Prepare the guest list before you get the party favors.

It can be something they can both use, such as a picture frame to place their photo in or a video copy of the event, which they can watch together.
- Shop around. There are tons of places where you can buy simple, but presentable baby shower favors. Local party supply stores often have some, with a lot of choices to choose from. There are also dollar stores that sell cheap items you can use as baby shower favors.
- Buy in bulk. Opt for places that sell wholesale items. You can save a lot of money because of the large discount they give you, compared to buying the items individually.
- Edible treats can also be given as party favors. Yummy goods such as cookies, muffins, cupcakes, bread, candy, chocolates and popcorn are great choices. Put them in a cute container, add some ribbons and lace and you’re all set!
- Be creative! If you’re an artsy person, you can definitely make the party favor treats yourself. All you need are typical all-around home craft items and you can whip up unique party favors of your own. Beaded necklaces or bracelets or mugs with baby decorations would be great ideas. Ask your friends to help you make homemade party favors. It’ll save you a lot of time and energy. (Learn how to make a beaded jewelry)
