Your best friend is expecting a baby and she doesn’t know what to expect from her baby shower. He comes to you and says “help me!” When you start planning a baby shower, you realize that it has to be on a budget and can be done in a short amount of time. What are you doing?
Here are some ideas on how to throw a baby shower with favors that don’t cost a fortune and can still be memorable!
Baked goods
When it comes to price, many people think about bubble bottles. When one has a budget, one can cook for a price. Some ideas could be baking cookies in different baby shapes or even making pink or blue cakes. If you’re having a baby during the holidays, check the store to see if there’s anything you can use to put those baked goods in.
photo frames
Your friend has given you a photo of the baby if it has been born or an ultrasound image of the baby and asked you to include it in some way in the shower theme. As far as prizes go, handing out pictures of the kids might seem like a good idea, but moms who just want to put them on display. Go to the store and buy a cheap photo frame. Then look around your house and see what you can stick to. Some suggestions might be buttons and/or beads. Then in the shower, take pictures of the happy guests. When sending a thank you note, include a photo of them having fun so they have something to include in the photo you send them. Baby bottle cap
The idea of a baby shower is to help the new mother celebrate with her family and friends that a new life is coming into the world. One idea that can come up if someone or maybe you are considering buying a batch of baby bottles as a gift for mom-to-be is to ask them not to send it to mom-to-be. What you can do is wash them and fill them pink or blue with white chocolate M&M’s and/or some type of candy. Popular and affordable baby shower candies include chocolates, sixlets, mint balls, and cute little jellies. If the bottle is too big, it can save you money if you add swirl pacifiers to it to fill the space. You can add a touch by tying a ribbon around them (usually blue and/or pink ribbon), and add a note to the ribbon to thank the guests for coming. Guests can return all bottles after filling to help new moms have more bottles!
