Who doesn’t want to receive an adorable baby shower favor after attending the party? After all, shower favors are just one of those traditional aspects that everyone expects anymore. Baby shower favors are available in a wide assortment of choices, enabling shower planners an opportunity to pick one that is different from commonly offered shower favors.

Traditional baby shower favors often included tiny plastic baby coaches filled with after dinner mints or small plastic cribs filled with inedible babies. Today’s array of baby shower ideas for favors includes such popular items as personalized candy wrappers, seed packets, and specialized bookmarks.

Personalized candy wrappers are a popular choice since they come with candy! Of course, there isn’t room to include much more than the date of the baby shower and the name of the expectant mother. Nonetheless, these shower treats are always appreciated.

Personalized candy wrappers are sold in white, blue, and pink so it is easy to use them to add a touch of color to the event with an assorted mix. Since there isn’t much room for poems or phrases, most of the personalized candy wrappers are sold with a small, adorable picture on them. For the hostess, it’s just a matter of selecting the design she wants to use.

Seed packets are great ideas as shower favors. They can be personalized to include the date of the baby shower and the mother-to-be’s name. Seed packets hold flower seeds that can be used to create a colorful display in honor of the baby.

One of the latest trends in shower favors happens to be personalized bookmarks containing the mother-to-be’s name, the date of the event, and a short whimsical poem. If the gender of the baby is known, the bookmark can be printed in blue or pink for an added touch of color. A small picture of a baby, teddy bear, or rattle and blocks on the top of the bookmark gives it a nice touch.

Intro: Baby showers are held to honor the expectant mother while providing her with a few gifts to get her started with the many items that the baby will need. Shower favors are one of the niceties that the hostess typically provides for the guests. What are some of the favors currently being used at baby showers?
