The time has come to celebrate the baby’s arrival. You’ve already decided on the theme and the decorations, but now you need to decide what favors to give to your guests, right? In addition to the decorations, baby shower favors play an important role at the event. This is the moment when you thank your guests for their gifts and their presence. That’s why, no matter how simple the party is, the baby shower favor should be chosen with a lot of care.

Usefulness of the Favor

It’s always nice to think about the usefulness the baby shower favor will have for your guests. Something they can eat, use in their daily life, or even use as decoration. After all, if it’s not useful, it might be thrown away after the party or end up forgotten in a drawer.

Low-Cost Favor Suggestions

The most common and simple baby shower favors given at these events are brigadeiros or bem-casados with the baby’s name. This option is very inexpensive and hardly takes any work. But if you want to give something more meaningful that your guest can keep, there are many options.

Budget

Set a maximum budget and divide it by the number of guests to know how much you can spend on each favor—this will make it easier to explore options. Remember that during the organization, the baby shower favors can also be part of the decoration, so it’s good to set aside a reasonable budget for this part too.

Baby Shower Favor Ideas

Obviously, there are some more elaborate ideas chosen as baby shower favors. Ideas like necklaces or bracelets made especially for the event, with the baby’s name or something symbolic to mark the moment. Or you can have personalized objects produced with the event details.

Personalized Baby Shower Favors

  • Candies.

Creative Ideas

For photography enthusiasts, a creative option for baby shower favors is to use an instant camera. Some companies offer this service and give guests a unique keepsake, ranging from simple stickers featuring the guest and the mom-to-be showing off her baby bump, to a photo to keep as a memento. The photo can include images illustrating the event, including the date and the baby’s name. If you want to give a baby shower favor not so tied to the baby theme, you can buy small pots with cacti or succulents and attach a thank-you sticker.

Budget-Friendly Ideas

A budget-friendly idea for baby shower favors is to put personalized stickers with event details on water bottles and hand them out along with a sweet treat to each guest at the end of the party.

How to Make Simple Baby Shower Favors

One of the great options for moms is felt baby shower favors. Very low cost and easy to make! They can be made in the shape of babies, baby carriages, bottles, or customized for the baby’s gender and made as keychains or even match the party theme.

Personalized Sweets

To make some of the simpler baby shower favors more special, give something useful that includes a sweet. For example, putting brigadeiro in a pot with a sticker and the baby’s name. You could also use dulce de leche, candy sprinkles or, if you want something healthier, nuts and walnuts.

Bag of Sweets or Air Freshener

Continuing the candy theme, making fabric bags with truffles adds a bit of mystery and looks beautiful. Buy fabric, cut it into squares, and tie them like a bundle with a ribbon, add a thank-you note, and your favor is ready. This way, you can also make scented sachets for guests to place in drawers.

Favors for Baby Girls

A different option for baby shower favors for girls is to choose a nail polish in the color of the party theme and tie a ribbon with the baby’s name and a thank-you note. It’s very cheap and innovative! Instead of nail polish you can also give other items, like lipstick, nail kits, or hand creams. Buying small scented candles and adding a message is also a great option. You can also make your own keychains out of EVA foam or crochet in a simple baby-themed shape. Another great option for baby shower favors is to make homemade soaps that can even complement the table decoration. The soaps can be shaped like bottles, little feet, bows, or animals. The guest will love it and will definitely use it or at least use it as bathroom decor.

Photo Frames

Another simple and inexpensive baby shower favor idea is photo frames, which can even be found at dollar stores. They can be painted and decorated according to the party. Place an ultrasound or family photo inside and give them to your guests, so they can reuse the frame with any photo they like. If you choose something for lasting use, like a keychain, cup, or jewelry, avoid using the baby’s name in these cases, and instead attach a thank-you tag. This increases the chances of the person actually using the item, and they will always remember getting it at a special event.

Favors for Baby Boys

For baby boy shower favors, you can use the same as for girls. However, there are some options that are especially nice. Try to use the event’s color scheme and any choice will be welcome. Some favor options include:

  • Keychain with bottle opener;
  • Stress balls;
  • Water bottle;
  • Hand cream;
  • Note holder;
  • Bookmark;
  • Candy holder.

Always remember to label the items with a thank-you and the baby’s name, either with a sticker, a tag, or a card. You can make any baby shower favor more special. If you opt for a brigadeiro, use a pretty package, a fabric bag, and a thank-you card to make your baby shower favor stand out. When it comes to choosing baby shower favors, there are so many possibilities. Look for the one you believe will be best for your guests and will also suit your budget. Planning a Baby Shower is all about collecting moments that will be remembered forever. Don’t forget to document everything and enjoy every moment of this very special celebration.
