A baby shower will not be complete if you do not give away those cute little party favors. It is your way of thanking the guests for being part of the special occasion. These party favors will also serve as a wonderful keepsake of the coming of a baby. Here are some helpful hints that would help you when you are buying these items for the baby shower.
The important thing to remember is that there is no need to make these tokens expensive. There are many cheap items that will be special reminders of this wonderful event. Of course, the cheapest way to go is to do the favors yourself. Simply buy the small parts and assemble them in creative ways so you can give away unique tokens that guests would not want to throw away for years.
Whether you will buy the favors as they are or buy the parts and assemble them yourself, it is a lot cheaper to buy everything in bulk. You get the wholesale price if you buy in volume. Therefore, it is imperative that you know the exact number of guests who are coming before you do the purchase. That way, you would not have to go back to the store every now and then.
Some great and cheap favor ideas are the following. Decorative candles in different sizes and colors can be put in nice paper bags and tied with a bow. They not only are lovely and classy, they are also cheap especially when bought in bulk.
You can do the same with cute specially-shaped soaps. Get a few small soaps in nice pastel colors and in varying shapes, put them in a pretty bag, tie the bag with a nice bow and now, you have a perfect elegant favor. The same can be done for pretty picture frames that can be given out without wrapping them. Simply tie a bow in the theme color and hand it over to the guest.
When doing the favors yourself, a great idea would be to bake small pretty cakes that are shaped or designed like a bib. Of course, this would take time. But it is cheaper especially when you buy your ingredients in big bags. Do the cakes in batches and bake all the cakes first before designing them. There is the tendency that designs become more professional-looking when you continuously do the same action over and over.
