It is normal to have a little gift for all the guests who attend bridal shower, but what kind of bridal shower favors do you get for your guests? Low cost gifts and ornaments for the guests can express not only your gratefulness for their attending, but can make them feel special at the same time.
Depending on the size of the event, you can either purchase gifts or handmade your own. It’s up to you. If you decide to go the handmade way, you can do simple gifts like gift boxes of assorted candies or candles wrapped in ribbon colored in the theme of the party. There is also the prospect of making food for the guests. Some will make their own bags of tea or baked good mixes to hand out to guests.
Knowing the interests of the brides can help you determine the style of bridal shower favors to hand out. If the bride is big into nature, you can make little bags of various seeds for planting. If the bride is into organic gardening, you can even find organic fertilizer to go along with the seeds. Decorate with dried flowers from your own garden or from the local florist to give it some color and contrast.
If you are short on time, there are plenty of bridal shower favors you can find at the store. Candles, bath items, and other decorative items can be used as bridal shower favors. Depending on the theme, you should cater the gifts to the tone of the party. Make sure you have extras in case someone breaks their favor, or you have some surprise guests invited by or brought by the bride and her family. You can always use them at a later date.
Remember to incorporate the bride’s interests into the favors, so that everyone is excited about the party and the upcoming wedding. You can also use the bridal shower favors as decorations throughout the room to make a statement, and show the guests how much they mean to the bride. Including nametags on the favors can make guests feel special from the moment they walk into the room. Be sure to make the guests of honor (bride, mother of the bride and mother in law of the bride) have a favor just a bit more special than the rest. After all, it is the bride’s day. Make her feel special.
