decorations and favors for your baby shower, though you may find that it's not as comprehensive as what you can find online. "Real" stores, however, do have a significant advantage over their online counterparts: you can actually touch and feel the merchandise!
Handmade Favors
For the ultimate in creativity and uniqueness, nothing beats handmade baby shower favors. They show off your imagination and stamp the gifts with your personality and thoughtfulness. What could be more fulfilling?
To get your creative juices flowing, here's one idea using common items that you can customize to suit your taste:
* small bottle of cleanser
* hand lotion
* little mints
* M&Ms
* brownies
* banana clips
* toothbrush
* deodorant
* Chinese carry-out box (available at craft stores)
* stickers
Just put the stickers on the carry-out boxes, and BAM! You've just made the perfect baby shower favor for your guests' next big trip, whether that's home or to Europe! And best of all, it was inexpensive, fun, practical, yet unique. I bet you've got your creative juices flowing now, huh?
Now, in case you want something a little more environmentally friendly, how about some nice house plants? Just put some herbs or other easily-maintained plant in some inexpensive pots and you've made a wonderful favor that will remind your guests for a long time to come about your bash! - 16955
