Often times, the people throwing baby showers know to get the baby shower favors, but they don't know what to do with them once they find the favors. If you're one of those people, relax. The hard part is finding the perfect baby shower favors. Figuring out what to do with them at the baby shower is a minor dilemma that can be solved with little effort.

In order to figure out the best way to display and distribute the baby shower favors, it is important to consider the set-up of the baby shower. Furthermore, what kind of activities are planned for the shower? If the guests will be moving around, mingling and playing games, it might be best to save the favors for last. Remember, the baby shower favors are small tokens of appreciation for your guests for attending the shower. It is not necessary to hand them out at the start of the shower.

If the shower is a casual gathering at someone's home, consider using the baby shower favors as decorations. Place them around the room. If you have tables set up with finger foods, set a few of the baby shower favors on each of the tables. If you already have separate decorations, place all of the baby shower favors together on a table and ask your guests to grab a favor at any time.

If you are throwing a more formal baby shower with a sit-down meal and place settings, place the baby shower favors at each setting, much like you would at a formal dinner or wedding reception. This way, you ensure that each of your guests receives a baby shower favor. Once again, consider what activities will follow the dinner. If the guests will be moving around following the dinner, consider placing the baby shower favors in the middle of the table in place of a centerpiece. Your guests can admire them during the dinner and take one as they head home.

The baby shower should be a fun occasion for everyone, including you. Put the baby shower favors out where your guests can see them. This eliminates the job of handing out the favors to everyone at once. The only thing you need to do is enjoy yourself and remind everyone at the end of the baby shower to grab a favor.
