If you haven’t been to one yet or haven’t yet hosted a baby shower, we do have to say that baby showers are exceptional events to have as they are a lovely way to welcome new bundles of joy into the world, and it’s a great way to help new parents out with all their baby needs.
It’s during this time when guests have a chance to demonstrate their love and care for the new parents by giving advice, support, and of course, gifts to the soon-to-be parents. These acts of love and kindness truly do help ease their worries and help them become more ready to welcome their new babies. Now, having said this, if you’re hosting a baby shower, there are a few things you should keep in mind in order to make it a gathering your guests won't soon forget.
As a host, you’ll want to provide your guests with delectable pica picas and fun entertainment or activities. But you should also consider getting your guests a token or a thank-you present that will make them feel appreciated even after the baby shower is finished. Need ideas for your upcoming baby shower? Check out the ideas we’ve listed below!
Bottle Opener
A bottle opener is a fun trinket that your guests will definitely enjoy. As you’re about to embark on the journey of motherhood, you’ll be trading in your wine bottles for baby bottles. But, if your guests do enjoy bottled cocktails or the occasional beer, they might need a little, cute, helpful bottle opener.
It’s also the type of party favor that can be customized, is easy to find, and one that won’t be difficult to wrap.
Coffee Mug
Coffee mugs are one of those gifts that you can easily customize. So, whether you want some ceramic mugs with your baby’s name and birth date written on it or a glass mug with some baby feet designs, you can easily get them and they make for a nice, useful, and thoughtful souvenir your guests are sure to use.
Assorted Chocolates
Who doesn’t like chocolate? It’s one of the most delicious and versatile sweets there is. You can find it in different varieties, such as milk, white, and dark. But, no matter what variety you lean more towards, you can use it to make customized sweets like chocolate-covered strawberries, cake pops with chocolate, chocolate fudge, chocolates that come in different shapes and sizes, and more! The possibilities are endless.
Now, if you can’t make up your mind or if you don’t know your guests’ preferences when it comes to chocolate, the best idea would be to get them an assortment of chocolate instead. That way, you can make sure that they get something they like, and they can even try new flavors they haven’t tried before.
Coffee Grounds
Another adorable and easy idea to gift to your baby shower guests is giving them customized coffee grounds. You can customize the flavors or the containers, so it says something like “A baby is brewing” or another equally cute message.
Adults need energy, and one way to get that is with coffee. New parents are the perfect examples of adults that need coffee as they’re about to embark on the journey of sleepless nights. So, coffee is a great gift to give your guests! Plus, the coffee might just get them (extra) jittery with excitement for the new baby!
Custom Can Cozies
Whether it’s for beer cans or for soda cans, having a customized beer cozy is a fun souvenir you can gift your baby shower guests. After all, handling a cold drink is not always great since most of the cold transfers to your hand really quickly. A quick solution to that would be to get them a beer cozy!
Getting a customized one means you can put any message and or design on it such as your baby shower details, the name of the guest, or even some baby images! There are a ton of different ways to customize it, so let your ideas and your imaginations fly when designing them.
It takes a lot of work to host a baby shower, but it’s all worth it in the end, especially when you get to spend time with family and friends and you get all the love and support from them as well. That’s why it’s customary and a great gesture to have some useful and good souvenirs for them to take home! We hope you enjoyed our list or at least got some good ideas to use for your shower!
