You have picked out an adorable theme, you have compiled the guest list, you have booked the location and secured the date and even sent out the baby shower invites one month ahead just like you read in your Baby Showers for Dummies Books. You even got the flower arrangements, bouquets and entertainment prepared and set up. But what about your favors?
Hmm, do you really need them? What are they anyway?
An important thing to consider when preparing for a blessingway is the theme and number of party favors you are going to give out to your family and everyone else at your party. This should not be too hard if you already have an idea on what you want for your baby shower favors, but if you are like me, your probably organize everything at the last second.
In all honesty, if you can put a thank you note on it, it can count as a good party favor. But in reality, since you only want the best things for your child, and it is technically his or her party, you go out of your way to choose the best designs and the most precious colors ideas. Lets go through some ideas you may want to look at:
The Gender of Your Baby
An easy way to base your color combinations on are the sonogram phtos. Now you know what color you can base your party. From the invitations to the favors, your colors must be coordinated. You can choose pastel blue or purple for your blue baby shower favors, and pink or peach for your girl baby shower gifts.
Another benefit to knowing the gender of the new bundle of joy is that it easier for the party to choose the perfect embroidered baby gifts! If the sex is a boy, you can choose a blue baby boy candles, a blue chocoloate covered candies or a blue egg timer and so much more for your baby boy party souveniers.
Obviously, you can do the same if the mom-to-be is having a girl and just change the color. You can also choose to give something practical, like a mug, a photo frame or a small comb.
One more thing you need to decide on when choosing your colors is the appropriate colors hues you will use. Blue variations are countless. You have royal blue, navy blue, periwinkle blue and pastel blue. Pink color variations are also limitless: fuchsia, pastel, soft pink, baby pink and candy pink, to name a few. To make it easier for you to choose a shade, you can simply categorize the many variations into two: pastel of vivid. Pastel colors are unobtrusive and cute, while vivid colors create more excitement.
