Any party will not be complete without party favors that show how thankful you are to your guests for attending your baby shower.
Baby shower party favors can be as expensive or as reasonably priced as you want them to be. You can either buy them or make them on your own.
Homemade favors is a great way to create and make your baby shower one-of-a-kind. Making your own baby shower favors is easy and it’s the preferred way for those of us who are on a tight budget. If this includes you, then this post is the perfect place to start :)
Bookmarks Make The Best Homemade Favors
One homemade baby shower favor you can do at home is a bookmark. Here are the steps.
- Using a pencil, mark lines on your cartolina or hard scrapbook paper so you can cut out uniform size bookmarks later.
- Slowly cut your bookmarks one by one by tracing the lines.
- Decorate your bookmark according to the baby’s gender. You can draw pink bottles and clothes if the baby is a girl or blue bottles and shoes if the baby is a boy. In this part, your creativity and imagination are very important. if you are not really good at drawing, you can just attach stickers on your bookmarks. You can find your stickers at book stores or craft stores.
Easy, right? If you find this idea too easy, you can opt for other favors such as the examples below:
- A bag of cookies – you can bake batches of cookies and put them inside a transparent bag. Decorate the bags with cute ribbons and tags that have the mom-to-be’s name and date of the shower. Or if you want, you can put in candies or other sweet treats instead of cookies in your bags.
- Booklet of recipes – you can compile your favorite recipes of the mom-to-be and put them all in a tiny booklet. If you don’t want a tiny booklet, you can place the recipes in a table calendar with images of the mom.
- Knitted mittens – if you are not comfortable in the kitchen, you can always knit baby mittens to give your guests. Design them with the theme of the baby shower in mind.
- Stuffed toys – you can make small stuffed toys if you want. This requires much patience and effort. It might take much of your time but the result is well worth it.
Homemade favors may take much of your time and effort but it only shows that you care so much about your baby to a point that you are willing to learn new skills just to make your baby shower a blast.
The key here is to use your creativity. As much as possible, use a lot of glitter, sparkles and decorations to make your party favors fun, cute and personalized.
The bookmark is one of the easiest and the most inexpensive baby shower favors you can make. Try making yours today and remember to always keep this theme in mind.
Good luck and I hope you have a good time making these fun and exciting baby shower favors.
