by Joe Palladino, Joe

When planning a bridal shower there are many things you will need to consider to ensure this special day is a successful one. From the party guests, to the congratulation cake, from the flowers, to the theme, to the dinner menu and the seating of your guests, these are just a few things you will need to prepare for your bridal shower. Another important factor that you will need to consider are bridal shower favors.

Bridal shower favors come in all shapes and sizes. Regardless if they are bigger than a bread box or as small as a popcorn kernel, it is really not the size that matters, what really matter's is that the favor comes from the heart to let your family and friends know how much you care and appreciate the fact that they have all come together to celebrate the unity of marriage.

So when deciding on the perfect bridal shower favor here are some of the things you must consider. What exactly do I want to express to my friends and family for sharing my special day with me? When I do decide on the perfect bridal shower favor should I have them personalized? Should I go shopping and buy a bridal shower favor from my favorite online wedding boutique, or should I buy the supplies and make these favors myself?

Once you have decided on which direction you want to go, you then need to decide on what is your budget that you can afford on the shower favors. When this is all in order it is now time to choose your favors. If you cannot afford to offer your reception guests expensive shower favors there are many favors out there that are very reasonably priced and sure to make your guests happy. Just be sure that the shower favors are thoughtful, useful and most importantly will make your guest appreciate and remember the special day.

When shopping for bridal shower favors keep in mind that they should be practical and serve many purposes. Bridal shower favors to consider that would be classified as useful would be salt and pepper shakers, wine bottle stoppers, compact heart mirrors, bookmarks, love photo coasters and picture frames and a beautiful Calla Lily spreader. There are much more options that you can choose from but these are just a few examples from our experience that reception guests like to keep around the house.

More often than not a bridal shower is a once in a lifetime event. Proper planning plays a big role to ensure that your bridal shower becomes a very memorable occasion. To give you better ideas on picking your personal bridal shower for your guests, it is a good idea to shop around with a friend. Things like going to the mall to a gift shop and see what they have to offer. Or a more specialized store like a keepsake gift shop, this will give you great ideas on bridal shower favors.

Just remember to plan ahead early enough so this way you can be well prepared for your bridal shower.

No matter the time, theme or place of your bridal shower; party favors are fast becoming the norm in shower protocol. No matter how small, a token of thanks in the form of a gift will make each wedding shower guest feel special. Bridal shower favors can be given by the bride herself, the hostess of the party or the bride's mother or future mother-in law.

Though not required, bridal shower favors add to the party festivities and provide a memento of the special time family and friends spend with the bride before her big day. Bridal shower favors need not be expensive or extravagant. Small and sweet is the mind-set here. Those that follow the theme of the shower or the interest of the bride and groom are best.

There are many options for great bridal shower favors. In fact, there are so many gift options it can be overwhelming to choose the right party favor for your guests. The trick here is to keep it simple, follow the shower theme and the choice becomes much easier. This list of ideas should help:

Decorative Shower Favors - Bridal shower favors can be incorporated into the shower theme and decorations. A break-away centerpiece performs this function beautifully while adding to the glamour of the table arrangements. This can be a flower arrangement made up of separate vases for each guest or an assortment of gift boxes artfully arranged.

Theme Shower Favors - These favors follow the bridal shower theme. How about monogrammed towels or flip-flops for a spa shower. A personalized tea cup for a formal tea party shower. Wine glass charms for a wine tasting shower. Engraved garden trowel for a garden shower. Votive candles for a formal dinner party shower.

Shower Favor Trees - Another great idea for adding a decorative element. This is great for any season but also works great for winter bridal showers. Tie party favors, wrapped or unwrapped, onto a centerpiece tree. These favors can be small like bags of specialty candy or fancy bookmarks or personalized ornaments.

Tasty Treat Shower Favors - These can be fun and creative like decorated cookies personalized with icing. Unique personalized candies. Engraved tea tins or jam jars with personalized labels. How about favorite foods of the bride or groom? Food favors work great for coed wedding showers.

Double-duty Shower Favors - Favors can also perform a party function like table nameplates that guest can use later as photo frames or business card holders. Perhaps a glass or plate with personalized engraving. Maybe a pair of chopsticks engraved with the bride and groom names and wedding date.

Bon-voyage Shower Favors - Will the happy couple be heading of to an exotic beach honeymoon destination? How about personalized beach bags or sun visors? Lip balm in personalized tins. Perhaps a pair of personalized flip flops?

No-Muss Favor - Place a large decorated basket full of wrapped party favors near the door and be sure each guest takes one on their way out. These can be as simple as a small framed photo of the bride and groom or an engraved key chain.
