Bridal Shower Favors

Bridal shower favors are the icing on the cake of the bridal shower. Guests may have just spent hundreds of dollars showering the bride with goodies to prepare her for her new life. When they leave the party it is nice to give them a little token to show your appreciation. Wedding shower favors do not have to be as elaborate as actual wedding favors, they just have to say thank you.

Bridal shower and wedding shower party favors could be either something that you buy or something that you make. Some unique bridal shower favors you can make are bell shaped lollipops in the wedding colors or cookies with the bride and groom’s name on them. Some cheep bridal shower favors you can buy are wooden spoons from your local home supply stores tied with a ribbon in the wedding colors. A more elegant bridal shower favor would be a small handkerchief that can later be brought to the wedding to dry people’s tears.

Bridal shower favors are most often cherished when they are homemade. You could create a bridal shower wedding favor of a small sampling of the bride’s favorite desert, wrapped in tulle and tied with a personalized ribbon with the date of the bridal shower. This is a lovely idea especially if the desert will later make an appearance at the wedding reception.

Wedding and bridal shower favors can often be reflective of the theme of the shower as well. If you had a tea party then you may want to send people home with bridal shower favors of white tea bags or small petite four cakes. You could also do a very green thing for the planet and make thank you cards for the guests to take with them after the wedding shower made from seeded paper or with seed packets attached as favors. By sending guests home with a bridal shower favor of seed when they plant the flower it may begin to sprout by the wedding date symbolizing a new beginning.

Bridal shower favors do not have to cost a fortune; they just have to be meaningful. Remember, you are thanking the guests for getting something for the bride. They did not get anything for you except the honor of their presence. Even a single balloon from the shower itself may be enough to make someone feel welcomed. When you keep bridal shower favors personal and fun you can not go wrong.
