Default Baby Girl Shower Favors

I have been asked to make party favors for my sister-in-laws baby shower. Any ideas out there? I have not done a search yet but I thought I would check with the wonderful SCS.

I would love to have ideas too. I am helping w/ a baby shower next month.

One thing I know I am making is a journal for everyone to sign and write the well-wishes for the new mom and baby (dad too I guess!!)

When I gave my daughter her baby shower, I saved baby food jars (actually had someone save them for me)....washed and with labels removed. I painted the lids blue (she was having a boy), then put blue jelly beans in the jar. I also printed out the ultrasound picture and adhered those to the side of the jar...but, you could use baby feet and hands or anything like that. Then tied a bow around the jar lid and Voila! They were a hit at the shower. The other thing I did was make diaper cakes for centerpieces. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I found the pattern, but I'm sure a google search would turn it up. HTH

I am hosting a baby shower in May for my niece. Yesterday I did a search and found this site www. babyshower4u.com
I printed out some of the items & copied them myself.
I made a bag like the tea holder out of an envelope which I printed on the computer with the info. Then I stamped a Raggedy Ann or Andy in the middle. That's our theme.
This site has some really cute items on it.

I'm actually in the process of making favors for my friend's shower that we're having soon. I am CASE'ing the idea posted by JulieHRR in the DD gallery last month and it was also posted here by stampinstephanie and vaniamaybell (the first ones I saw).

Here is a link to vaniamaybell's girl version:

Here is a link to stampinstephanie's boy version:

Here is a link to JulieHRR DD design (you'll have to be a member to access the photo):

Hope this helps! I can't wait to finish mine. It is such a cute idea and I'm so glad people are willing to share such things on here!

I just had a baby shower today for my best friend, and I used my block wheel on white paper (lovely lilac) and stamped a baby from another set in the blocks (sage shadow). The colors for the nursery are those colors. I wrapped Hershey bars and gave them out. Not fancy, but everyone liked them- good luck!

Thanks for sharing that website. I'm throwing a couple of baby showers in a few months, and I really liked some of the ideas on there. Definitely doable on your own! One of my favorites is the candle, which you could make using the Sweet Feet wheel and maybe a saying and then wrap up in colored tulle! Thanks again!

For my sister's shower I stamped Avery 5160 white labels with the Sweet Feet wheel. I wrapped the labels around Hershey's Nuggets and Hershey's Treasures. We scattered them on the tables with baby confetti from the Party Store but you could also put them in a cello bag with crinkled paper filler and a coordinating topper.
