When you throw a bridal shower party you would need to be careful about all the details involved. You need to organize the party in such a manner that your friends would remember it fondly for a long time to come.

This is why the bridal shower favors need special attention because these would symbolize your appreciation and your love to each of your friends. The bridal shower favors need not be anything expensive. There are many things you can use as favors which are inexpensive yet sentimental and sweet. Most of these you could make at home, which would add to the sentimental value of the gift.

Some of the bridal shower favor ideas you could are give below:

1. Tie N Die scarf – Buy a few meters of plain silk or chiffon material. Cut it into the length of a scarf and then dye it at home using the tie n dye technique which is extremely simple to learn (check the Internet for free lessons) and easy to do at home. Your friends would be awestruck with the beauty of the scarf.

2. Home bakes goodies – are you a good cook? You can make a bag full of assorted cookies and present each of your friends one. Plus, you could give the recipes you used for each type of cookie in a small handmade booklet – so they could bake their own when they want more. In this way, they could enjoy the homemade delicious cookies you have made for them and also use the recipes whenever they need to replicate the experience – and every time they do so, they will remember you.

3. Candles – you can make some exceptional gel candles in flute glasses that would take anyone’s breath away. Just download any of the free ‘how to make gel candles at home’ instructions from any crafts website (run a search on the Net – you will find thousands) and pour it in a flute glass mixing it with a few mementos – such as a few hearts, lovely seashells, small figurines, plastic alphabets – anything that you find beautiful. Once they are ensconced in the gel they will look ethereal through the flute.

4. Potted plants – you could always buy the tiniest saplings of flowers or evergreen plants and gift them in a hand painted pot. As the plant will grow – the memory of your party will become a part of your friend’s life.

5. T-shirts with a group photograph – have a photograph taken in a group with all your friends and then apply that on a lovely t-shirt with the date of the bridal shower. This can be a very nostalgic gift and will not cost you the earth. Ensure you take the photograph well in advance (before the bridal shower), so you have the time to print it on the t-shirt.

These are only a few of the thousands of inexpensive bridal shower favors ideas that you could use. If you think for a while you too, would come up with a few great ideas yourself. Until then, you could consider using any of the above. Have a great time!
