Bridal shower and baby shower are two occasions which are hosted by someone close to the bride or the mother-to- be. A good friend, relative can host this important event. From celebration planning to decorations, the host has to take care of everything. Both these events are mainly for females and men are kept out of this. Guests bring gifts for the bride or mother and in return, guests receive party favors from the host.
Bridal shower favors can be personalized items with the brides name and date written on them. These could be candy jars, pots, cookies, coaters, notepads, candles and many such useful items which the guests will be happy to receive. Baby shower favors have to conform to a baby shower theme and can have cookies, pacifiers, coasters, tins, candles; all with baby theme.
If there is an invitation for a baby shower, the invitees have to take gifts for the baby and mother. Most guests are in a dilemma over what to take as baby shower gift. Depending on the budget, there are loads of baby shower gifts to choose from. Picture frames, dolls, gift baskets are some common baby shower gifts. Lullaby CDs, night time story books can also be good gifts for the baby which will be of use even when he is not a new born.
