If you are high on budgeting and would rather spend party favor money on special décor or the catering service or even some fun and enjoyable party games for the baby shower you are planning, why not make them yourself? You can do it at the fraction of the cost of ready-made baby shower party favors and even give them a customized look to encourage the guests to keep them as mementos of a lovely event! For a thematic baby shower party favor idea, choose to go with related kiddy items such as fabric nappies, feeding bottles and baby booties and fill these up with assorted candies; knot the packages off in style with a ribbon! Perhaps, your guests will find them more useful to you after going through the edibles and gift them back to you (the expectant parents) for your use! For those that are a dab hand at cooking and baking, this is just the right time to show off those culinary skills: make different varieties and flavors of cookies in kiddy-shapes like bottles, rattles and ducks etc and wrap them in colorful plastic or paper wraps to present as favors! For a gathering that is bound to have more women attendees than men, scented or floating candles are a great idea as baby shower party favors; these too, can be decorated with fancy ribbons (if you know the baby's gender, go for typical colors such as blue and pink).
Votives and scented candles are especially a great bargain since they come in sets and are cost-effective baby shower party favor ideas that can be personalized for the guests.
For those with a hobby such as gardening, the lawn is the best place to hunt for naturally beautiful party favors that guests at a baby shower are sure to love and remember you and your special occasion by: pick seasonal plants and flowers for gifting as party favors.
Get small seedling pots; grafting a stem and planting it in the chosen container won't take long and finishing off with a bow is the best way to give something that is eco-friendly and requires tender, loving care -just like babies do, so it's reminiscent of the occasion too! Using store-bought coffee mugs and wine glasses filled with a gay bunch of flowers is another surefire way to present a party favor at the baby shower that is a style statement yet simple to put-together.
Last, but not least - for the baby shower party favor with a utility factor, put in assorted baby products such as toiletries and wash cloths, wipes and flannels nestled in a baby basket or hamper with a ribbon-bow to give a cutesy effect.
It's bound to be a hit with parents who have babies of their own! Add in a personalized touch with monogramming initials or crafting cute animal characters or cartoons out of fabric bits on diapers and bibs or paint on kiddy stuff with crafting paint so they can used as keep-sakes of a memorable baby shower event! So, go ahead and get out that burst of creativity just raring to set the guests ablaze with your innovative styling, ideation and presentation of baby shower party favors you made yourself.
