Making a Homemade Baby Shower Favor Doesn't Take a Lot of Time

When you have the right materials and a longer afternoon,
a homemade baby shower favor is easy.

Just set aside a little time with some close friends, and the favors will be done before you know it. All you need now is an idea as to what homemade baby shower favor will be a hit.

The best and the easiest baby shower favor to make is one that comes straight out of the oven or pantry. Cupcakes and cookies are simple to make as well as decorate to match the overall baby shower theme. Just head to the local grocery store for all of the fixings that you might want and have fun taste testing them as you make these favors.

A simple sugar cookie mix or white cake mix can be the perfect palette for a homemade baby shower favor. These can be either purchased (we won't tell) or made by your own recipe. It's the ingredients that go on top of these sweets that really make them special.

You will want to start these favors with a little frosting or icing of your choosing. While the colored frostings are slightly more expensive, they can save you time. No one wants to get out the food coloring only to make brown colored icing that doesn't taste like chocolate.

Then pick up some baby-themed decorations at the local specialty store. These can be affixed to the tops of the confections and made to match the overall theme of the party. Wrap these goodies up in cellophane or plastic wrap to make sure that they go home with your guests.

And not eaten during the course of the shower itself.

A homemade baby shower favor can also be something that is not edible. A nice little photocopy or digital picture of the sonogram can be a cute keepsake. Just take a label and put the name (if there is one yet) as well as expected date of arrival on the back.

A homemade baby shower favor is really one that comes from the heart, and not necessarily the pocketbook. Use that motherly creativity and find a great way to celebrate your guests.

Throwing a Baby Shower on a Budget

When wondering about the budget of a baby shower, determine just how much time you have, how much money you can afford to spend and then bring it all together.

Did you know that you can throw a baby shower for just a few hundred dollars?

You can do this if you plan on several key things like doing the food yourself, making invitations and by decorating inexpensively.

In fact, there is no need to spend more than you can really afford on the baby shower budget.

Pull together the friends of the mother to be and ask them just who can do what to make this day special for the new couple.
