Bridal Shower Favor Ideas That Your Guests Will Love

It's becoming increasingly popular for the hosts of bridal showers to provide their guests with small gifts or favors as a way of thanking them for attending their party. While it certainly isn't expected, it's a thoughtful way to show appreciation for the gifts they have given to the bride and the support they have shown her on that day. Favors can also be used as part of the shower decorating and can add a touch of fun and whimsy to the event.

A great way to incorporate favors into the shower is to use them as part of a theme. If the bride is planning a beach-themed wedding, you could hint at this by giving away starfish soap favors, or shell candle wedding favors. Your shower doesn't need to have a beach theme for this to work, especially if the guests already know of the wedding theme.

If your shower has a theme of it's own you can easily use favors to help define it. An afternoon tea shower is the perfect occasion for including a fun favor like a heart-shaped tea infuser at each place setting. You could also use other related favors, such as small whisks or measuring spoons or coffee scoops shaped like hearts.

A spa-themed shower is a fun way to get everyone relaxed and enjoying themselves, including the bride. What better gifts to include than little manicure sets or lightly scented soaps? These favors are fun reminders of the shower that guests can then use at home for a bit more pampering.

If you don't want to get into a theme for the shower, you can opt for simpler favors. Some of the more popular ideas include pretty scented candles wrapped in a tulle bag, or a small picture frame with a special thank-you message displayed in it. The favors can be placed in a large bowl and used as a centerpiece, or they can be positioned at each chair or place setting if you're sitting at a table for refreshments.

Bridal shower favors can be fun, but they definitely aren't mandatory. If there are a few people throwing the shower together, the cost of the favors can be split among them, making the favors a very affordable option. You don't need to spend a lot of money, and the favors can be a wonderful reminder of a fun afternoon or evening spent with friends and family.
