Never one to arrive empty handed when kids are involved, I showed up to my shower fully armed with 15 pounds of candy and some other goodies for the young girls to take home. I actively participate in bribery on a regular basis. What can I say… what I lack in child interaction skills I make up for in buying a lot of candy. The dilemma was that the ages ranged from 2-16, and I didn’t have time to run around town buying individual gifts. Also, if you don’t give everyone the same thing, it might be a little unfair, and I wanted to avoid that too. So here’s what I came up with:

Inside each was a mini photo album, a Lip Smacker in a favor cone, a polka-dot Chinese takeout box full of candy, and some custom “princess” style cards that I made for each girl.

The stationery cards were super easy to make. I had some leftover 8.5×11 Cover Weight paper, so I cut them in half and printed out an image with each girl’s name on the card. They were a big hit, and super quick to make!

Using the same image from the stationery, I printed their names onto sparkly pink paper and taped each to a white gift bag. I added little paper flowers and some pink tisssue and thats about it!

Each bag cost around $7 to make with all the goodies inside. I think the girls loved them!

Did you give out favors at your shower or did you leave it up to the hosts?
