Baby Shower Favor

Any suggestions? Want to be practical, and nothing that people will just toss aside. for my bridal shower we did pashminas . . . and they were such a hit!

Re: Baby Shower Favor

My mom did crystal paper weights.. everyone loved the idea! She didn't want to do something people just tossed aside like you said or something that was "too baby". I loved the idea...

She also thought about doing cupcakes, but decided to go with the weights.

Re: Baby Shower Favor

I will only do edible. Every favor I have ever received at a shower or wedding that was not edible went in the garbage.

Re: Baby Shower Favor

I was thinking about cupcake towels (they are shaped into a cupcake and so cute!).....and one of my co-workers is an amazing baker, I was thinking about asking her to do cake pops for the shower (she just brought some in last week and they were amazing!)....I'll have to ask her what she'd charge.

And a question for the OP- were did you buy pashminas for your bridal shower? The cheapest I've seen them is $5, so curious if you can get for less buying wholesale....thanks!

I think my mom paid about $7 each for them to be wrapped with a tag and everything. She bought them from The Wedding Company in Manhasset (different owners now). Although honestly, they are the same ones you can buy on the streets in the city. I'm thinking you can talk them down from $5 if you're buying a lot. And you can easily wrap them yourself in a mesh bag or something
