Selecting Bridal Shower Party Favors
One of the many events leading up to a wedding is the bridal shower. This is usually a party just for the bride and her female friends and family members. The guests usually bring gifts, and there are refreshments served. There are also usually games played as well as favors and prizes given out. There are many different bridal shower party favors available from both brick-and-mortar stores as well as online retailers.
Candles - Small votive candles are popular bridal shower party favors. They are inexpensive and can easily be personalized. There are retailers that will put the bride and groom's names and the wedding date on the candle. It is also possible to find votive holders that are related to the wedding theme or the theme of the bridal shower.
Candies - This is another favor for which many retailers offer personalization. There are a wide variety of candies available, including Jordan Almonds, mints, and chocolate bars. They can also be packaged in cute, theme-related containers.
Lotion - Small bottles of hand lotion, or even body spray, make nice bridal shower party favors. The scent can be picked based on the theme of the wedding or bridal shower, or a variety can be picked out, allowing the guests to select the scent they like best.
Notepads - Another favor that is easy to customize, small notepads make a great favor, especially when they are magnetic and come with a pencil. Again, they can be related to the wedding or shower theme, or have the bride and groom's name and wedding date on them.
Jewelry - While definitely one of the more expensive options, necklaces and bracelets can make a very nice favor. It is probably best to avoid earrings as not everyone had pierced ears and some people can only wear certain types of posts. Picking a necklace or bracelet that matches the wedding or shower theme makes for a very special keepsake.
Goody Bags - We all remember going to birthday parties and getting the goody bag at the end. It was great fun to go through and see what was in it! Giving the guests a small bag with a variety of small favors brings back this sense of childhood fun. Items can all relate to a specific theme, or simply be wedding related.
Bridal showers are a long standing tradition that many brides look forward to. Giving the guests favors as they leave is a nice way of thanking them for coming and giving them a keepsake of the event. With all the bridal shower party favors offered by party supply stores, wedding shops, and online retailers, it is easy to find just the right favors for your event.
