Ideas for Baby Shower Party Favors
Party favors are such a trend now a days especially on baby shower parties so guest assumes that besides having a bit of great food and refreshment, a good company and lots of fun they expect to have a party favor in their hands as they walk out the door. Sure, there are prizes for the games but it’s kind of awkward that others get something and others don’t. So, the host must cover all the visitors. Here are few ideas that you can use.
Purpose of Baby Shower
Traditionally, baby shower is supposed to be thrown with the first baby of the family. The function of this party other than celebrating the near birth of a little angel is for the women to impart their knowledge and share instructions on motherhood skills. Over the years, this trend was outdated – instead of celebrating for the first born child alone, baby shower party is also being held for the successive child or even for the adopted kids as well.
Gender Reveal Baby Shower
Knowing the gender is one of the most exciting things about pregnancy, of course this just follow the moment the expectant parents find out about the pregnancy and the birth of the baby. Traditionally, the gender of the baby is informed in a dark ultrasound room but there is a trend now that has been gaining its popularity – and this is the Gender Reveal Baby Shower where the gender is disclosed in the party.
The Man Baby Shower
Is it not a bit unfair that the mother to be gets a chance to celebrate the near birth of the baby yet the father is not allowed in the baby shower? Even though the father to be is sometimes allowed to be in the party, men don’t usually enjoy the traditional baby shower party. Would you expect them to be as enthusiast as the ladies in scrap booking, making quilt, cooing over a tiny baby clothes? I guess not.
Cash Registry Baby Shower
Expectant mothers can now have control on the baby gifts that she will be receiving on her baby shower unlike before that you don’t have any say on this. In lieu of registering at a store the new trend today is registering for cash itself. There are already online companies that can help you with this arising trend – they offer cash coupons that can be given as a baby shower gift.
Babyshower invitation and etc
One of the best babys hower invitation that I had was an invitation with a cut out pregnant woman and she is wearing a white dress in tutu material. What is fun with baby shower parties is the preparation and of course the party itself. If you are a person who loves to get creative you can visit craft stores and get a lot of interesting ideas there to incorporate into your baby shower invitation.
Party Favor Ideas
Gone are the days where giving party favors consists of showcase items that does not have any use but just a showcase. Today people are more innovative and they give party favors that either have a use or something that is edible. Like one of the famous favors being given for parties are honey, coffee, sweets, cupcakes, wine, and yes even pets.
Baby Shower Refreshments
In deciding what refreshments to serve on a baby shower, the planner must take into consideration the venue and the theme of the baby shower party. If you are thinking of the most convenient and easiest manner to serve food, I suggest do a buffet set up or a bunch of small bowls and plates for vegetables and dip, cookies, appetizers or sweets that are scattered around the room. This way the guests would gander around the room and help the socialization a lot easier. Finger foods also allow the visitors to nibble while interacting with others. But if you have the time and money, then prepare a sit-down meal for everyone. If the shower will be held on a beautiful afternoon, serve celery sticks and mini-quiches to plates of M&Ms or chocolate truffles but if it is an evening event then desserts will be better.
For the drinks, have some delicious and fun virgin drinks in camaraderie with the expectant mother or just have several choices of drinks without alcohol on it like juice, punch, lemonade, ice tea, water of even milk that is served in a baby bottles with straw. And if the soon-to-be-mom is okay with alcoholic drinks then feel free to have margaritas or white wine.
People & Group Pictures at Baby Shower
Having a baby is such a life changing event so it just right to welcome the soon birth with a baby shower party. And what party would it be without taking pictures as much as possible. You don’t have to get a professional photographer for this – anyone who can figure out how to use a simple point and shoot camera is good to go. Here are some ideas for photo shoot during the baby shower party.
