Baby Shower Favors And Souvenirs: Tips for Selecting Practical Mementos Your Guests Will Actually Use

Although rare, baby shower favors that are practical are a sure way your baby shower will be remembered by all your guests as they will go away with something that can be used afterwards. While it may not seem important, it is nice when your guests have made the effort to attend your baby shower ceremony, perhaps traveling some distance, for them to have something of value but useful as a remembrance.

Anyone can provide easy and inexpensive baby shower party favors but that little extra thought you put into it will ensure they appreciate the gesture as well. Flowers and candy left in the center of the table are baby shower favors which bring about good feelings on the day, but how many baby shower guests will keep them after that.

One practical suggestion is coasters which are easily obtainable in a number of shapes, including the romantic heart shape but can also be designed to have your baby shower theme imprinted. Heart shaped coasters will be ideal because they are romantic and convey the sentiment of love but they are also something your guests can really use. For example you can purchase coasters with pictures of sand or the beach to go with a beach themed baby shower and you can include a picture of the bride and the groom in one of the coasters and leave the rest of the coasters in the set blank so your guests can use their own photos if they wish.

Having practical baby shower favors that can be carried with you all the time isn’t a bad idea and key chains fit this criterion very well although you will need to have a shape that suits men and another for women. In fact there are so many designs you could almost make every one unique but they will at the very least have to be strong enough for regular use as well as a reminder of your baby shower day.

Many people decide on the simple idea of giving candles which are easily obtainable and whether you give a church style chunky candle or a dainty tea light with holder, they are practical baby shower favors many people will definitely use. Even in our electric age, candles have not lost their appeal and now with the scented varieties that are available, they can produce a wonderful de-stressing atmosphere in a room. There is always an occasion where candles can be used, even if it is when you have friends round for a meal so as baby shower favors go they are definitely of the practical variety.

If you want to stay with a romantic theme, and after all it is a baby shower favor, then why not consider wine charms which can have baby shower bells or heart shapes and are rather appropriate for a baby shower. Very few people actually have these charms in their home but can be very useful when you have friends around and need to distinguish who owns a particular drink. For anyone that has been to a party with many people in attendance it is very easy to put you glass down somewhere and either lose it or someone else drink from it.
