Bridal Shower Favor
From LoveToKnow Weddings
Most hostesses like to send their guests home with a bridal shower favor. Favors serve two purposes, the first is to have a token to commemorate the day. The second is to say “thank you” for being in attendance. While it’s not mandatory to give each guest a bridal shower favor, it’s usually expected and appreciated.
Bridal Shower Favor Ideas
Something to keep in mind is how guests enjoy favors that are esthetically pleasing, unique or serves a purpose. Picking up any old cheap plastic favor is a waste, as these are destined for the trash bin. While you don’t have to spend a lot of money, you can still choose a bridal shower favor that is classy and in good taste. Functional favors are best because they don’t contribute to household clutter. When choosing a bridal shower favor, consider their purpose. Will your guests use them or throw them in a drawer?
What follows are some bridal shower favor ideas.
Food and Beverage Favors
A food bridal shower favor is always popular. Food favors can be mini wedding cakes, small boxes of chocolate, or frosted cookies. These usually come wrapped in decorative cardboard boxes or tins imprinted with the shower’s date and the bride’s name. Many cakes, cookies and even candies come in the shape of an umbrella or wedding cake, or you can request goodies made up in your chosen theme.
Beverage favors are also popular. Coffee and tea are presented in decorative packages with the name and date commemorated on the front label. If you’re truly feeling ambitious, pair them up with tea cups or coffee mugs. Also available are wine, champagne and sparkling cider in decorative bottles and labels.
Candle Bridal Shower Favors
Candle wedding favors are a popular favorite. Among the favorites are candles shaped like miniature wedding cakes.
