Unique Bridal Shower Favors-- Unique Bridal Shower Favors -- You’ve planned the cake, the games, and the invitations. Now it’s time to think of a unique way to send your bridal shower guests home in style with a one of a kind favor! Thank them for sharing in the celebrations by choosing a unique bridal shower favor that will make your guests and your bride-to-be oooh and ahh with delight! Set a Budget The first thing to do when you begin planning the favors (or the entire shower, for that matter!) is to set a budget. How much can you afford to spend, in total? Divide this by the number of guests who plan to attend, and you’ve got the price-point per item! Whether it’s $1.50 per guest or $15.00 per guest, it’s time to go shopping! Get Creative Send guests home with something they will really appreciate by getting creative! Consider buying small pots, spray painting them, and planting some herbs or flowers in each one. Attach a small tag and you’ve got yourself a unique bridal shower favor that each guest can take home and watch grow! Tip: Start this project early so the seeds have already begun to sprung - perfect for a spring shower! Looking for other DIY projects that you can create at home? Just think about your talents – are you a whiz in the kitchen? Give out sugar cookies shaped like brides! Love music? Put together a mix CD full of songs that have special meaning for the bride-to-be? Know your way around a sewing machine? Why not make a funky scarf for each guest to take home? You can choose inexpensive items such as sachets, tea packets, or fun stationery at local craft shops and dress it up with a bit of fancy ribbon. Local Power While surfing the net to find the best favor options is easy and often a great choice, for a truly unique favor, think about what’s available locally. Visit some local artisans – you may be surprised at the great rates you can get when you’re purchasing in bulk. Stained glass, pottery, unique jewelry, or local gourmet preserves are really one-of-a-kind items that your guests are sure to cherish. This is especially great if you have a lot of guests coming from out of town! Don’t be afraid to ask an artisan to make a special item, personalize a batch of something, or create a unique label just for you. Chances are, they’ll be happy to work with you to create the perfect favor! Perfectly Packaged One of the best way to make your favors stand out is to present them beautifully. Find gorgeous tissue paper, beautiful bags, and lovely ribbon to make your favors look unique from the very first glance. Spend time making the packaging extra special by hand stamping or embossing it to completely customize it! Giving out unique bridal shower favors at the end of your event is like punctuating a great sentence. Your guests had a great time enjoying the food and playing the games, so be sure to send them home with a chic and unique favor!
