I recently had a baby shower thrown for me by my hip mom and mom-in-law.  We decided to have the party after Ireland was born so everyone could meet her.  It was wonderful welcoming my little girl into my circle of fabulous girlfriends and the amazing women in my family.  There is no doubt she’ll always be surrounded by love (and have plenty of savvy shopping companions too!) 

If you have a baby shower to host in the near future, here’s a fun idea for party favors.  Couture Keepsakes is a line of darling miniature baby outfits on wooden hangers that can be used in a variety of ways.  Available in a multitude of designs, each Couture Keepsake comes filled with pre-packaged quality white Kosher Parve candy covered Jordan almonds and a personalized message attached with a mini clothes pin.

They really are adorable and no doubt will impress your guests.  If having couture favors for every guest is out of reach for your shower’s budget, I also like the idea of purchasing a single Couture Keepsake and displaying it in a shadowbox frame along with a birth announcement, photo, or other precious mementos like this gorgeous example.
