She's About to Pop Baby Shower Favors and Prize Ideas

Start out by giving away a "Movie Gift Basket" to one of the big prize winners! I like to wrap a related DVD ("Knocked Up" or "Baby Mama"), one individual bag of popcorn (they have them personalized now with a pregnant mommy silhouette that says "about to pop", a 20 oz bottle of soda, and a bar of candy (may include a personalized wrapper with the theme of the shower) in a gift basket wrapped in cellophane.

For the grand prize, you can include a DVD player often on sale at Wal Mart for $29. These make great baby shower prizes and favors!

I found the photo above here.

Editor's Note (Amy):

For baby shower decorations you can have several balloons floating around with cute tags attached to them saying "POP"

Have a large cylinder glass vase filled with colorful gumballs and include a scoop and little bags for guests to scoop out gumballs and fill their bag to take home as a favor! This is a great idea if children are attending the baby shower!

You can also take the same gum ball idea and put colorful flowers into the vase! The gumballs make them so much cuter! Only don't let guests eat them ;)

Serve a large bowl of popcorn with M&M's mixed in with it.



I made these FREE "She's About to Pop" Favor Tags that you can download and print from home! You can grab them here!

Another cute idea that was submitted by one of our readers, Erin was:

"I bought Tootsie Pop Lollipops and covered them with tulle and attached a gift favor tag with ribbon that read Look Who's Gonna Pop!!! I also included the mommy to be name and the date of the baby shower. You can also do "Guess Who's Gonna Pop?" They were easy to make and affordable"

This is such a great idea! A way to add to this would be to buy a Styrofoam cone (tree shaped) and spray paint it to match the color of the baby shower theme. After it is dry poke lollipops into the tree and add to the food table. Add a cute sign saying (mom's name) Lolli"POP" tree!

To add to this even more... mark the bottom of one or two of the lollipop sticks before inserting them into the tree. When guests arrive have each guest pick a lollipop. The ones who grab the colored stick lollipops win a prize!
