Cute Ideas For Baby Shower Favors

Many people start out looking for cheap baby shower favors because they have the misconception that all baby shower favors not handmade are expensive. I just hate the word “cheap” because it sounds like the person hosting the baby shower is not enjoying it one bit and they do not want to spend one penny more than necessary on the baby shower. I know from experience in working with the party planners that is not the case but that sticking to a budget is a concern so how about we rephrase our term to affordable baby shower favor ideas or inexpensive baby shower favor ideas.

I think after weddings, baby showers are my most favorite event to attend. As in weddings, everyone is so happy about the new arrival or arrivals that it’s such a joy to get together with family and friends and celebrate the baby with the mom to be.

If you’re the one hosting the baby shower and are a bit stumped about what baby shower favors to give your guests, let’s do some brainstorming together. It sounds like such a cliché but if you already know the sex of the baby, then you can narrow down your favor choices to blue or pink. If you are lucky enough to have time to put the baby shower favors together, then the easiest way to begin is to purchase pink or blue favor boxes or favor bags with matching ribbon. Candies such as jelly beans are always nice fillers for the boxes along with nuts or mints.

If you’ve chosen a favor box or bag, then you have a bit more options. One of my favorite baby shower favors was a pink organza bag filled with potpourri. I tossed it in my lingerie drawer when I went home and the scent lingered for several months after the shower – lovely reminder of a fun day. A few more ideas for filling the favor bag are bath crystals, hot cocoa mix (for showers in the winter), or wildflower seeds for spring showers.

If you’re like me and you do not have a lot of time to sit down and hand make your baby shower favors, then you’re looking for a fun, yet affordable gift for the guests to take home with them. Many adorable baby shower favors are really not expensive. Let’s take a look.

Candle favors are great party favors for so many events because it’s a practical party favors that guests will definitely use some time in the future. Candle favors imprinted with a baby and baby power scented or baby bottle candle favors are just too cute for words and quite inexpensive.

Another affordable way to go is to choose a baby shower favor that does double duty – first as a place card holder then as a picture frame your guests take home
