When making decisions for the shower, be it the theme, decorations or favors, keep the bride in mind. Sounds simple but can sometimes be overlooked. The shower can be personalized around the bride's favorite things or what the bride needs. 

Her Favorite Things - No we're not talking about girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes! We're talking about what the bride loves, is in to or is known for. Below are some bridal shower favor ideas by category:

Try wine charms favors. These come in all shapes and sizes to it's easy to personalize to either the theme, the bride or to each guest! Wine bottle stoppers also come in about every shape and size under the sun and are lots of fun: Hearts, butterflies, chrome 'diamond rings', starfish - you name it!

 Does she love to cook? - Look for heart shaped teaspoons, mini whisks, or pizza cutters.

Bridal Shower Party Favor Idea #4: Gardening

 Does she love to garden? - Try floral printed scissors grouped with a personalized seed packets. How about a  3 pack of flower shaped floating candles wrapped up in a pretty cellophane bag.

Bridal Shower Party Favor Idea #5: Girly Girl - Wrap up a gift bag complete with personalized mint tin, lip balm, compact mirror and manicure kit.

What a Girl Needs - The other way to approach a bridal shower is based on what a bride or the couple might need. Is she a young bride setting up a house for the first time? A kitchen or cooking theme might be perfect with favors to coordinate. When you mail out invitations, include a nice recipe card. Ask the guests to bring this to the shower, filled out with their favorite family recipe. If the couple is already living together, perhaps their yard needs attention. Have each guest bring a perennial plant or flower. The couple will enjoy these for years to come. Treat the guests to favors of flower tipped pens, love bug lady-bug magnets or a calla lily bookmark.

You can easily elaborate on whatever favor you choose by adding a saying that can work into a theme. For example:
Coffee: The Perfect Blend
Cooking: Recipe For Love
Garden: Love in Bloom

Be creative! Bridal shower favors are best when they are fun and functional - ones that your guest will use after the wedding to remind them of what a great party you put together!
