A baby shower is one of the warmest celebrations there is family and friends gathered around a mum-to-be, everyone a little emotional, everyone taking photos. The favours you hand out at the end are the last touch guests remember. Here's how to choose them well, without stress.
Start with the theme (or let the favour set it)
If your shower has a theme jungle babies, twinkle twinkle little star, pastel florals the favour should belong to it. A handcrafted favour that matches the décor looks planned and photographs beautifully on the welcome table. No theme yet? Choose a favour you love first and build the colour palette around it. It's the easiest shortcut to a coordinated celebration.
Decide your budget per guest, not in total
Favour budgets make more sense per head. As a rough guide:
- ₹250–600 per guest — sweet treats in beautiful packaging, small candles, seed kits
- ₹600–1,500 per guest — handcrafted favour bags, personalised keepsakes, mini hampers
- ₹1,500+ per guest — premium personalised keepsakes for intimate showers with a short guest list
A smaller guest list is your chance to give something genuinely special twenty thoughtful favours beat eighty forgettable ones.
Count carefully, then add spares
List every guest including the aunties who "might drop by" (they will, and they notice favours). Add 10% extra or a minimum of 3–5 spares. Leftover favours make sweet thank-yous for people who helped host.
Personalise it — this is the one event where it always lands
Baby showers are sentimental by nature. The baby's expected month, the parents' names, a line like "Thank you for showering us with love" small personal touches turn a favour into a keepsake. If you already know the baby's name and are keeping it secret, initials work beautifully. See how our customisation works names, colours and themes are all made to order.
Time it right
Handcrafted and personalised favours are made to order, allow 7–10 business days for production plus delivery time. Order 3 weeks before the shower and you'll never think about it again. Last-minute? Message us anyway we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Think about the journey home
Favours travel in handbags and car boots. Choose things that won't melt, leak or crush and if they might, beautiful sturdy packaging solves most of it. (This is very much our hill: the packaging is part of the gift.)
