Whether you’re throwing a bridal shower for your daughter, sister, or good friend, there can be a lot of pressure. We’re here to help you make an Instagram-worthy affair great. The secret sauce: the best bridal shower party favors to gift your guests on their way out. The lasting impression will set the stage for the nuptials to come, so choose wisely.
Things to Consider
Before you decide on what bridal shower party favors to buy in bulk, consider these factors to help you narrow down your options:
- What does the bride like?
- What is the theme (if any) of the bridal shower?
- What is the bridal shower venue like and what will you be serving?
- What is the theme or “vibe” of the upcoming wedding?
- What is your budget for bridal shower party favors?
- How much lead time do you have until the day of the bridal shower?
Then, calculate how many you’ll need. Don’t forget to buy a couple of extras just in case you have guests that swipe more than one or the bride wants to keep a couple of extras as keepsakes.
Now, here are our favorite picks of bridal shower favors that are sure to wow.
Sugar Fix
