Inexpensive bridal shower favors don't have to be unimpressive. You may be on a tight budget, or have a very large guest list and need to control your costs per item. Whatever the reason, your bridal shower favors can still make a positive statement. The following are tips and ideas that will make your favors shine.
o Adding a hang tag to any item, with the bride's name and date of the shower, automatically makes it more appealing. You can make them yourself, for pennies. Attach with a ribbon in one of the party colors.
o Buy candy bars, packets of gum, or boxed mints on sale. Create a label with a party design, name of bride, and date of the shower. Cover the bars, and you have a great personalized idea. You can also order these wrappers very inexpensively online.
o Check out your local dollar store. If you haven't been to one lately or ever, you may be surprised at the quality of what you find.
o Mini soaps come in different shapes. Find some that match your party theme or colors. Wrap in tulle, tie with a ribbon, and add a hang tag. You can do more than one, but even one soap done this way, looks nice.
o Candles are inexpensive bridal shower favors. They come in all different, shapes sizes, and scents. You're sure to find some in your price range.
o Make your own cookies. Put in a cellophane bag, and add a decorative sticker that relates to your party theme. You could also use a mini box.
o Small frames, or magnet frames can be found at reasonable prices. Add a picture of the bride, bride and groom, or just the name and date of the shower, for a cute favor.
o Add drink charms to plastic party glasses. Make them yourself, easily. Add beads in party colors, or designs that relate to your theme, to drink charm holders sold in craft stores. Let guests take home their glass with the attached charm.
o Fresh flowers from your garden are free. Put them in a vase or pot, for an easy idea.
o Use a low cost item that relates to your theme. For instance, tea bags for a tea party theme, or a spice for a cooking theme. Just attach a ribbon and hang tag to it. Your guests will get the idea.
The above suggestions were to get you thinking. Inexpensive bridal shower favors can be fun, pretty, theme related, or personalized. They definitely don't have to be boring.
