that's a lil tough because they are all so cute...
my top two are the candle and the soap...
okay I decided... the candle!!
I vote for edible favours, always. I wouldn't want anything emblazoned with another woman's shower date or another couple's wedding date. The only favours I've ever taken home from a shower or wedding was food; otherwise it was left on the table.
Since its a church one and 200! .. I know the ladies at my old church would seriously love cookies or anything edible! they demolish them like no tomorrow! go edible! and how nice of you to give them favors. Is it a custom or tradition?
Favors are never required for any occasion. But edibles are always best if you decide to have them. In that case, I would go with the cookies since nearly everyone loves those.
the candle :).
then soap as my 2nd choice.
Those are pretty reusable, 2 coasters is kinda an odd number (thou they are cute). Generally cookies & candies, you don't know if people are allergic to something or can't have sugar, etc.
Ok then I re-read your post... I thought these were options for a wedding favor (yes, even thou you underlined bridal shower). I've never heard of bridal shower favors. Cute idea, but I wouldn't ever expect a favor at a bridal shower. If you don't have the money, I wouldn't get favors. I mean, if you WANT to, then by all means do that. That's about $400 to go to your shower! I don't know that you're expected to give them anything. But if you want to, then go for it :).
@Ciarrai: I'm not personalizing anything! I hate those kinds of favors too :) lol
It's tradition for the brides in my church to bring favors for the shower guests... especially since they aren't invited to the wedding. It's a small thank you for all their prayers, love & support! I'm totally happy to do it... I just want it to be something people will actually USE or take with them!
I once got a silver clock at one of these showers! I cringe at the thought of how much those cost.
I chose the cookie because that's the one I would most likely pick up and take home with me.
Normally, I vote for anything edible. But if it's a group of women from church, I say go for something cute and girly, like the soap!
I've said it before and I'll say it again.... cookies are a crowd pleaser :)
Scrolling through, I was like "COOKIE - YUUUMM!" so I picked that one! The others are pretty though - but you can't really go wrong with something yummy!
Your coasters would be the best deal if you separated them! I have glass coasters for my wedding favors and we are taking them out of their containers and placing one at each place setting.
I should have known the cookies would win! And it's the cheapest too... Score!
My FI and I decided a looong time ago that our wedding favors must be edible, no trinkets or junk! I just thought because all the guests were women I could get away with something girlie for the bridal shower!!
If you haven't decided on the cookies for favors, my cousin made some very cute shower favors for my shower. She melted styrofoam cups upside down on cookie sheets. They came out looking like little bonnets and then she used tulle circles and ribbon to hold in little candies underneath. Probably less work than making cookies for 200 women. I think you would have to watch the styrofoam carefully, and I would suggest having the windows open-IDK-it might be toxic to melt the styrofoam cups???
Truth is anything that isnt edible either sits and collects dust or gets thrown out. I picked cookies all the way. Even our wedding favors are edible lol.
1st choice is obviously the cookie, as long as it tastes good. 2nd would be the soap and 3rd the candle. You're right about the 2 coaster thing, and the mints look kinda chintzy, but since it's a shower, not a wedding, they could work. For favors, I'm all about edible, followed by practical. No one wants some cheap tchotchke. Maybe you could do the cookie for the shower and maybe the soap or candle for the wedding? (I'm confused -is this even your wedding?)
i like the candle - since its church folks and often the older church ladies have restrictive diets and SHOULDNT eat cookies, even if they are super tasty.... i vote for something cute that they can use like a candle and they are adorable.
Soap or cookies - because both are usuable but won't be another thing to sit around the house (coasters & candle may not match someones home and might just end up in the trash).
I picked the candle but I love the cookie too. I think the soap is pretty but personally, bar soap actually grosses me out. I can see sweet little old women liking it though :-)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I need 200 favors for a open church bridal shower. The female members from my congregation & surrounding congregations all come together, even though they aren't invited to the actual wedding... Because I need so many, all of the non-edible favors work out to roughly the same price. The cheapest options are obviously the food ones.
I've seen some pretty expensive favors at some of these showers, but I'm not planning on spending more than $1.50- $2.00 per person :)
Please pick the favor that you'd want to take home!
1. Soap
2. Candle (it comes with the bow & tag too!)
3. Coasters (2)... but really, who needs only 2 coasters? I just know that this will fit the theme of the party. Pretty, pink & Spring!
4. Cookies w/ a pretty pink bow
5. Tins filled with mints for "church candies". Every little old lady in the church has a stash of candies they give out... so its practical.
