3 Edible Baby Shower Favor Ideas

Baby shower favors are a way of showing your gratitude to your guests who attended the shower. They serve as a souvenir for the guests and enable them to cherish the memory of the special occasion. As such, baby shower favors could be anything that can be bestowed as a gift. There are broadly grouped in to four categories namely, edible baby shower flavors, decorative baby shower flavors, personalized, and pampering baby shower flavors. Among these, the edible baby shower flavors, is the most desired the reason being obvious. Who would deny a delicious and tempting gift? Usually people emphasize the edible baby shower favors to match the theme of the shower party however this is not a thumb rule. The decision lies within the host or hostess.

The most common edible favors are candies, lollipops and gummies. But just handing them over to guests just like that is sort of dull. So to add color, the gifts are usually packed in baby socks or wrapped in baby nap caps. Some other ideas include filling baby feeder bottles with the edible favors and once they are endowed to the guests they empty its content into their bags and present the bottles back to the yet-to-be-mommy as a return gift. But one might make sure that the gifts don’t upset the mommy. For instance, if the mommy is planning to milk the baby herself then instead of presenting the feeder bottles one need to think of something else such as diapers etc.

Cookies are also one another brilliant baby shower favor item. Treating the guests with baked cookies is one of the best ways of thanking them. Not only would the guests enjoy eating but you would also enjoy baking it in a group. Of course, in case you are not so much in to cooking or if the circumstances don’t permit then there is always the option of buying bakery cookies that are available in predefined varied shapes. Presenting the cookies should be creative. In other words all the favors should have a cute and baby touch to it. An idea would be to present the ingredients in to zip-top bags along with the recipes. Customized cookies (like fortune cookies) form yet another better favor which adds flavor to the cookies being presented. They are difficult to be baked but their recipes can be found on various Chinese restaurants and specialty stores from where its ingredients are to be bought. Or else they could be bought online as well which would be quicker and cheaper as well to some extent. Another advantage to purchase online is that they offer personalized cookies of different shapes and colors.

Chocolate – the most irresistible and sought-after food item is another way to sweet your guests’ mouth. And different types of chocolate are readily available that can be presented on different moods. Mint also form some cute favors.

Though it is not customary but baby shower favors indeed is a perfect way to appreciate your guests’ blessings on your newborn. And edible favors not only are cute but will be also reasonable for the host/hostess and are even safe and simple yet memorable.
