Maid of Honor - Bridal Shower Favors
As the Maid of Honor you are the hostess for the bridal shower and therefore you are responsible for giving out a party favor. Bridal shower favors a fun memento of the occasion.
If the bridal shower has a theme you will want your favor to fit the theme. If there is no theme you can try to come up with something that is appropriate and will be appreciated by everyone.
As a great favor for a bridal shower you can give out photo CDs which include photos of the bride growing up which is set to music. Other great fit ideas can be jars of candy, custom written poems, bath oils and so forth.
As Maid of Honor, you will make your guests happy by not giving potpourri. Most people have drawers full of the stuff or it is thrown away. Unless you know the Bride and/or her guests love the stuff - stay away from it!
The favors you give at the bridal shower do not have to be overly expensive and can actually be homemade. Some of the nicest favors can be created at home and be a special gift for everyone attending.
Try to incorporate the personality of the Bride into the favor and people will appreciate it even more. Just remember, the favor is nothing to stress yourself over and you don’t need to spend tons of money on them.
If you get stuck ask around and find out what other people like to receive as a favor and then add your own flair to it. As Maid of Honor you know the Bride the best, so use that to your advantage in picking the perfect bridal shower favor.
