Need Creative Ideas for Wedding Shower Favors ?
Wedding showers can be a lot of fun. The excitement of the Bride to be, everyone gathering together to celebrate. Punch, appetizers, presents and cake. Sounds like a good Sunday to me.
There are so many different kinds of wedding showers. I’ve been to them at country clubs, banquet halls, family homes and recently a college. One thing they all have in common is beautifully wrapped gifts in glitter and bows. By far the best part of the shower is watching the Bride as she unwraps her new gifts. Sometimes the groom attends, sometimes he stays home. Either way everyone always seems to have a nice time.
Shower favors are a traditional way to say thank you to all the guests. At his last wedding shower there were small personalized notepads at each seat, used as name cards, each notepad was personalized for every woman who attended. It was by far the best shower favor I have ever received.
After three hours of friends, laughs, gifts and cake. The Bride graciously thanked everyone for their generosity. I had to make it a point to thank her for the notepad. I wish I would have thought of this last year when I got married. But, I will be sure to pass on the idea.
I know she is headed home to put all the new gifts away and get started on all her thank you cards.

Wow, what a wonderful favor idea. This would also work for a baby shower or any kind of party. Personalized stationery always makes a great gift. I am constantly leaving myself notes around the house and the office.

So let me get this straight, when women go to a bridal shower party they get gifts?

Mike, yes, it’s traditional at a wedding or baby shower to leave small favors or gifts at the guest chairs. It just shows you appreciate that they showed up. Oh, there are also Wedding favors that are left at the wedding table for each guest.

Notepads would make an excellent favor for a shower. This could work well for a bridal or baby shower and any other types of parties. This is a great idea that wouldn’t cost must to produce. I noticed here at Giftsin24.com that they have an item called Family & Friends tablets which you receive 8 tablets and can put different names on each tablet for $25.95. You can view the item at the following link: http://www.giftsin24.com/Family-and-Friends-Tablets. This is the perfect item for these uses listed above and in the blog.

You do have to plan in advance if you are going to give a gift like personalized notepads. It’s not always easy to plan gifts this well…

Popular favors for a bridal shower include bottle stoppers, bottle openers, place card holders, key chains, ice cream scoopers, personalized stationery with pens, compact mirrors, luggage bags, note pads, personalized stationery, champagne buckets, cake servers and much, much more.

So what do you have planned for the bridal shower? How many bridesmaids will be in attendance? What type of invitations, cards or notes will you employ?
Here’s a little history behind the famed party that celebrates the last dance of the bride. It’s a gift giving party for the bride that began in the 1890s. It is “said to have grown out of earlier dowry practices.” Without money to make the world go round friends of the future bride would gather bearing gifts, good graces and assistance in completing the wedding. The earliest bridal showers originated in Brussels, Belgium of all places around 1860, even as far back as 16th and 17th Century Netherlands. The first printed record of a bridal shower in America occurred in Grand Rapids, MI in 1904 .
In modern day America bridal shower gifts run the range from his and her towels, cups, napkins, dishes, candles, gift baskets, aprons, lingerie, champagne glasses, Domain Chandon Imperial, monogram coasters, monogrammed personalized stationery, coffee makers, jewelry boxes, the list can go on and on.
