BABY SHOWER PARTY FAVORS

Baby shower party favors are one of those nice touches at the baby shower. It’s common for the host or hosts to give small, thoughtful baby shower favors to each of the guests to thank them for coming. These are small gifts that are in addition to the game prizes that some guests may have won during the shower. Some hosts like for the favors to tie in with the theme of the shower, but it’s up to you!

When should you give out the baby shower favors? It’s up to you! You may want to decorate with them. For instance, depending what you choose, they can help decorate the tables. You can also use the party favors to help add some color here by placing them around the room. Then again, you might want to save the favors for the end of the shower. So that you don’t forget to give someone their favor, you might put all of them out on a table so that your guests can take on when they’re leaving the shower.

Other baby shower favor ideas:

Bun In The Oven - cook some cinnamon buns (you can get from Pillsbury) in the oven. When cooled, place one of the buns in a clear bag with a cute ribbon for presentation. Place a note with each of the buns stating "Thank you for coming from "name of mommy-to-be" and her little bun in the oven". Thanks to Ashley for this cute baby shower favor idea!

Baby Shower Favors - Diaper Candy Napkin Holders - To make diaper favors, take a square paper napkin, fold in half (into a triangle). Bring two long sides together in the middle and the point up to meet the two long sides. Pin all three sides together at the center making a diaper. Melt some parafin wax and dip the diaper. Place on wax paper to dry making sure to keep diaper open so candy can be placed in diaper when wax is dry. These are very cute and can be done to match the theme or colors of the baby shower. Thanks to Tracey for such a cute baby shower favor idea!
