The best place to start is to consider the theme of the party. Your bridal shower favor ideas can blend in with this theme, and it will give you a good place to start getting ideas from. The best gifts also keep the bride firmly in mind. For example, if the bride is fun loving and likes her candy, you could create a table where every place setting contains a cocktail glass filled with jelly beans or a similar type of candy that the bride loves.
Bridal shower favor ideas fall into two general groups. The first group is made up of fun and frivolous items or items that can be used up on the night. The second group contains items that are made to last, such as key chains or personalised notepads.
How Much Have You Got To Spend?

Bridal shower favors need not be extravagant or costly. Simple party favors are welcome and desired – it’s the thought that counts. Do some shopping at the Dollar Store for some fun, unusual gifts. Scented candles are always a welcome favor; nearly everyone appreciates the value of aromatherapy. Be careful; guests who are allergic to scents or particularly sensitive may not appreciate a bridal shower favor that is scented.
If this is the kind of thing you want to have it can often be cheaper to put them together yourself, and it also adds a personal touch to the proceedings. Don’t forget that if you are buying your favors elsewhere you may be able to take advantage of discounts for bulk orders.
Another great bridal shower favor idea is a picture frame with a monogram card. Write a personal note on every guest’s card and tell them how much you appreciated their coming to the shower.
Want something more fun? Cupcakes make delicious and beautiful bridal shower favors. Buy cupcake from cupcakery or make your own and decorate it in the color scheme of the wedding. You can find colorful toppers to put on the top of your cupcakes to reflect your bridal shower theme, or get a little bride and groom to top each cupcake, just like on a real wedding cake.
