Baby showers are a lot of fun, but they can also be very expensive. If you are looking for a way to cut down on the cost of your upcoming baby shower, you might want to consider making homemade baby shower favors.

Homemade baby shower favors can be very simple or extremely elaborate. If you are looking to save money, you might lean towards simpler things. If you are more interested in adding some personal elements to your party and cost isn't much of a concern, homemade baby shower favors can be a great way to let your personality shine through!

Thank and Reward Your Guests with Party Favors

Baby shower favors are a great way to thank your guests for coming to your shower and bringing gifts for your new baby. They can also tie into the party itself if you use them as prizes for the winners of your baby shower games.

Homemade baby shower favors can be personalized for each guest, either with their name or with a picture of them. A fantastic idea for unique homemade baby shower favors is simple picture frames with a baby picture of each guest inside.

This idea requires some planning, but it yields spectacular results. First, buy an inexpensive, undecorated photo frame. Then glue some tiny plastic baby-themed decorations all around the outside of the frame. Alternatively, you could paint the frame with the colors or baby-themed pictures of your choice.

Then comes the challenging part: finding baby photographs of your guests. This isn't too difficult if most of your guests are family members. Just look through old family photos or ask other family members for old photos. Be sure to use copies and not the originals!

These homemade baby shower favors can be used as place cards at the table, or you can leave the names off of the frames and make a game of everyone trying to guess which picture belongs to whom.

You can make much simpler homemade baby shower favors with similar positive results. A plastic bag filled with candies and tiny plastic baby bottle decorations can be a cute and quick party favor. Simple cardboard boxes can be decorated and filled with mints or scented tea light candles for more sophisticated homemade baby shower favors.

No matter what type of homemade baby shower favors you decide on, you can count on them being a hit with your guests. You'll not only save money – you'll show your guests that you appreciate them, too.
