subject: Bridal Shower Favors [print this page] It is customary around the world to give bridal shower favors or small gifts to the attendants of the bridal shower. Lately more and more people are asking the question why do we give favors at the bridal shower if the couple will be giving favors at the wedding reception? With finances in mind, many people believe that inviting them to the wedding is enough.
The presentation of bridal shower favors serves the purpose to thank the attendees for taking the time and effort to be present at the bridal shower. If you take in to consideration that the bride and groom to be are not the hosts of a bridal shower, it tends to be the appropriate thing to do to present bridal shower guests with favors.
The smile and appreciation on the face of your guests will remain long after the cost and effort you incurred with the favors has faded. If you had been to a bridal shower before and preserved some of those favors you received, you will know what they meant to you and the pleasant feeling you experience every time you see the favor or think about the shower.
With so many bridal shower favors to choose, where or how does one get started? A good place to start is with your budget first before anything else. If you will entertain 30 guests at the bridal shower and need to provide a favor to each of them at $4 a piece you will be spending $120 dollars on the favors alone.
One idea for a bridal shower favor that happens to be a favorite favor is a key ring. A clear customable key ring can be used where a photo of the soon to be bride are attached and a personal message on the reverse side of the photo. This will surely keep the memories of the bridal shower lingering. If this is not to your liking, you can make your choice out of thousands of different colors and designs to suit your preferences.
Very, very few people do not like chocolate and hardly any other sweets can compare to the decadent delight of a neatly dressed up piece of chocolate! Picture a medium sized chocolate heart filled with sweet caramel wrapped in shimmering cellophane tied with a golden satin ribbon. Who can resist such a bridal shower favor?
The idea that is both charming and long-lasting are miniature flower pots with a tiny trailing plant inside. The soon to be bride gets a larger version of the plant of which the smaller plants symbolizes to be off-springs of the "mother plant". With this type of bridal shower favor, guests will be able to always remember the special bridal shower day before the wedding.
