Baby Shower Favors

M&M Baby Bottles

Fill baby bottles with pastel M&Ms and place one at every seat. These make great decorations as well as favors.

Personalized Frame

Purchase inexpensive frames for each guest. Make copies of a recent ultrasound (if baby is not born), or a baby picture (if baby is born) to place in each frame.

Shower Blocks

Purchase a set of blocks at the local craft store. Paint or write on each block the expected due date, birthday, or baby's name and weight. Hand these out to each guest.

A Special Book

Ask the mother-to-be what her favorite book was as a child. Hand each guest this book as a shower favor.

Seeded Love

For this party favor you will need 6 inch fabric squares (1 for each guest) and ribbon. Ask the mommy-to-be her favorite type of flower. Sprinkle a small handful of seeds in each guest's fabric square. Bring the corners together and tie with a ribbon.

Memory Pot

Provide each guest with a small flower pot decorated with the new parents' names and the name of the baby.

Photo Coaster

This favor works best if the baby has already been born. Buy a set of photo coasters. Each guest receives 1 coaster with a picture of the baby inserted into each.

Bubbly Bottle

Give each guest a baby bottled filled with bubble bath.

Candy Bar Favorite

This favor is extremely simple if you are short on time. Buy a bunch of Baby Ruth Candy bars and tie a pink or blue ribbon around each.

Mini Muffin Tin

Purchase a mini muffin tin for each guest and attach a little note that says, "I have my little muffin. Now you can make your own."

Cupcake Mix

Ask the mommy her favorite cupcake flavor. Then, gather the ingredients (or purchase a pre-made package) and add cooking instructions. On the cooking instructions, copy a picture of the new baby or the pregnant mommy. Title it, "My little Cupcake".

Bubble Baby

Purchase mini bubbles at any party store (the bubbles used at weddings). Around the lid, attach a ribbon with the expected due date or the actual birthday of the baby.

The Birth Story

This favor is perfect for a shower after the baby is born. Get a newborn picture of the baby. Ask the mommy to write down her birth story. Take the story and the picture to a print shop and ask them to copy it to newspaper looking stationary. Then you can hand each guest a personalized baby "newspaper".

Frame Magnets

This is a quick favor if you are short on time. Purchase frame magnets from your local discount store. Instruct the guests that the magnets are for the photos of the new baby that will be sent through the years.

Memory Montage

If the baby shower is semi intimate (ie: small family shower, old friends, new friends), create a video montage of memories. Before the shower, travel to each person's home and record them discussing a memory of the mother or father-to-be (or have them send a video). Then, make a copy for all the guests.
