Bridal Shower Favors

By L Hayes

Bridal showers have such a fun, girly atmosphere that bridal shower favors should also follow the same theme. Your guests will remember the event as an enjoyable experience even before the wedding. Your shower favors do not have to be just a reminder, but also a complement to the theme. There are just so many possibilities today. You can easily buy matching shower invitations, shower decorations and also the favors that will look like one coordinated occasion.

One of the best bridal shower favors, especially for lingerie themed parties, are little bodice-shaped sachets that can be filled with bath salts or potpourri or also candies. These sachets look so cute and are perfect keepsakes for the girls. There are many other wedding type shapes like wedding cakes, miniature handbags, mini beaded purses, bridal dress sachets, etc. You can also get those Victorian organza sachets for your garden party that are tied with ribbons and topped with silk roses that remind your guests of old-fashioned romance.

Amongst all the pampering that you receive as a bride, giving back to your guests, especially all the women who spoil you, is a thoughtful thing to do. For example, makeup kits or little lotion bottles, bubble baths, and personalized lip butters as bridal shower favors is thoughtful payback that they will really be thankful for. Manicure kits and soap favors will also be bonuses as is a small vial of perfume or nail polish. Personalized candles in tins that are scented in lovely fruity or floral smells are also perfect guest-pampering wedding shower favors.

Your guests might love pink polka-dotted manicure kits, but what they will also love to dangle on their purses is a key chain. A very practical favor, a key chain with feminine charms like kitty charms and wedding charms is such a lovely addition to your bridal shower favors. If you like bling, then gift your guests a large diamond ring that acts like a key chain – totally glamorous.

If you plan to pack the pantry with baked goodies, then give your guests little personalized cookies in the shape of wedding dresses and wedding cake cookies. You can also gift your friends, monogrammed petit fours or just chocolates in so many fun shapes that are a scrumptious treat.

Even cookie cutters in various shapes, like hearts or other wedding shapes, are romantic wedding favors that are also a great practical shower favor.

If you are planning a very prim and proper tea party then, of course, tea coasters and tea infusers and heart shaped sugars or even tea blends are personalized and available in marriage themed tins. Bee Mine honey jars are just the perfect accompaniment to your tea table as are heart shaped tea tablets. Tea with cakes? Personalized mini cakes are just the thing.

Finally, putting thought and imagination in your bridal shower favors can really make your bridal shower a truly fun and unforgettable experience for you as well as your guests.
Remember the nicest way to say thank you is to return the favor, literally speaking.
