If you are about to throw a bridal shower, and you want to let all the guests know how much you appreciate their contribution to the festivities, consider bridal shower favors that are personalized, handmade, or special in some way. Most people who attend bridal showers come bearing not only gifts but wine or beverages or snacks to share. It is only right to send them home with something with which to remember the night.

Some popular items for bridal shower favors are personalized photo frames or photo albums, small personalized gift boxes containing potpourri, bath salts, or chocolates, or small items like bottles of bubbles with the happy couple's name and wedding date on them. If you wish to make something special, consider writing a poem or finding one online and printing out copies on pretty paper to slip inside a personalized frame. The wedding date and name of the couple can be added to the printed poem as well to make it more personal.

Bridal shower favors never have to break the bank, and often they can do double duty. By placing personalized photo albums or frames at each place on the table, you can use these as place cards to help guests find their seats. Anytime you can combine a party favor with a functional item, you save money and do things with a unique flair that is likely to make your bridal shower and bridal shower favors remembered for years to come.
