Re: Baby Shower ?

HI I planned my own baby shower (not b/c I wanted to but b/c of family drama) ANYWAY lol.. these are the favors I gave out.

They are little glass containers filled with pink and white M&M's, I added the ribbon (from michaels) and it came with the sticker that read "___'s shower" and the date. They were really cute!!
Ordered them from an online website... beaucoup or something like that, you can google it.

Here is the pic

Hope that helps, goodluck!

Re: Baby Shower ?

I am! I'm doing the same thing my sister did for my bridal shower, which was love songs and family wedding songs, only THIS time it will be a CD of baby-inspired songs. Songs I am dedicating to my little one. The cover is going to be a sono photo and a picture of me and Dan with my big ole' belly.

Re: Baby Shower ?

Hello!! I'm also helping plan my shower. We're thinking we may probably get blue cupcake candles, they're really cute!
Check out www.wrapwithus.com. They have a warehouse in syosset, you could order online and just pick it up at the warehouse instead of paying for shipping.

Re: Baby Shower ?

I didn't plan anything but my mom and sister did potpouri sachets. They bought cute ones that looked like a baby girl dress and filled them with potpouri for the adults while filling the ones for the kids with little candies. I can't find a picture of them but I found these which I think are also really cute Chat Icon

ETA: Here they are!! These are the ones they had (much less expensive than the ones I originally posted hehe) And the potpouri goes under the skirt part in a little bag.

Re: Baby Shower ?

I did help with my baby shower and gave piggy banks as favors. I bought them online, but the shipping was more that I had planned. You can find smaller ones at Party City.

Re: Baby Shower ?

I have adorable socks that say 'Jessica's Baby Shower' & the date. I hate to give shower favors that people throw away/ collect dust. These are cute & anybody would wear them.

Re: Baby Shower ?

TTCer crashing, I'm helping throw a baby shower in 2 weeks. It's a nautical theme (her bedding is sailboats and we are having it a restaurant on the water) so I was thinking of making chocolate lollipops in the shape of sailboats and whales. Then I bought metal sand pails and I'm going to fill them with sand and then put the lollipops in them and use it was a centerpiece as well. Very easy and cute.

Re: Baby Shower ?

From Ebay, everyone loved it, they are white choclate lollypops.
I bought the tin cans from oriental trading and the labels from another ebay vendor. It says "I'm busy growing...see you soon!"
