More than One Baby Shower Favor Idea

Do you have any idea what you received as a favor at the last baby shower you attended? I didn't think so. Not many people do.

Well, with a little advanced thought and creativity, you can come up with a nice little list of memorable baby shower favor ideas. Friendly, affordable and fun is a good general rule, especially if you are inviting a large group or just expect a full turnout. After all, these are the world's newest child's well-wishers coming to celebrate a big occasion, and that's a great thing.

If It's Not A Surprise Party, Involve The New Mom

Of course it depends who's putting on the party. If the expectant mother is the energetic type and feeling pretty good, by all means involve her. After all, it's her baby shower and her party favor ideas will surely add to the possibilities.

Make It, Buy It or Grow It?

A basic question to ask in generating baby shower favor ideas is "Do we make it, buy it or grow it?" Any combination of these makes for some interesting possibilities. Consider macramé, crochet, scrap-booking, rubber stamps, pressed, fresh or even freeze-dried flowers. Add paper, paper mache, ribbon, cardboard or papyrus - these aren't just great material ideas for baby shower favors; use them to coordinate the party decorations too. Don't forget ribbons, quilt squares, pieces of old baby blankets.

Fresh seasonal fruit can add color to the table and is available locally, through your grocer or florist or can be easily purchased as a fruit basket online. A simple baby shower favor idea is dried fruit.
