Bridal shower party favors are traditionally given to all guests at the bride's shower. Most bridal showers are given by a member of the wedding party - most often it's considered the responsibility of the maid of honor. These gifts are given to thank the guests for coming, and can be small trinkets or more elaborate, expensive gifts, depending on your budget. If you've been tasked with finding favors for a bridal shower, here are some ideas to help you along.
Bridal Shower Party Favors that Reflect the Bride's Personality
Since the party is to honor the bride's special day, the party should reflect something of her personality and tastes.?One popular trend for bridal showers is to plan the party around a central theme - usually something the bride likes. It's especially fun to decorate for this type of party. This is a great way to make the party memorable and reflect the personality of the bride herself.
For instance, if the bride loves to hang out at the beach, you could plan an ocean-themed party, or if she is a huge sports fan you can use her favorite team as a basis. Here are some ideas:
* Beach Theme:?colorful plastic flip flops, sunglasses, water spray bottles, sun visors, beach towels
* Sports Theme:?pennants from her favorite team, ball caps, imprinted team coffee mugs, small stuffed baseballs or footballs imprinted with the brides name and date of the event
* Gardening Theme:?packets of seeds (vegetables or flowers), colorful gardening gloves, small gardening tools (trowel, hand spade)
Bridal Shower Party Favors with a Homemade Touch
If you're on a budget and have a creative flair, you can make your own party favors for the guests. The sky is the limit on this type of gift! For very little money and a small investment of time, you can create gifts that both reflect the bride's tastes and give the guests a way to remember the party with fondness. Some ideas for homemade gifts include:
* Satchets made with squares of nylon net, tulle, or organza, filled with pot pourri or dried lavender, and tied with a pretty ribbon.
* Scented candles made using moulds or canning jars. You can find the materials at your local crafts store on or the internet.
* A CD with a mix of the bride's favorite songs, or a collection of classic love songs. You can design and print special, personalized CD covers with the bride's name and date of the party, and a list of the guests' names.
No matter what kind of bridal shower party favors you choose, you're sure to have a hit with gifts.
