Teacups and Glitter

Are you struggling to find an affordable baby shower favour that your guests will love to take home?

If you are looking for a gift, these driftwood tealights make a perfect party favour.

Take a look at this rose-garden baby shower I hosted for my Bestie. I wanted to give out thoughtful party favours that link with the rustic theme to thank guests for coming.

I decided on some driftwood heart-shaped candle holders. They are girlie and budget-friendly, and I’m sure everybody loves a smelly candle.

You can make these pretty party favours, and I will show you how. Altogether, they only cost around £1.70 each.

I purchased the heart-shaped driftwood tealight holders from The Range. I bought a pack of pink rose-scented tealights from Primark and placed them into each candle holder. I wrapped them in cellophane and tied them with a pastel pink ribbon both bought from Hobbycraft.

Items you will need:

• Driftwood candle holder
• Tealight
• Cellophane
• Curling ribbon
• Label

The great thing about the party favours is you can adapt them to suit any baby shower theme. All you have to do is change the colour of the tealight and curling ribbon.

I placed a party favour on each table setting. A framed poem sat in the centre of the table for all guests to read.

Here is a candle that twinkles so bright,
It’s our gift for you to light,
On the day our star makes her way,
Please make a wish on our joyous day

The poem asks guests to make a wish whilst they light their tealight on the day the baby is born.

I think the poem is a beautiful way of involving everybody in the celebrations.

If I had time I would have attached a personalised tag to each individual party favour.
