I'm co-hosting a couple's baby shower for a friend on March 1. The other co-host and I were discussing shower favors and she said she had just attended a couples shower and they got a condom and a mini bottle of booze wrapped in tulle as the favor. The inner Baptist in me shuddered and ran to the pantry for a drink. I can't imagine handing out a condom and a mini bottle wrapped in pink tulle at a party to celebrate a baby! Never mind that a good percentage of babies are conceived due to hooch and a lack of condoms, I just can't see myself handing over a condom to the dad-t0-be's parents. My co-hostess was laughing with evil glee at the thought of gifting the dad's parents with the condom and booze because the dad is a big old perv and he would think it's hilarious, and she said about the mom, "She would just laugh at whatever he laughs at because she doesn't have a brain of her own". I could be standing there barefoot, holding a mason jar of moonshine, covered in pork rind crumbs and still feel trashy for handing over a condom and a mini bottle at a baby shower. We compromised on cute little popcorn favors. I'm making those tomorrow and I'll post pictures in case anyone is interested.

I do think the condom thing is a cute idea - but not for a baby shower where relatives will be present. Maybe a girls night out before the baby comes. Movie/Dinner/Favors?
Ummm. OK I would have shuttered too!! Good thing you worked around that! Holley would have done that :P
Good Lord...... this would only be appropriate if the Daddy's name was Scooter, Rooster or Red and the Mama showed up in short-shorts and a half top with a pack of smokes.
I know people like this too...... leave it to Georgia!
Oh, and I'd love to see the favors!
Good move goin' w/ the popcorn. Though the condom/booze favor thing woulda worked with my SIL. Knocked up by baby-daddy #3 while on Depo... yep, whole case of favors for them.
The Mom was happy to hear we went with the popcorn idea. She said she couldn't bear to hand her father a condom!
A little late for the condoms, I'd say. ;o)
And gotta see those favors!
Again, no ma'am. That's a girls only thing for sure. Otherwise you could be embarrassing everyone involved including yourself.
