Affordable baby shower??

Anyone know a good affordable place for party favors besides Iparty in Boston, or Northshore area? Or trusted website to order from. I'm having a hard time trying to plan a baby shower without going over board with money. But I want one that guests will remember....

    For my sister's bridal shower, I went to the Yankee Candle Outlet in Wrentham. I found pretty votive holders and candles in the colors of the wedding.  I added ribbons and little cards with a poem on them.

    For her wedding, my sister went to the Lindt outlet and got boxes and chocolates with ribbons and tags. I know they're not specifically baby shower favors, but we ended up getting really good deals on them. I'm sure you could find something that you could customize.

    Hi -- I used https://www.beau-coup.com/ for my wedding favors, they weren't too expensive and the favors turned out very nice.

    one alternative to storebought favors would be to find something you could bake/make, or another family member could help with as well.  I saw somebody on the baby shower board post about the idea of caramel popcorn balls and a tag that says "she's about to pop" I thought this was cute and would be something people would eat not throw out after.  At my shower the host made candy and chocolates and gave those out.  Another idea I have seen was to order a large bouquet of roses or another nice flower and let the guest of honor give each guest the flower as they say goodbye. 

    GL!

    Thank your for your input. I seen some unique items from beau-coup.com too but I was reluctant to order because there are so many sites when you search for party favors but good to heard someone here ordered from there and I can possibly look into it. Thanks again!

    Yeah, I'd do something you could make, and something consumable.  Anything I've ever received as a favor that wasn't edible was basically junked by me once I got home.  When am I going to light a little candle shaped like baby booties?  Go to Michael's and get stuff to make chocolates- sooo easy, or bake some cookies- these recipes are fabulous for sugar cookies and icing- do you know the sex?  Do pink/purple or blue/green icing:

    Wrap them up nicely and you're good to go.

     

    Have fun!
