Baby Shower Favors

My sister and I do amazingly cute diaper cakes for baby showers. We also make matching corsages for the mom to be to wear.

I have also seen a favor that is a little diaper made of felt triangles and safety pinned to the shirt. Whoever has a chocolate chip in the diaper wins a prize at the end of the party.

I've done lots of favors, and basically, anything you can buy premade at a party store, like the mini bottles or hearts and such are cute with m&m's or some sort of candy.

Also, those cute chinese take out boxes make good favors, put a pretty soap or candy in it and tie it with a big bow to coordinate with the theme.

If you need any help, or want something more personalized and different contact me and we can make them all for you for a great price.

At my shower, we went to Wal-Mart bakery and got the over sized cinnamon rolls. They were very inexpensive. We wrapped each one in pink saran wrap, tied it with a ribbon, added an "It's a Girl" charm. I printed out little notes onthe computer that said "Thanks from our sweet little bun in the oven!" punched a hole in it and tied it to the ribbon. It took a little time, but was very cheap and cute. We were going to buy the tubes of cinnamon rolls and bake them but the ones and the bakery were cheaper and way easier. I would love to know what you decide! Have fun!

Anything packaged in baby bottles works well. Then you just decorate the bottles with some ribbon. I've seen hard candy, m&m, bath salts, soaps, etc.

If you are looking for ready-made ones, check out our site at www.favoroo.com. Let me know if you're interested in soap favors. We just got some ducky and bear ones to make, and I wouldn't mind delivering them to you or having you pick them up...whatever's easier. We also carry baby gifts, if you need one.

You could even take a look at our favors for ideas, and we have a list of ideas for Baby Showers, too!

Go get some cheap little bottles and fill them with jelly beans! At a shower that was given for me they gave those out as gifts and they were really cute! M&M's in them could work too!

You can also order cookies from Celebrity Bakery. I ordered cookies that looked like rubber ducks and they were really cute!

I really don't have an idea for favors but I saw something that would be a good idea for a baby shower gift for the mother to be. I was at Joann's and I saw premade memory quilts. The one I saw had storks on the edging and had plain white squares. Then at the shower all the guests can create a square with marker. After it's complete, all you have to do is iron it. Just FYI.

M&M's with the baby(ies) name on them. You can order them online. My Aunt hosted my baby shower and she put them in little plastic (mini) baby bottles with "It's a Boy" ribbon tied around them. Everyoe loved them! Good luck!

I made little candy pacifiers out of life savers and jelly beans. You can use a toothpick to hold them together and tie a little string around it so it stays put. The jelly bean is the nipple of the pacifier, and the lifesaver is the little ring. Stick the toothpick through so the jelly bean is on and under the lifesaver, tie a ribbon around the toothpick and make a cute little bow. It makes the lifesaver not fall off. They're cute. Just make sure to make them a little early and stick them in the refridgerator. They can be used as table decoration too if you need something like that.

My baby shower was done in pooh bear. We bought small terracotta pots and tied a pink ribbon around then. Then we folded a napkin like a diaper w/ saftery pin in it. We put the diaper down in the pot and put party mints in it. We wrote on the outside "Kayla's Honey Pot". Everyone loved it and had a cute pot to plant something in or whatever they chose to do w/ it. Goood Luck!

I gave little bags of "pacifier sweet tarts" to people as they left my party. You can find the bags and the pacifiers at walmart's in the cake decorating/craft department.

OK, I will share my most cherished gift with all my "Online Mom Friends"!!!

1. Get a candle and something to put it in. Decorate it boy/girl really cute. My holder was tied with a tiny blue satin ribbon and deorative plastic baby bottles.

2. Then get some cute baby paper to print this verse on.

This is a gift for you today,
So when I'm born, You'll light my way.
And when that happy day is here,
Burn this candle and spread good cheer!

My best friend did this at my first baby shower and it absolutely just melted my heart. The day my son was born was the 3rd anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. Everyone told me that it was horrible to have him on that day, but I felt that I was doing good bring a life into the world on a day that we lost so many. Once everyone found out we had him, he was 4 1/2 weeks early and went straight to the NICU for premature lung disease, we had 28 candles burning for him for 8 hours.

I hope you find something that works for you.
