Great Baby Shower Prizes to Give
A baby Shower is a way to celebrate the news of an expected child in a family by showering gifts on the expectant mother. According to etiquette, a baby shower party is thrown by a close friend or colleague rather than a family member. Though the party is dedicated to the expectant mother, the guests have a very important role to play and they need to be appreciated. A shower isn’t complete without the fun filled games and if you are a host you must be ready with baby shower prizes for the baby shower participants.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on them unless you want to. Keep them simple, sweet and meaningful. Novelty items work best and keep the fun factor ticking away.
