Ten Thoughtful and Fun Bridal Shower Party Favors

Your bridal shower party favors are meant to be special reminders of your bridal shower celebration to all of your guests. In addition, your bridal shower favors can add or compliment the theme of your shower, helping to make it more enjoyable to all that attend. Therefore, the best shower party favors are those that are both fun and decorative, yet are thoughtful and will be enjoyed by your guests for years to come.

Cookie Cutters

One of the best types of bridal shower party favors you can provide is a cookie cutter or two. There are a wide variety of cookie cutters available online and in stores. Therefore, it should be no problem choosing one that fits easily within your theme. Or, simply purchase cookie cutters in the shape of a heart and add your own message saying, “Cut out for Love.” Your cookie cutters are sure to be a hit – and every time your guests bake cookies, they will think of you!

Photo Albums

Mini photo albums also make great bridal shower favors. You can purchase plain ones and add your own design, or find ones with a cover design that suits your bridal shower theme or the general theme of love and togetherness. Your guests can later use their mini photo albums to keep pictures from your wedding safe and easy to flip through over and over again!

Disposable Camera

To help encourage your guests to take pictures of your shower and of your future wedding, provide them with disposable cameras at your bridal shower. You can even include your own special message, such as “Picture Perfect Couple” on each camera.

Sewing Kit

Giving your guests miniature sewing kits is another thoughtful and fun idea for your bridal shower party favors. Include a message stating, “Sew in Love” on the outside of your kits and your guests will certainly think of you each time they repair a button!

Recipe Card Holder

A recipe cardholder can help you send the perfect message during your bridal shower, while lending itself to practicality. There are many different types of recipe cardholders available both online and off. There are even some shaped like kitchen items, such as a rolling pin. Recipe holders are excellent for a kitchen themed bridal shower. In addition, you can add your own “recipe for love” to the recipe holder or include a special poem or phrase on the card. Every time one of your guests cooks her favorite recipe, she will think of you!

Cheese Grater

A cheese grater can be an adorable bridal shower favor. Add some ribbon to the handle or some other decorative flair to create a unique and attractive decoration. Include a note saying, “Love is Grate.” Each time your bridal shower guest grates some cheese, vegetables, or fruit, she will remember the great times she had at your shower, as well as your special sentiment.

Manicure Set and Compact Mirror

Give your guests something to remember by giving them a heart shaped manicure set. Many are available at both online and offline bridal specialty stores. You can also purchase a heart shaped compact mirror and include a message saying, “Love into the eyes of love.” Depending on your bridal shower theme, you might look for a different shape for your manicure set and compact mirror. No matter the theme, however, hearts will always work.

Key Chain

A key chain can make a fabulous bridal shower favor. Many different key chains can be found in a variety of designs, colors, and styles. Therefore, it should be easy to find one matching your shower theme. If not, you can purchase clear plastic ones and insert something such as a photo, poem, or special saying inside, such as “The key to love is ____. (You fill in the blank!)”
