| WSG Webmaster -- Tuesday, December 31 2002, 01:43 am Favors for an engagement party? How about "Save the Date"
magnets placed in a large bowl by the front entry? Or tiny
bags of candies with your wedding date on a label to remind
your guests.
Lorraine -- Thursday, August 7 2003, 10:37 pm LAME!!
Kristen -- Tuesday, August 26 2003, 06:44 pm My shower is in January '04 and I live in Chicago. To bring
a little sunshine to the party, we are throwing a
Hawaiian-themed shower (plus the fact that we're getting
married in Maui...it goes along with the whole theme of
things).
Anyway, to save on costs, I'm making beach-themed candles.
I bought the gel wax and little seashells at a craft store
and the glass holders at Walmart. They're very cute and
cost effective!
Lizzy Fay -- Friday, September 12 2003, 11:44 pm My wedding is on Nov. 1st the day of the dead and the day
before is holloween. Im really not that girly having all
those flowers ideas. You should try having more not so
girly ideas. example: having a wine party with their own
glass and charm, or a raxing shower like making your own
candle. and that way every one is happy.
MSB -- Thursday, October 23 2003, 05:31 pm I think that the save the date magnets are a bad idea.
The shower isn't supposed to be that far in advance that
they will have to save the date. Most people attending a
shower will attend the wedding as well. I think it will
just look really cheap, as if you are handing out the left
over save the date magnets purchased to send out to everyone
well in advance for the wedding. Sorry!
-- Friday, December 12 2003, 01:58 pm DONATE MONEY TO A CHARITY INSTEAD OF FAVORS...USE A CHARITY
THAT REALLY MEANS SOMETHING TO THE FAMILY AND CREATE A WAY
TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT A DONATION HAS BEEN MADE IN LIEU OF
FAVORS....NO ONE NEEDS OR USES HALF THE FAVORS THAT ARE
GIVEN OUT ANYWAY.
JENNIFER -- Saturday, January 10 2004, 01:14 am I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE IDEA ON DONATING TO A CHARITY VESUS
THE USE OF WEDDING FAVORS, MY FIANCE MICHAEL AND I ARE
DONATING TO A CHARITY TO HOPEFULLY HELP SOME ELSES DREAMS TO
COME TRUE. GOOD IDEA!!!!
Tiffany -- Wednesday, January 14 2004, 10:30 am My mom's friend had the cutest idea for an all girl shower.
Each woman will receive a bottle of nail polish and an emery
board at their place setting. The center pieces will be "spa
bags" filled with beauty items to pamper the winner of the
center piece...things like shower gel, a loofah sponge, a
pumice stone, lotion, etc. Since I am an independent AVON
representative I am able to do this for very little cost.
Dessie -- Sunday, January 18 2004, 05:10 pm My sister-in-law's shower has a theme of the old kid rhyme
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Sally -- Tuesday, March 2 2004, 06:40 pm A few stores in Kansas City carry the cutest things ever!
They are custom can coozies. I just found the web site for
them and wanted to pass it along!
Great as a favor or as a prize! www.foofoozie.com
Joanna -- Sunday, March 14 2004, 05:41 pm For my kitchen tea - i bought in bulk garlic/ginger graters
- which are minature graters - tied a ribbon and thank you
note around them and gave each of my guests one of these - i
thought this suited the kitchen tea theme and also was a
useful gift that every kitchen needs ; )
Elizabeth Kidder -- Monday, March 29 2004, 09:52 pm I would be interested to know if you would sell wholesale.
L.... -- Monday, April 12 2004, 05:58 pm Some of these ideas are a little out there or for younger
girls getting married. How about for us mature women
getting married, I love the idea of making a donation to a
charity for a favor gift. I am going to discuss it with my
fiance
Jodie -- Wednesday, May 5 2004, 01:31 pm We are throwing a surprise shower for a girl at work and I
am having heart sugar cookies made iced and then they are
placing the name of the bride and groom and the date they
are going to married on each cookie. We are then placing
them in clear bags with ribbon tied around top.
christina -- Friday, May 7 2004, 12:48 pm There is a shower I'm attending for my friend. I think I
will stick with the things that will pamper the Bride before
her Big Day. Things from either Victoria's Secret or Bath
and Beyond.
Erin -- Tuesday, June 1 2004, 07:21 pm I am throwing a shower for my niece and I purchased several
different gifts for the ladies to choose what they like.
The gifts range from spa kits to bottles of wine. Everyone
will walk away with a favor they choose. Enjoy!!!
Marilyn -- Sunday, June 27 2004, 01:11 am I just had my shower and it was a lot of fun. My mother
threw it for me and everyone had to wear "Something Blue..."
since it's my favorite color. Having a color-themed shower
also looks GREAT in pictures. My mom gave out blue candles
in glass hive-looking holders for favors. They made a giant
collage of pictures of me with each of my female family and
friends who attended the shower. We couldn't play many games
because of all the gifts that had to be opened, but we did
play Bridal Bingo where lavender, gardenia and jasmine
sachets were the prizes. Centerpieces were blue glass
hanging tea-light holders which people won by sitting in a
chair that had a tiny blue gift bow underneath it at each
table. My bridesmaids each gave me a gift to represent a
line in the "Something Old, Something New..." poem which was
very sentimental. I had a blast!
Cati -- Monday, June 28 2004, 03:30 pm My cousing is hosting an August wedding shower where the
guests will be going rafting. Nice change of pace from the
boring games.
Beth B. -- Wednesday, June 30 2004, 02:17 am For my bridal shower i'm gonna have a fun filled day w/ the
girls like at Six Flags...great fun for us younger
brides...in the late afternoon we'll have a spa treatment
kinda thing and then....IT'S LADIES NIGHT....(and i don't
mean pickin up dudes) just us all dancin and havin a great
time together. So we look and feel great all day...
Gina -- Thursday, July 1 2004, 10:33 pm We're throwing a Luau theme shower so we can incorporate all
those colorful "umbrellas" in decorating tropical drinks!!
We're giving out mini-bottles of rum decorated with stirrers
and notes of thanks from the bride & groom.
Christine -- Thursday, July 8 2004, 08:29 pm Any ideas, on how you can make it look nice on the table for
the charity in lieu of favors...and wording?
Willow -- Monday, July 12 2004, 03:43 am And here I thought I was being original when I picked out
the "Upscale Luau" theme for my friends Bride and Groom
Wedding Shower. I shopped for little trinkets through
Orientaltradingcompany.com, we are going to decorate with
classic luau decor and we are serving Hawaiian food! Aloha!
The co-theme is also 'Naughty and Nice' and guests are
being encouraged to bring something naughty for the bride
and groom if they want to see them blush, otherwise, bring
something nice. Oriental Trading Company sells a treasure
chest which I am going to fill with Lingerie and other stuff
for their wedding night, and this will be opened by the
groom!
debbie -- Sunday, July 25 2004, 12:39 pm CAN ANYONE TELL ME A IDEA THAT I CAN USE FOR A CENTERPIECE
FOR A CHILDRENS TABLE AT THE WEDDING. I THOUGHT OF THE
LITTLE BRIDE AND GROOM BEARS AND ALSO BALLOONS BUT, I KNOW
CHILDREN WILL CRY AND FUSS OVER THIS ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS
THAT ANYONE MAY HAVE.
THANKS
Frieta -- Friday, July 30 2004, 12:42 pm Don't worrie about it. Kids will not know - or care if
there is a center piece or not. Save the money and time.
There is plenty other stuff that us brides can stress about.
Beth B. -- Saturday, July 31 2004, 01:57 am debbie-
Well u can use the balloon idea and have a big bundle of
them in the center or u could tie a few to the backs of
their chairs so they wouldn't take any from the
center...then the kids could each take some and u would
still have centerpieces. Also put some "Busy" items on the
table as well ....anything to keep them busy basically.
Like maybe mini bubbles... wedding pics for them to color
on..flashing light key chains ...i dont know how little the
children are but u get the idea..that way they wont grab for
other things.
Hope some of this is useful ENJOY...
Breanne -- Monday, August 16 2004, 09:14 pm Hey everyone my wedding is in Feb. does anybody have any
ideas for party favors that i could use? I cant think of
good ones?
Amber -- Wednesday, August 18 2004, 11:52 am My best friend is getting married in October and she is
having a Cinderella themed Wedding. I want to throw her a
bridal shower with a good theme that goes in hand with
Cinderella. One of the bridesmaids who is another close
friend is helping me. She suggested a "Princess" theme
where we can give out cute little tiara's and "wands" to the
guests and ask them to bring gifts fit for a princess. We
are thinking maybe spa type stuff. Does any of this sound
like a good idea?? I'm really stuck on this. I got married
over a year ago and I never had a bridal shower so I don't
know what all to do...and I'm the only one married among my
friends.

Thank you!
Sharon -- Friday, September 3 2004, 04:36 pm Ireally loved the idea of nail polish and nail care
products! Thank you.
jenn -- Sunday, September 12 2004, 08:57 pm I was just at a wedding that as the chidern entered (and if
they missed it was left by the sign in book) was a basket
filled with coloring books and the same person that was at
the guest book handed out 5 crayons to each child. the
books were purchased at the local dollar store and the
crayons where in the big boxes.
jen -- Sunday, September 12 2004, 09:02 pm im currently planning a shower for my cousins april wedding.
the weddin theme is "Irish" so we are having a "st
patricks/Irish" themed shower. In the invites im sending
out reciepe cards with shamrocks on them to be filled with a
fav reciped for the bride. we are askin guests to come
'decked' out in "luckof the Irish green" then during the
wedding we will have each guest say somthing into a video,
write a wish for the bride on a slip of paper then release
the wish in a balloon after she has read it. the thank you
cards will include a pic of the bride and guest printed on a
magnet. Hope some of these ideas help
LISA -- Monday, September 13 2004, 01:50 am I AM THROWING A BRIDAL SHOWER AND I WAS STUCK ON A CHEAP
FAVOR FOR THE GUEST, BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU DO SOMETHING THAT
IS ONLY 1-2.00$ ITS STILL PRICEY FOR MORE THAN 20 GUEST. SO
I DECIDED THAT I WOULD BUY LITTLE CANDY MOLDES AND THE
CHOCLATES THAT ARE ALREADY COLORED AND MOLD LITTLE PIECES OF
CHOCOLATES (WEDDING BELLS, CAKE, BRIDE DRESS) WRAP IN
PLASTIC OR IN THOSE CUTE CHINEESE TAKE OUT BOXES.
ADORABLE!!!!
Laura -- Saturday, September 25 2004, 04:34 pm Love the nailpolish idea along with the spa products for the
winner of the centerpiece.
Mary -- Tuesday, October 12 2004, 04:59 pm My daughter's shower is November 7th. Hobby Lobby just put
their Christmas ornaments on half- price. They should make
great favors.
Tuula -- Tuesday, October 19 2004, 03:22 pm I need a VERY original gift for my sister...something

julie -- Friday, October 29 2004, 02:56 pm great for a kids table centerpiece - a big gold fish bowl.
the kids will love it!!

Kimberly -- Monday, November 8 2004, 07:31 pm I am also doing a Hawaiian Theme as my sister is getting
married there. For favors, my (other) sister and I picked
out an assortment of brightly colored gifts from the xmas
tree shop. They include brightly striped small picture
albums in tulle bags; martini glasses with blownglass fish
as part of the stems; and mugs in cute boxes with matching
coasters. I am trying to think of something for the men
though...mixed cds of "island-type" music, wine, chocolates,
nips of tequila or rum?
Kimberly -- Monday, November 8 2004, 07:32 pm Oh as there are gonna be kids at the shower (very
untraditional) we are also doing small tin pails full of
cookies and small toys for the kids.
Darlene -- Wednesday, November 10 2004, 01:56 pm I am hosting a bridal shower for a friend whose wedding
theme is "A Winter Wonderland". Any ideas on favors for the
guests?
Darlene -- Wednesday, November 10 2004, 01:58 pm I am hosting a bridal shower for a friend whose wedding
theme is "A Winter Wonderland". Any ideas on favors for the
guests?
Crystal -- Thursday, December 2 2004, 11:21 am For the Winter Wonderland - how about cute snowflake coffee
cups filled with hot chocolate packets? you could
personalize plain coffee cups with a nice pen to write the
bride and groom's name and date of the wedding. wrap in
cellophane, tie with a bow, and you're done.
Or you could buy/make Christmas ornaments and personalize
them. Or even get cute gloves or scarves for everyone.
Angell -- Wednesday, December 29 2004, 02:48 pm My cousin is getting married in Sept and I'm throwing her
shower in June. I need advice on very inexpensive favors
because there will be a lot of guests! I love the nail
polish idea but wonder if I could do that for under $1.00
per person.
Jen -- Tuesday, January 4 2005, 09:26 pm A cute, cheap favor idea- Buy tuling and ribbon in the
off-setting wedding colors. Use 1/2 cup M&M's or small
candies and make little candy sacks. You may choose to
attach a word-processed note like "Sweet of you to come
today.
Sarah's wedding shower
February 14, 2005"
CUTE & CHEAP
Marie -- Thursday, January 6 2005, 09:43 pm I went to a baby shower once where the hostess made
necklaces for everyone that were on blue ribbon and had a
pacifier made from a jellybean and lifesaver. They were so
cute! Everytime someone said Baby, they got the person's
necklace. I would like an equivilent for the bridal shower
I am throwing in 2 weeks. Any ideas????
mary -- Saturday, January 8 2005, 07:49 pm Does anyone have an idea for a wedding shower with blue and
brown? I'm thinking of a "chocolate" shower. Ideas for
menus and favors and centerpieces would be appreciated!
Nicole Campbell -- Sunday, January 9 2005, 06:54 pm Does anyone have any ideas about shower gifts ya know like
prizes that you can get for really good prises and i'm a
dollor store girl so it would be great if i could get some
ideas for those types thanks everyone :)
Christine -- Monday, January 10 2005, 06:45 pm Another cheap favor idea. Put hershey kisses in the bowl
part of a wooden spoon, cover the bowl part in tuling and
tie with ribbon. Then attach this note "A room full of love,
a spoon full of kisses, soon [groom] and [bride] will be Mr.
& Mrs." Then arrange them all in a pretty basket or water
pitcher which would be another gift for the bride.
clem -- Tuesday, January 11 2005, 11:30 pm gina

Jess -- Monday, January 24 2005, 12:48 am for my bridal shower my mom ordered a longaberger recipe box
and is enclosing a recipe card with each invitation to be
filled out and brought to the shower. that way i can have a
collection of everyone's favorite recipes for myself! :)

CAREY -- Wednesday, February 23 2005, 08:14 pm TO SHERRIE, A GOOD IDEA WOULD BE SMALL GLASSES FILLED WITH
THAT JELLY CANDLE STUFF AND STICK A MINI UMBRELLA IN....TIE
A RIBBON IN THE COLOR WITH THE THANK YOU TAG.THEY EVEN SELL
LARGER GLASSES TO DO THE SAME FOR THE CENTERPIECES THROW THE
LAYESAROUND THE BOTTEM.

Michelle -- Sunday, February 27 2005, 11:43 pm AS FAR AS WEDDING FAVORS GO, DONATING TO A CHARITY OR
CHARITIES HAS BEEN A GREAT CHOICE FOR MY FIANCE AND I. MY
FIANCE'S MOTHER PASSED AWAY WHEN HE WAS 11 WITH A BRAIN
TUMOR, WE CONTACTED THE ORGANIZATION THAT HELPED HER AT THAT
TIME AND DONATED MONEY AND THEY SENT US A CERTIFICATE THAT
WE COULD DISPLAY AT OUR RECEPTION WHICH WE WILL BE DOING
THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2005 ALONG WITH HER PICTURE. WE ALSO
DONATED MONEY TO THE ALL VETERAN'S MEMORIAL WHICH IS WHERE
WE ARE GETTING MARRIED ON EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, FORT WALTON
BEACH FLORIDA, IN HONOR OF MY GRANDFATHER AND ALSO RECEIVED
A CERTIFICATE WHICH WE CAN DISPLAY AT OUR RECEPTION. THIS
HAS MADE OUR WEDDING A MORE MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. WEDDING
FAVORS WILL BE DISCARDED BUT THESE MEMORIES WILL ALWAYS BE
IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS!! SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. GOOD
LUCK TO ALL

Kathryn -- Wednesday, March 2 2005, 12:02 pm We based my sister's bridal shower around red roses, the
same thing she's using for the wedding. We bought packages
of 3 spoons for $1.50, coming to $0.50 a spoon. Then we
bought red wrapped hershey's hugs and kisses, on clearance
from valentines, then placed 2 kisses and one hug on the
spoon part, covered it with red tulle and tied it with green
ribbon. Then we placed them all in a vase with 3 fully open
red silk roses and one red rose bud and between all the red
tulle, green ribbon, and a few realistic silk roses it
served as both a great holder and decoration.
annabelle -- Wednesday, March 2 2005, 09:39 pm This was for the wedding favors, for the shower favors, but
it was a good idea: At my friend's wedding this past summer
they decided to donate to a cancer research charity in lieu
of wedding favors. Her mom and his dad had both passed away
from cancer in the past two years. At the reception, they
had a table with the pictures of their parents and in front
of that, a bowl with the yellow bracelets from the Lance
Armstrong foundation. There was a note up asking guests to
each take a bracelet and put them on and wear them today in
honor of their parents. It was a beautiful display and a
very classy gesture that might inspire ideas for anyone
looking for a way to honor a loved one on this special day.
And almost everyone I know is still wearing their "favor"
today!

Radhika -- Tuesday, April 19 2005, 03:20 pm I enjoyed reading everybody's ideas today. My daughter is
having a bridal shower thrown in her honour by her future
sister-in-law and I have been invited. I have no idea what
to buy for her.
The theme for her wedding is red and gold.
Kori -- Saturday, April 23 2005, 11:15 pm Radhika-
Honestly if it is your daughter that is getting married, I
would get her something personal maybe something that can be
engraved or personalized somehow. I think that is the best
gift a mother could give. Maybe if she doesnt have her
jewelry for her wedding maybe buy her some nice real
jewelery but not to spendy or something, I dont know but
those are a couple ideas I would love to get from my mom.
Elizabeth -- Sunday, May 1 2005, 12:04 pm I am hosting a bridal shower for a very close friend of
mine, since I am the maid of honor. Either in late June or
July. I found an inexpensive gift. Hope some people enjoy
this idea. Place 2-3
life saver mints in a little bag/envelope. On the
bag/envelope write w/ a marker or pen the following:
Mint to Be
______________'s Bridal Shower
Name of Bride
______________________________
Date of Event
Guest can enjoy the mint after eating or save for later.
grace -- Wednesday, May 11 2005, 11:01 am An idea for the shower to help out the bride is to get all
the guests to fill out their name and address on an envelope
when they first come in. This way you have everyone's name
for a prize draw at the party AND you have the "thank-you"
envelopes already addressed for the bride.
I'm also looking for a personalized, unique gift idea for my
sister. She's getting married in July and I'm the maid of
honour...
Jenn -- Thursday, May 19 2005, 10:42 pm I am the maid of honor of my best friend's wedding, and she
planned a fairy tale wedding. Do you think that the shower
could also go along with the theme of the wedding? If yes,
what type of favors could u give, that would be different
than the ordinary but very special. The bridesmaid and me
are trying to make this extra specail n we are in a jam.
mauiwahine213 -- Sunday, May 22 2005, 05:53 pm To Sherrie: I just wanted to correct the spelling of layes?
It is actually spelled leis. You can actually find alot of
Luau products for cheap on orientaltrading.com Just a few
idea's for the greeter who hands out the leis;
1. Greet everyone by saying "Aloha" (Greetings, Welcome)
2. You may also end with Mahalo (Thank You)
I live in Hawaii on an island called Maui.
Good Luck on planning your bridal shower!

Erica -- Saturday, June 4 2005, 03:35 am Nikki-- We decided to go camping. We're going to give the
bride and groom a scavenger hunt with the ultimate
destination being their tent full of naughty and nice gifts.
Other than that, it's kind of a nice way to just relax,
reminise, and enjoy each other before the new couple finds
out about marriage. :)
Kryssi -- Wednesday, June 8 2005, 12:11 am I really appreciate all of the suggestions that you all have
shared. You see I have been so stressed out because none of
my friend's bridal party has attempted to throw a bridal
shower for my friend and the wedding is July 9! So the
brave person that I am, I decided I would throw a bridal
shower for my friend. It is in 3 more days. I didn't make
it a themed shower because I don't want people to feel
obligated to have to buy a particular present and plus I
don't have a lot of money to spend (I just racked up a
$52,000 hoepital stay in May). One way to save money on the
bridal shower I am making Orange Cream Pies. My friend
doesn't like cake and the ingredients for the pie are
inexpensive, I did ask the Matron of Honor to purchase
beverages. Another way to save money on showers is to ask
different organizations if they loan their building (for
instance I live on a golf course and I asked the manager if
I could rent out the clubhouse for the bridal shower and she
said I could for only $25) the soon to be bride's father
got permission for us to use the Veteran's Hall but there is
alot of cigarette smoke in there, there is another place in
town the local Grainge and they rent out their buildings for
way cheap, even your local parks and community services is a
good place to try. Anyways I think it is great that we can
all share ideas with each other to help keep our pocket
books a little more safe. Remember that the purpose of a
bridal shower is to have fun and create a memory that the
soon to be bride will cherish. Oh one more idea that I have
used for the shower is that I purchase a cute journal from
the dollar store and I am going to ask the gals to pass it
around and write some practical tips or advice about keeping
the marriage strong, being that my friend's mother isn't
going to be there or be at the wedding due to health
concerns she can't travel the long distance.

and romantic destinations in the world to ensure that when
you take your vows, you know that your wedding day is the

Diana -- Wednesday, June 15 2005, 08:08 am Hello,
My best friends fiancee asked me to throw her a shower
for all the Ontario, Canada guests who cannot attend the
wedding in Moncton, NB, Canada. I am not her maid of honour.
I have 1 week to pull it all together! I decided to have
small potted plants as the party favours and I will be
playing some of those silly games. Anyone have any cute
ideas of what I can give out as prizes for the wedding
shower game gifts??
Thanks
Diana
Jules -- Wednesday, June 15 2005, 02:00 pm Coming up with ideas for party favors is no easy taks. But
here are a few I have used in the past:
Coffee Scoop with some chocolate coverd coffee beans
wrapped in cellophane and a tag that read: Kim and Mark the
Perfect Blend
I also gave homemade chocolate fudge ice cream topping
(in a decorative jar) with and ice cream scooper.the label
on the jar read:
Jasper and Diane and their wedding date

If you are considering video for your Wedding Day, let us
be there to capture your day as it unfolds with your family
and friends.
Professional videography saves and protects life's most
precious and beautiful moments - as they actually happened.
And what is more important, to hold precious than the sights
and sounds from the most important day of your life - your
wedding day! Because the event goes by so quickly, capturing
all the activities, your ceremony and reception, on video
will mean your wedding will be preserved for you and your
family now, and most importantly... for all the generations
ahead.
