Easy Homemade Baby Shower Favors
Everyone loves to take home a favor from a party or shower. Baby shower favors that are homemade mean so much more than store bought favors. It is easy to make beautiful homemade baby shower favors even if crafts aren't your thing.
Semi Homemade Baby Shower Favors
If you don't consider yourself to be a crafty person, the idea of making homemade baby shower favors might scare you. Luckily, not every part of the favor has to be hand crafted. It is easy to construct gorgeous homemade baby shower favors using a few things you can find at any craft or discount store.
Consider sending each guest home with a beautiful votive candle. You can purchase these candles in bulk and then purchase special wax stickers to decorate the candles. These stickers can range in theme from baby items to floral or holiday images. Another great way to decorate a votive is to wrap it in netting and tie a pretty ribbon around it at the top. Not only are these homemade baby shower favors a hit with guests, they also look pretty sitting on the table next to a guest's plate.
Another semi homemade baby shower favor is created by decorating small frames found at discount stores or bought in bulk at craft shops. You can cover them with stickers, paint them, or even glue fabric on the frames. Most people can use a picture frame, so this favor makes a practical gift for guests.
Edible Homemade Baby Shower Favors
It is fun to surprise guests with edible homemade baby shower favors. Make up sugar cookies in the shape of rattles, carriages, diapers, or even bottles and decorate them with a stiff icing. You can even write guests' names on the cookies and use them as place markers on your tables. Fudge, mints, and divinity also make great take home gifts.
If baking isn't your thing, there are plenty of cookie mixes and even candy kits at your local supermarket, that make whipping up delicious delicacies a breeze. Remember presentation is just as important as the taste, so take the time to wrap up your edible favors in pretty papers and ribbons.
When you take the time to make homemade baby shower favors, you show guests that you appreciate the fact that they took the time to come to your party. You also give them a great way to remember your special day and the new baby they are celebrating.
