Favor of the Week

“Getaway Car” Favor Box with Expandable Convertible Top and Tin Cans

Before you drive away on that momentous day, drive ‘em wild with style and something sweet! Kate Aspen’s artistic flair and attention to detail has led to a wedding favor your guests will talk about at least as until the end of your honeymoon—and probably longer! Reminiscent of a vintage make and model, the Getaway Car Favor Box is a spectacular way to transport sweet treats to your reception tables. The aristocratic car, sleek and sophisticated in dramatic black with pink and white accents, features a pink heart as a hood ornament. The expandable, black roof is equally as charming as the two tin cans flying from the back of the car, tied right below the “Just Married” sign. Measuring 2” h x 4 ½” l x 1 ¼” w, the Getaway Car favors come in a set of 24.

The Tropical Trendy Baby Shower Collection at Toodles Gifts Inc

OK, so according to the calendars summer is not technically here yet. However, it is memorial day weekend, kids are almost on holidays, its 80 degrees outside, pools are opening, grills are fired up,and every magazine is offering swimsuit tips. Let's face it winter is now a distant memory and we are now in full fleshed summer mode.

What is really great about summer is that everything thing and everyone goes outside. For those hosts who are planning,it is important to know that baby showers are no exception. In fact , summer showers are arguably the most fun because you can actually make the entire season your theme and seize the opportunity to make your party fun, festive and colorful.One great theme to consider is the Tropical Trendy Baby Shower Theme.

 As Mom to be nears the end of her pregnancy, there is probably nothing more that she would like than to be whisked away to a relaxing tropical retreat. But with the real option probably a financial impossibility for most (not to mention being against doctor's orders) you can give that special Mom the next best thing and bring the islands to her.

There are so many advantages to using the tropical baby shower theme including:

•  the fact that you have many vibrant colors to choose from. This wide array of colors makes it ideal for baby showers where gender is unknown. 
• the neutrality also makes this fun theme great for co-ed showers.

From the guest invitations that you can send in a bottle ,to the fruit smoothies you can serve up as refreshment,there are so many little things you can do to make your theme come alive.

Budget Friendly
Another bonus to having a tropical soiree is the fact that it can be very budget friendly. For party hosts,a lot of your usual summer home decor typically put in place already can be incorporated into the shower.

• The freshly planted flower garden or the newly cleaned pool can serve as a great backdrop for your event.
•  On the actual day, greet guests with an inexpensive Hawaiian lay found at most party stores or simply give them a flower from your garden as hair accessories. 

Again, the possibilities are endless.

You may decide to make it a general tropical theme or, do as we would here at Toodles Gifts and add an even more personal touch. Find out if Mom to be has a favorite destination that she either has been to or would like to visit and then make that specific place the shower theme.

For example, our favorite tropical spot is Jamaica. A very simple and easy way to pull off a Jamaican baby shower would be to play reggae music at the shower. This would immediately set the tone for the arriving guests as they are welcomed into a fun filled, rhythmic affair. In fact, there are some really great Bob Marley songs that would work well at showers including, "I wanna love you" and "One Love".We would include some Jamaican food, even if it is not a complete entree, (bearing in mind Mom to be probably can't handle spicy food) , just serve your food on home made palm tree place mats and you'll have the same great effect. You get the idea, have fun!

What about shower games and activities you may ask?
Well here's an idea, have the guests pad themselves with a pillow to mimic Mom's pregnant belly and then have them all play calypso limbo. The aim would be to see who can go the lowest in their current "pregnant state". Can't you just picture the laughs!!

You get the point! By selecting just the right theme, you have so many ways to create a fun , personal and memorable baby shower, so go on...let your creativity be your guide.

Until next time,

Toodles
