Need Shower Favor Ideas PLEASE?

Question

I'm doing a bridal shower December 2nd for a good friend of mine who is getting married December 30th. It will be a girly pink, white and silver theme, mid-afternoon. Please give ideas for favors. I'd like some unique ideas, not opposed to Christmas-type favors as long as they will mesh with the theme. Help a gal out!

Feel free to give ideas for the shower, too! Thanks for all the input!

Answer 1

Since it's around christmas time, i would give out already decorated pink, silver and white christmas ornaments... and personalized ribbon with your friend's name and the date of the shower printed on them and use the ribbon as the hook to hang the ornaments with... simply wrap the ribbon around the loop of the ornament and glue the two loose ends of the ribbon together. We did this for a friend's baby shower and everyone loved it.

Answer 2

Something cheap and easy. Silver ribbon, white mesh bags and pink scented soaps. (you can get the soaps in bulk in canisters around Christmas, so this should be easy for you). If you are crafty and on a tight budget you might consider taking washed-empty baby food jars, gluing silver ribbon around the top and placing a small pink silk flower in the middle where the ribbon joins together. Then place a pink votive candle in the jar. This is a simple yet very inexpensive idea. Hope this is the information you were requesting. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 3

I would have Guest create their own favors by setting a table where they can create holiday ornaments in the colors of the shower.

Buy the clear glass ornaments from a craft store and the swirl paint to go into them.

The other favor which will be nice for a girlly shower would be a mini Cosmo kit in a martini glass. Buy the miniature Alcohol bottles from Bev mo and add them to a cheap martini glass and wrap and decorate in the colors of the shower.

I've thrown a baby shower before and I think i'd use the same favors for a wedding shower to so.....here ya go. I bought scented candles, scapbooking albums with cool little things to decorate them with, and photo albums. I also got other things but these seemed to be the most popular. Awesome colors too by the way.

Answer 5

You can buy customized mini-candy bar wrappers off Ebay. I did that for a friend's shower. They had the couples names with hearts in the colors of their wedding. On the back was the date of the shower and a thank you for coming message. I wrapped two in pink and silver mesh circles (also purchased on Ebay) and tied them with a ribbon. They looked cute!
I also bought mini travel shower gels from Loehmann's. 7 in a package for $5.00.
All of them in different fruity scents. I places on at each place setting.
Also bought mini circle stickers (off Ebay again) that had the couples name on it with hearts on them and stuck them to the bottom of about, literally 200 Hershey Kisses. I put them in heart shaped bowls on all the tables.
For "Prizes" during the games (which were fun "what's in your purse" games), each Bridesmaid did a theme basket. Nothing overly expensive. But we had a cocktail basket with cute coffee mugs, martini glasses, a few mixers, coffee samples and cocktail fixin's, etc...a "Pamper yourself" basket with lotions, oils, bubble bath, etc. You get the idea. It made for a really fun shower to have so many different treats.

Answer 6

I don't know what your friend is doing for music at the reception, but this is what we did for my wedding and at my shower and everyone loved it.

We bought a few packs of the blank Cd's with jewel cases, and CD labels to place on the disks. We burned our own music for the reception (3 disks), and then made copies to hand out as favors or "gifts" at the wedding shower. For the jewel case cover, we took the insert that came with the disk and had someone with nice handwriting, print out our names, wedding date, then found some cute wedding stickers (wedding bells, doves, and champagne glasses) and then in smaller print at the bottom labeled the disks 1,2,3 respectively. We took the 3 disks, and wrapped them up in ribbon that matched the colors for our wedding.

For my maid of honor, I made a special disk for her of music that had meaning to the two of us. It had music from every genre, but it was all songs that at one point in our friendship had some significance.

Good luck.

Answer 7

This may sound a little cheesy, but it could be cute. Make cookies in the shape of a bride or even a wedding cake and of course make it white, but with pink and silver accents. You can wrap them in a tulle circle with a pink ribbon.

Answer 8

ok bear with me here...I recently helped with shower...I made booklets welcoming guest to so and so's shower using the invitation as the theme for booklet...I decorated pens and handed them out with booklets so everyone got to take it home...all were different and we choose 2 for door prizes like the pink and silver flower together...k also everyone just loved this I put the story about the history of the bridal shower in the booklet...and the games one was so much fun...it was a blank bingo card and from brides register I made up list...people choose what to write in as bride opened the corresponding gift you marked it off ..first to bing wins prize...also in booklet were quotable quotes from famous people about marriage....also made up a little booklet for guest to give words of wisdom for the bride and groom...as for favors I might think of coffee mugs filled will a small floral arrangement or individual tea or coffees...need more ? good luck

Answer 9

Do they have any type of theme? Like for example, if they met or had their first date at a winery, maybe a bottle stopper. You get my point. Or, you can do those cute little edible cookie favors that look like lacy bustiers, purses, dresses or other feminine shapes. CD with "girl" music on it, picture frames, candles, or I saw a hand lotion/buff set given once.

Answer 10

i looked for you on the web and found a site called http://www.favorwarehouse.com/

it has a lot of ideas for both the shower and the wedding itself, and if you dont want to spend a load of money, they have really nice ninety nine cent candles and pictures frames, and other nice things that would go really well with the colors you mentioned.
