Part of throwing a baby shower is to let the guests know that they are appreciated for attending. One way to do that is to give them thoughtful baby shower favors. They do not need to be anything large or expensive.Give a small token of appreciation for them to remember the party by. If you are crafty, or on a tight budget, consider making your own baby shower favors. - A fun idea for making baby shower favors is to take jelly beans, chosen by color for the gender, and wrapping them up in tissue paper. This works better if you already know the gender of the baby. For example, if you already know that the baby is going to be a boy, wrap up blue jellybeans in blue tissue paper, or white, and wrap it with a royal-blue ribbon.
- A creative craft for making your own baby shower favors is to make diaper candy napkin holders. To do so, just fold a square-shaped paper napkin into a triangle. Take the two long sides and hold them together in the middle, point up to meet the two other long sides. Pin the three sides together, which makes a diaper. Dip the diaper-shaped napkin into paraffin wax. Allow it to remain open and dry on the wax paper. Once it's dry, place candy in the diapers.
- If you are skilled at baking, consider making fresh treats for baby shower favors. Make sure to bake enough for everyone who will be attending the shower. Once the cinnamon buns have cooled and have been frosted, place each one in a decorative plastic bag. Attach a cute message that expresses appreciation and thanks them for attending the baby shower.
