Baby Shower Brunch Wording
Key favors hold a special place in my heart because the first holiday my soon to be fiancé and I shared he gave me a small, beautifully wrapped box (too flat to hold a ring) and I really had no clue what to expect. But when I opened it up and realized it was a key to his house I knew he was saying “what is mine is yours”. That was 16 years ago and it is still my favorite gift from him (although let’s not kid ourselves – I loved that engagement ring too when it came).
And that’s what makes ‘key favors’ so special. It is symbolic of ‘unlocking’ something previous unavailable/unattainable by the guest of honor. I’ve seen key favors used for the following celebrations:
- Key wedding favors where the key symbolically represents the “key to my heart”.
- Someone’s first car and/or the ability to legally drive. Often this is celebrating a 16 year old’s birthday. Doesn’t mean they actually received a car as a birthday gift, but that they ‘officially’ can now drive.
- Purchase of new home. People often given them as party favors for house warming party. And realtors often present them as fun favors to adults and kids alike when they close on a deal.
What type of key favors do you have as options to give as party favors?
- Key chains, of course!
- Chocolate keys – everybody loves and edible favor.
- Bottle stoppers with a ‘key’ detail as the topper.
- Wine opener tools that also have a key chain to them.
- Bookmarks in the shape of a key.

How to word a Baby Shower invite?
I’m throwing a Baby Shower for someone.
The baby shower is a breakfast/brunch at a restaurant.
I wanted it to be just woman.
How do I say that?
Since its just women, do I say its a baby shower for the mom and dad, or just the mom’s name?
Do you think people will be offended if its just women?
Also, since I need a headcount, I’ll need to know if anyone is bringing a guest or a child, how do I say that?
Should they be bringing a guest or a child?
have them rsvp and when they do that, have them tell you how many people their having with them. then just keep count.
and just put the mom’s name on the invitation.
people won’t get offended. most guys don’t like Baby Showers anyway.
