Baby Shower Party Favors For Your Guests
Giving a great baby shower means thinking of your guests at all times. These days, it's not enough to give your baby shower guests good company, hospitality, and food. The most memorable showers include party favors to memorialize the occasion.
Cost Doesn't Matter
Baby shower favors don't need to be expensive or extravagant. Simple party favors can be just as special as more costly favors; it really is the thought that counts.
Custom Cookie Baby Shower Favors
Custom baby shower cookies make great baby shower favors. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut rolled cookie dough in "baby" shapes - rocking horses, ducks, teddy bears, baby carriages, onesies, and babies.
Another great custom cookie baby shower favor is a personalized fortune cookie. Guests get ordinary looking fortune cookies, but the messages inside are geared toward a baby shower theme. "We Are So Blessed" is one example of a personalized fortune cookie message.
Custom Candle Baby Shower Favors
Another popular baby shower favor is a personalized tealight candle. Purchase one inexpensive, unscented white tea light candle for each guest at the baby shower. Using your best handwriting or your favorite computer font, print a message telling each guest to take the candle home and light it in honor of the new baby when they receive the news that the baby has arrived.
Color Coordinated Baby Shower Favors
If the mommy-to-be knows the sex of the baby, choose a pink or blue party favors, depending on whether the baby is going to be a girl or boy. Choose bath beads, soaps, mints, or candies in pink or blue, wrap them in matching mesh fabric and tie the bundle with a pink or blue ribbon.
Baby Shower Keepsake Favors
Another popular baby shower favor is a personalized keepsake you make yourself. Using a color printer and a simple computer graphics program, you can print labels that can be applied to lip balm jars, mint tins, magnets, and soap wrappers.
Miniature Baby Shower Favors
Miniatures are a recurring theme for baby showers - after all, a baby is a miniature human, and part of the appeal of baby things is their tiny size. Send your guests home with common baby items in miniature sizes, like pacifiers, baby bottles, or even little baby dolls.
Your baby shower guests have taken time from their busy schedules to shop for a gift and come to the shower. Giving your guests baby shower party favors will help communicate to them how much you appreciate their taking the time and effort to celebrate the new baby.
