If a baby shower is being thrown in your honor, it’s customary to send your guests home with something.  The right baby shower favors are ones that people want to keep for a lifetime. They’re unique, memorable, and useful. The favors put a smile on people’s faces and remind them of you and the little one you’re about ready to have.

Picking the perfect present for new parents can be difficult, especially if you don’t have any experience with newborns. The only thing worse than no gift, though, is a gift that no thought has gone into. With new parents, this gift can be an annoyance or even harmful for the new baby. If you’re at a loss for what to gift the family with during this special time, fear not. Here are some steps to picking the best gift to give to new parents.  

With COVID-19 making it hard to hold in-person events, the virtual baby shower has grown in popularity. Not only is it the safest way to share a moment with family and friends, but it also prevents you from postponing the gathering until after social distancing restrictions end. It gives you and the people you’re close to something to look forward to in upcoming weeks.

It can create mixed feelings, being tasked with throwing a baby shower. While it is obviously an honor, there can also be feelings of heavy responsibility and a fear of disappointment on the part of the expectant mother. Let’s look at some do’s and don'ts to help keep you, and the party, positive, fun, and relaxing.
