Baby Shower Question

So I am hosting a baby shower for my friend tomorrow.  I was working on the favors and it was taking a lot longer then I expected and they weren't turning out how I was expecting them to either.

So my question is should I get another favor or would it be ok if I skip the favor?

  • We didn't have favors at mine, but I don't know the etiquette on that.

    I think it's totally fine to skip.

  • The last few I've been to haven't had favors.  It doesn't phase me, but it definitely could be different in other places.

  • I think it depends on the expectations of your guests and the norms for showers in your social circle.

  • Thanks!  Since my idea for favors had to be done at last minute (edible noes that really needed to be made the day before) I really don't have time to figure out something else.  If they want a favor I guess I can tell the families(which pretty much all of them are) they can take a pack of crayons since I bought a ton for a project I am having the shower guests help with.

    I gave away two macarons in little cellophane bags as favors as my wedding. I feel like that could work for a shower because they come in all of the cute colors (assuming you have a local bakery that sells them).

    I agree with just skipping it. I never attend any showers expecting a favor. No biggie

  • I have never been to a baby shower with favors either. I say it's ok to skip.

  • Favors usually suck anyway. Just skip, most people wont notice or care

    You could skip it but if you want a quick favor, one I like was a pack of flower seeds with a tag or sticker.

    ETA:  I just realized the shower already happened oops.
