What’s the most important thing to consider when picking baby favors for guests?
We believe that the most important thing to consider when choosing your baby shower favors is whether or not you love them. If the favor is something you like and are excited to share with your guests, chances are they’ll appreciate it and see value in it because you see value in it.

What are you tips for using favors as part of decorations?
If you’re looking for favors that specifically double really well as part of the shower decorations, consider giving your guests pastel bud vases filled with tiny blooms or mini picture frames. Even favors that are not considered decorative can be turned into fun, colorful table accents. Spruce up your favors with pretty packaging like personalized goodie bags, bright ribbons and designer hang tags. Once they’re packaged nicely, in colors that compliment the event, you’ll want to show them off!

Personalization on favors is incredibly popular. What are some of the newest ways that you can incorporate either initials or names into favors?
We give our customers many options for personalizing their favors. Some are engraved, while others are embroidered and for favors that can’t be directly personalized with a name or initials, we offer adorable baby shower personalized labels, personalized ribbon, gift bags and tags. One of the most popular personalization tricks is food printing. We can print a name, initials or a full colored photograph on goodies such as custom cookies, chocolate lollipops and even rice crispy treats!

Are there any rules to follow with regards to ordering/using edible favors?
Depending on the product, there are certainly recommendations for usage, expiration dates to consider and shipping restrictions. For example, most of our chocolate favors require expedited shipping such as a 2-day Air service. We also try not to ship chocolate on a Friday to avoid packages being left in a holding facility over the weekend. The best thing to do is read the recommendations regarding use of the product and order accordingly. Whenever possible, order close to the event date so that you are ensured the freshest products.

What are you best tips for favors when a mother does not know the gender of the baby? When she does know?
There are no rules when it comes to your baby shower favors. If you don’t know the sex of the baby but are not particularly keen on green or yellow, go for red or purple or mix pink and blue…anything goes. For mothers who decide not to find out the sex of the baby, a fun thing to do at the shower is playing up the mystery. Offer pink favors and blue favors and ask guests to choose. Then you can split the group up into the pink team vs. the blue team for the games. Soon you’ll have enthusiastic people rooting for Boy Team or Girl Team!

We’re finding that more and more parties are planned as co-ed showers. What would you suggest as favors for men attending a baby shower?
Sweets are always a welcomed treat. To ensure your favors go over well with men and women, prepare irresistible candy goodie bags or baked goods. For something more fun, consider classic toys like GI Joes or Hot Rods. They’re sure to bring out the kid in every man.

By far, the most popular trend in baby showers is making them green. What are some of your favorite eco-friendly favors?
My favorite eco-friendly baby shower favor is our plantable baby sprinkles seed tins paired with a mini ceramic potGuests are encouraged to plant the seeds and watch “love grow”.

How can you incorporate favors with games or favors as games?
One popular shower game is guessing the number of jelly beans (or candy of choice) in a jar. You can incorporate favors into this game by filling baby bottles with jelly beans for each guest. Guests then have to guess the number of beans in his or her own bottle and the closest without going over wins!
