Baby Shower Location Ideas

Baby Showers are a traditional event where the host, guests and parents-to-be will celebrate the soon to arrive baby or babies. If you are going to be the host, you will have realized that there are many elements to make a party that will be fun for all and memorable.

One of those elements is the notion to give Baby Shower favors to guests before they leave the party. Each guest will be there to share the joys of pregnancy and childbirth, to provide gifts, advice and to partake in games and entertainment to celebrate this marvelous occasion. They too deserve a little something to take away that will remind them of this wonderful time for years to come.

You could look as a thank you gift for the support provided from each guest. In terms of your planning, party favors should be planned well in advance, but shop for them once you have decided on the theme of the party – there will always be a theme. If you can match gifts to the chosen theme, this will be very appropriate indeed.

The good thing about Baby Shower favors is they don’t have to cost a fortune. There are so many things that can be bought as a favor and won’t empty your pockets out. If you are particularly creative and have some spare time on your hands, you could even make them, which could save you money and the stress of flying between shops and malls.

To make the favors that little bit more special – have them personalized either with the name of the baby or the details of the baby shower – such as the date and a brief thank you message. Furthermore, if you want to add to the element of surprise, make or buy little bags that you could fill with a variety of small and cute gifts – mini photo frames, baby themed candy or flower/plant seeds.

There are so many gifts to choose from, it can at times be a little daunting. To make things easier for you, here is a list of some of the more popular and much loved party favors of our times:

Candles. Candles given as a party favor are extremely popular, always have been and probably always will be. Your choice of candle should be a little fancy. If you can find some that match the theme of your party, such as candles in the shape of Winnie-the-Pooh characters – even better.

Novelty Favors. I’m talking about things such as egg timers for the kitchen or a sachet of seeds to grow a plant of a flower in the garden or indoors. I, particularly like the idea of giving seeds as a favor – not only does it help remind you of how the baby is and will grow, but it is a very ‘green-living’ gift.

Personal Care. No guest will be disappointed to receive luxurious personal care items as a favor – think about hand creams, lip treats, bath confetti, or if you can find a bar of soap in the form of an egg or to match your party theme.

I want a baby shower with girls and guys?

Has any one done this yet or do you have any ideas games or locations? Live in Los Angeles,Ca.

I would do it at a park or in someones back yard. Maybe make it a little less baby shower like and a little more like a celebration for the new baby. I wouldn’t play any of the overdone typical shower games (baby bingo, men drinking from the bottles the fastest, guess this nursery rhyme, etc). You could do a BBQ and just have typical activities for that type of setting like horseshoes, badmitten, etc. You should still have the cake and you can have everyone come together to watch you open gifts and maybe have everyone (men and women) write down a piece of advice on a card and then have the father-to-be read them outloud. Could be pretty comical as I am sure the men will have much different advice than the women.

Have fun with it.
