Thank you notes for the Baby Shower: ideas for gifts for invited guests

Giving thanks at a Baby Shower is an increasingly popular custom accompanying the organization of this party. By giving guests small gifts, we express our gratitude for their presence and support for the future mother while waiting for the baby's birth. 

What small gifts are best as a thank you for participating in the Baby Shower?

Thank you at the Baby Shower sweet

During a Baby Shower, a pregnant woman and her unborn baby are most often showered by their family and loved ones not only with numerous wishes, but also with gifts. Many people, wanting to repay the guests who came to the party, prepare thank you notes for participating in the Baby Shower, which are also a beautiful souvenir of the event.

Thank you notes at a Baby Shower: in what form?

Such thanks can take various forms, e.g. small, sweet gifts:

  • Chocolates or candies (e.g. fudge) with personalization: Sweet thank you notes for Baby Showers are very popular. Personalized sweets or chocolates can be ordered online, decorated with a unique inscription, e.g. Thank you for attending the Baby Shower and/ or Baby Shower + name of the future mother, alternatively: Baby Shower + party date. Candies or chocolates with beautiful prints can be scattered around the plates. They will be great complements the table decoration.
  • Tiny cookies or muffins: you can prepare them yourself or order them at a confectionery shop and pack them in cellophane packaging/cardboard boxes with a decorative, personalized sticker.

It is worth giving chocolates, candies or cookies as thanks for participating in the Baby Shower to guests in tiny bags, e.g. linen or lace, or pouring them into mini boxes or decorative jars with a stopper made of natural cork. Most personalized decorations of this type can be ordered online or made by hand.

  • Lollipops: This is a very interesting idea for a thank you gift at a Baby Shower. You can put a lollipop on each guest's plate, or arrange sweet bouquets of lollipops in decorative vases or pots - this will create an attractive table decoration. Lollipops can be personalized for a Baby Shower, e.g. with a sticker glued to the packaging of each lollipop (Baby Shower + name of the future mother/party date), or with cardboard badges attached to a stick.
  • A tiny jar of honey: one with a decorative, personalized label as a thank you for participating in the Baby Shower is a traditional, but very nice gift that has many uses (e.g. at home you can add it to tea, sandwiches, desserts), which makes it very universal.

Thanks for the Baby Shower: souvenirs, small gifts

If within thanks for the Baby Shower We want to give our guests gifts that will stay with them for a long time. Below are some inspiring suggestions:

  • Sticker or fridge magnet: with a beautiful sentence and the date of adoption, e.g.: Thank you for being with me! Baby Shower + date. The magnet can also have a charming figure of a wooden elephant for good luck, a child's foot or a teddy bear, with a small engraving, e.g. Baby Shower… (name of the future mother).
  • A tiny, aromatic candle: in a jar or with a decorative cardboard label. You can order ready-made candles or make them at a party, together with your guests. This may be one of the attractions planned for the Baby Shower.
  • Thank you for the Baby Shower in the form of an elegant note that can become, for example, a bookmark. Such a note with an interesting shape, made of embossed, decorative paper, can also serve as a decoration during a Baby Shower, elegantly showing guests their place at the table.

You can attach a few nice words of thanks or a selected quote to the note-card, e.g. about friendship, gratitude or motherhood.

Such thanks for participating in the Baby Shower are a small, commemorative accent that will stay with the guests long after the party ends.

Thanks for participation in Baby Shower in a slightly different version: inspirations

Symbolic jewelry

Since Baby Showers are usually held among women, an interesting idea for a thank you gift at a Baby Shower would be a bracelet or brooch for each party participant, packed in a personalized bag with a decorative application and the inscription: Baby shower 

Photos in decorative frames

Photos framed in decorative frames will be a nice thank you for participating in the Baby Shower and a beautiful souvenir of this event. It is worth purchasing the so-called instant camera, in which the photo is available immediately after taking it. Let's choose frames according to the size of the photos we take, thanks to which we can create beautiful gifts for guests directly at the Baby Shower: group photos or frames in which each guest is photographed in the company of the future mother.

Other inspirations

Mini packages of soap bubbles are also great as a thank you for participating in the Baby Shower - they will first be useful at the party during a photo session, and then everyone will be able to take the bubbles home.

Another idea for a thank you gift at a Baby Shower are beautifully decorated mini bottles with non-alcoholic wine or champagne, or with homemade raspberry juice, with a label reading: Baby shower

We hope that the proposals we have prepared will inspire the party organizers to create unique gifts for the guests as nice thanks for the Baby Shower.
