Baby shower party ideas should start with a relaxed gathering space filled with the colors for the baby. These are, in most cases, the pastel colors of spring, with yellow, blue and pink being the most common. Gifts that are welcome by new mothers are baby socks, baby night clothes, baby shirts, packages of diapers or free diaper service for six months. Any gifts that can be extremely helpful to the new mother are always welcome and greatly appreciated.



All kinds of finger foods are great for a gathering of this type. You might serve cucumber and strawberry sandwiches with cream cheese, or croissant rolls with cheddar and ham. For something sweet you might choose a butter tart or squares of several varieties. Toast to the mother to be with non-alcoholic punch or mimosas.



Baby shower party favor ideas are always a pleasant way to give when you are receiving the best gift of all- friendship, love, and support. The idea is to give those who attend the shower some kind of memento for coming to the party, as well as thanking them for any gifts they may have given you. One small gift you could make is a little cosmetic sized pouch that is tied with a ribbon at the top containing a flower sachet. This is meant to leave a pleasant scent in a clothing drawer. The gift may also include a small frame that holds the picture of the baby. Or if the shower is before the baby is born, an empty frame is a promise that the guest will receive one. Small tiny umbrellas with dried flowers attached to them are also a cute idea. Other possibilities are a key chain with baby booties on it, a tiny stuffed animal, or candy and chocolates. Seeds to plant flowers are great party favors. Guests can watch the flower grow and bloom, all representing the new baby's life.
