Bridal Shower Favors Bridal shower favors add the sparkle to a bridal shower. They are the icing on the cake, the finishing touch that everyone expects, the take-out gift that gets slipped into each guest’s purse as she leaves the party. Everyone at the bridal shower will “ooh” and “ahh” over the bridal shower favors and thank the hostess profusely for her creativity and thoughtfulness in having such unique bridal shower favors. It’s definitely not good when a bridal shower favor has recently been spotted at another bridal shower. Originality wins the most points when judging bridal shower favors. That’s probably why some hostesses take the time to create original favors for a bridal shower. But for those women who are too busy to be creating something at the last minute out of construction paper and double-sided tape, there are thousands of ready-made bridal shower favors on the market. Most bridal shower favors will follow the theme of the bridal shower, if there is a theme. There are no points awarded for cost when it comes to the best bridal shower favors, meaning that guests could care less whether a hostess spent 50 cents on a favor or $5.00. [Pullout: 
]Again, it’s the originality and coordination with the theme that are the most important characteristics of a good bridal shower favor. A bridal shower favor should be made to be a gift for the guest. It’s something that a guest can take home, set on a shelf and remember the bride-to-be (at least for a week or so) It is also appreciated when the favor is edible. Women love to take edible treats home and stash them away for those ‘sweet tooth’ moments. In a recent peek at bridal shower favors available on the internet, these were just a few that caught my eye: a pack of note cards, frosted glass votive candle, melon baller, “A-Peel to My Heart” vegetable peeler, picture keychain, “Highlight of My Life” highlighter, heart-shaped pocket calculator, set of salt & pepper shakers, pancake mold, palm tree cookie cutter, teapot timer, The “Gratest Love of All” cheese grater, “A Slice of Love” pizza cutter, honey pot with dipper, shoe-shaped bottle opener, pedicure set, and a pack of sticky notes. As you can see, bridal shower favors come in all shapes and sizes.
