Hosting a baby shower can be fun and tiring, but maintaining a focus on the purpose can make all the details fall into place. Keeping the process simple and organized not only ensures a success, but makes for an enjoyable experience. Whether you are giving your first baby shower or your fifth, this article will help make the planning fun and the event enjoyable for both you, your guests and the expecting mother.
When it comes to celebrating the arrival of the newest addition to the family, there is no better way to set the tone and share in the excitement of the expecting parents than with a baby shower. While many think that showers are just to give or receive gifts, it's the gifts of time and love that are most remembered. As the marketplace grows offering a multitude of objects, the trend in baby shower favors and gifts is personalization and function. Face it, we all love something that makes us feel special and we appreciate things that can be used and enjoyed.
So for both the gift giving to the guest of honor and the baby shower favors for attending guests, keep in mind that personalization is key. With this at the core, you can better maintain perspective and eliminate stress on details that really don't matter. Make the baby shower favors memorable, the atmosphere light and relaxed and ensure that all guests feel comfortable is far more important than which menu items to serve, or which games to play.
When it comes to selecting baby shower favors, remember that there are many ways to personalize a gift and make it unique. This doesn't mean you have to personalize each favor for each guest, but adding a little personality of the expecting parents to the favors can make a favor go from a trinket to a treasure. Doing your initial selection and shopping online can eliminate much of the running around and also provide more information about different items. You can find a host of unique baby shower favors from online retailers that specialize in everything from discount to designer, expensive, functional or purely for fun.
Baby shower favors not only send thanks to the guests for attending the event, but it's a great way to remind them of the day shared. Popular favors include items like Baby is Brewing coffee kits, or the Love Beyond Measure spoons that come with cute heart shaped measuring spoons. These are items that can be used is something that can be easily personalized by adding a personalized sticker to the package. Other items such as personalized chocolate bars, or my favorite personalized chocolate lollipops, like those from The Shower Foundry are always a hit. Tea is another rising trend and incorporating personalized tea bags with small jars of honey are a simple and useful gift. There are so many inexpensive yet truly memorable gifts to choose from. Regardless of what favor you choose, take the time to get details from the expecting mother. Is there a certain song that she has sung to her belly throughout her pregnancy? Or perhaps there is a favorite from her own childhood. You can incorporate a few lines of lyrics onto the name cards or baby shower favor tags.
If done right, at the end of the day, what your guests will remember is not the food or games, but the experience, of being there with the mother-to-be and helping her to feel embraced, hear words of wisdom and laugh with friends and family. As the shower wraps up, they will go on their separate ways with a memorable baby shower favor in tow and will be looking forward to welcoming the little one upon arrival.
