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 to thank them for coming, driftwood tealights make a perfect party favour.
Take a look at this rose-garden baby shower I hosted for my friend. I wanted to give out thoughtful party favours that link with the rustic theme of the shower.
I decided on some driftwood heart-shaped candle holders. They are girlie, budget-friendly, and I am sure everybody loves receiving a smelly candle.
You can make a pretty DIY party favour, and I will show you how. Altogether, they only cost around £1.70 each.
I purchased the heart-shaped driftwood candleholders from The Range. I bought a pack of rose-scented tea lights from Primark and placed them into each tealight holder. I wrapped them in cellophane and tied them with a pastel pink ribbon.
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 the party favours on each table setting. They sat perfectly amongst the baby shower décor.
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 would have preferred to attach tags to each individual tealight. I ran out of time, but I am still happy with how they look.
I think the poem is a beautiful way of involving everybody in the celebrations.
