When you are hosting an event where gifts from your guests are very likely, it is always nice to be able to send them away with a small gift in return.
With this in mind, I decided that for my baby shower I would make some favor bags for my guests.
We used some clear plastic gift bags measuring 21 x 9cm with a base (gusset) measuring 5cm. We filled the bags with a selection of retro sweets that I hoped my guests would recognise and love to nibble once again.
I designed the label for the favor bags myself using a photo I had taken and adding text over the top of it. I then printed the labels out on card to make them more sturdy, I also designed the size of the label so that it was just slightly wider than the width of the bags as this made the overall appearance of the favor bags look neater. My tags measured 15.5 x 10.5cm
The writing on the tag was positioned a third of the way down, so the top of the tag could be folded over the top of the bag.
The bags were then securely sealed with a couple of staples at the back of the the bags.
The sweets went down very well, especially with the children who attended my shower.
A fun way to show your appreciation of your guests.
I placed my favor bags on a large table in the sitting room, and then moved them to a table closer to the front door when my guests started to leave.
Have a great day peeps.
Love Cherry

Hi Cherry,
I really like your baby shower favor bags, they are gorgeous! I was wondering if you have photographs of your baby shower? I write a blog called Here Comes Baby and I am looking for lovely British baby showers to showcase. I would also link to your blog to your baby shower ideas. I hope to hear from you.
Best Regards,
Kirsty
