Although simple baby shower favors seem to be very fashionable at the moment, it is often nice to spend some time and consider practical baby shower favors that guests might use in the future. This is important because favors which are given for other reasons may not be valued by your guests and in fact they may be quickly discarded soon after your baby shower and will not serve as a reminder of your baby shower.

You also want your guests to appreciate the baby shower party favors as well which is not likely to happen if you decided to choose the easy baby shower favors option as many do. Unfortunately, so many other baby shower favors are only good for the day and while a large bowl of candy will certainly bring enjoyment it won’t last more than a few hours unlike the practical baby shower favors you will provide.

Coasters are becoming popular baby shower favor and can be bought plain or they can be themed to your baby shower, plus it is also possible to buy them in different shapes including heart shaped. While the shape is a nice finishing touch it isn’t quite as effective as having the theme imprinted which remains as a permanent reminder of your baby shower day. For example you can purchase coasters with pictures of sand or the beach to go with a beach themed baby shower and you can include a picture of the bride and the groom in one of the coasters and leave the rest of the coasters in the set blank so your guests can use their own photos if they wish.

Just as an idea for something completely different, why not look for some baby shower favor key chains that can be used by your guests every day although you will probably require a couple of designs as men and women‘s tastes in key chains differ decidedly. In fact there are so many designs you could almost make every one unique but they will at the very least have to be strong enough for regular use as well as a reminder of your baby shower day.

Candles are also a popular baby shower favor and are often used because they are simple to obtain, can be themed or engraved and are very likely to be used at some time in the future. Most people already have at least a few candles in their house but they can always use a few more because they are very versatile and can be used to set a romantic mood but can also serve other purposes as well. There is always an occasion where candles can be used, even if it is when you have friends round for a meal so as baby shower favors go they are definitely of the practical variety.

A small but romantic practical baby shower favor comes in the form of a wine charm which tends to be used more at baby showers so can be found with a baby shower bell or heart shape quite easily. Of course, these are not something that is seen that often but are very useful when you have large numbers of people in a gathering whose drinks often become lost as they can be left on the glass to identify the owner. These are the type of baby shower favors that can actually be used at the baby shower as well as it is easy to mislay your drink when there are so many other guests around.
