How To Make Diy Baby Shower Favors In 3 Easy Steps

Nowadays, planning a baby shower has become exciting, especially in giving your guests small tokens of appreciation for being able to join the celebration. The do-it-yourself baby shower favors are one of the great ideas in order not to be overly budget-conscious. Plus, making them yourself adds that extra bit of thoughtfulness that your guests will surely appreciate. Whether you are crafty or a total novice, creating adorable yet memorable baby shower favors requires just a little time and effort. This post will present three steps that can help you with your DIY baby shower favors. 

Choose a Favor That Fits Your Theme 

First, you want to pick something that really fits in with the shower theme. You'll want the favor to be cohesive with the rest of the party, whether your theme is boho chic, woodland creatures, or that classic pink and blue. For example, if you are having a shower with a forest creature theme, you may want to consider small potted plants or animal-shaped candles. If the shower is more tropical, mini bottles of tropical-scented hand sanitizer or even bath salts will work just as well. 

Once you have an idea for a favor that fits, decide how you can personalize it. A small tag or label with the baby's name or due date can make the favors feel even more special. And don't forget to keep your budget in mind. The DIY doesn't have to be expensive, so choose materials that are reasonably priced but meaningful. Such thoughtful and helpful presents indicate your concern for your guests, and things as trivial as homemade cookies wrapped nicely can leave a long-lasting impression. 

Packaging: Get Creative 

The packaging is where you can really let your creativity shine. Simple items can be transformed into elegant baby shower favors with the right wrapping and presentation. Package them into tiny jars, mason jars, or even cute little bags, and top them with ribbons, washi tape, or a personal tag. For example, you can tie a soft ribbon around the neck of a mason jar full of bath salts or candies to give that finished touch. 

One hot idea is eco-friendly or reusable packaging. Consider small burlap sacks or fabric pouches that guests can take home and reuse. It is a thoughtful, earth-friendly touch that can make your favors go from just being beautiful to functional. Attach dried flowers or greenery to the wrapping and you have a rustic touch. The key is to keep it simple but classy because the packaging is supposed to enhance the beauty of the DIY favor and not overpower it. 

Add Playful Touches with Personalized Tags 

No DIY baby shower favor will be complete without a personalized tag added to it. This little touch can make even a simple present truly memorable. Tags can include the name of the baby, the date of the shower, or just some cute message thanking the guest for coming. Popular baby shower favors right now are parenting advice tags and drinks tags, specifically Pop When She Pops tags. They're great for when your favorite is a bottle of bubbly or even alcohol. The play on a little bit of wordplay- helps really tie the gift back into the celebration of the new baby. 

These tags are easily printed at home or ordered from an online shop. You can design them yourself with simple software or using pre-made templates. You can also play with colors, fonts, and designs to match your shower's theme, too, not just stopping at words. Just attach those tags to your favor with a bit of twine or ribbon, and ta-da, a playful party favor. 

Conclusion 

Making do-it-yourself baby shower favors does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. Just choose a favor that goes along with your theme, get creative with how to package that favor, and add a personalized tag. These three simple steps will help you create beautiful, thoughtful presents that will leave marks in your guests' minds. Whether you are an experienced crafter, or this is your first try at making anything, creating your baby shower favors is one fun and rewarding way you can make the day even more special.
