Homemade Baby Shower Favors

Homemade baby shower favors are a lovely, inexpensive way to thank your guests for their participation in your shower party.

There are plenty of great ideas you can use to personalize your baby shower favors. Use a little creativity and some imagination and you'll be surprised at what you come up with.


Here are some suggestions to get you started.....

Baby Bottle Shower Favors

For These Homemade Baby Shower Favors You will need:

• Small baby bottles
• Candies
• Ribbon
• Card stock or paper

These cute baby bottle favors are quick and easy to make and your guests will love them. You'll need some small baby bottles, which can usually be bought fairly cheaply at a store. Choose blue teat rims for boys and pink for girls.


Buy some candies, such as jelly beans, mints, sugared almonds or M&Ms, and fill the bottles. Create little thank you cards for each of your guests and tie them around the bottle with colored ribbon.


Set them at each place setting on the table for your guests to snack on during the shower or take home to enjoy.

Baby Pacifier Shower Favors

There are plenty of ways to make baby pacifier favors that your guests will love, but if you make them using candies and edible glue, then everyone can enjoy a treat.

For These Homemade Baby Shower Favors You will need:

• 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
• Few drops milk
• Life saver candies
• Jelly beans
• Ribbon

Create some frosting by mixing a few drops of milk into the confectioner's sugar. This will form your edible glue and hold your baby pacifier shower favors together.


Unwrap all your life saver candies and place several flat on the bench. Dip the edge of another life saver into the frosting mixture and then stand the frosted edge inside the hole of the base candy. Repeat with as many candies as you have and leave them to dry until the frosting has completely set. These will form the base and handle of your baby pacifier.


To create a candy teat for your baby pacifier, dip a jelly bean in the icing mixture and insert it into the hole of the candy you used as the base. Leave them aside to air dry again until the frosting has set once more.


When the favors have set completely, thread some colored ribbon through the lifesaver with the open hole you used as a handle and tie with a pretty bow or cut longer lengths of ribbon if you want your guests to wear their candy pacifiers as necklaces. You can choose blue ribbon for boys or pink ribbon for girls or you might decide on various pastel baby colors to make your pacifiers look more festive.

Sugared Almonds Baby Shower Favors

Creating simple shower favors using pastel colored sugared almonds is easy and looks very effective at each table seating. Your guests will love these.

For These Homemade Baby Shower Favors You will need:

• Pastel colored candied or sugared almonds
• Tulle fabric
• Curling ribbon

Buy some candied almonds in pastel colors. You can choose blue or pink if you already know the gender of your baby or you can mix them with other pastels if you don't want anyone else to know.


Cut squares of tulle fabric big enough to form a pouch that will hold 5 or 6 sugared almonds. Tie up each pouch with colored curling ribbon and leave each candy shower favor on the table for your guests to enjoy.
