So, one of my bridesmaids is also getting married, and I’m her maid of honor. She has asked me to help her come up with shower favors for her shower (I won’t be there & had no part in the planning, but apparently the woman who is throwing her shower did not think to plan for favors, so there is some last minute scrambling). I haven’t had a shower yet, nor have I been to more than 1 or 2 in my whole life. So I don’t even know where to start!!
If it matters, the shower will be held at a mediterranean restaurant and will feature a full meal. It’s a crystal & china shower.
Help, ladies – whare are some good shower favor ideas?!?

what kind of price range?
i’m not sure if there is going to be assigned seating, but people’s escort cards could be in nice small picture frames that serve as the favor (we got one with vintage flair that had beads and crystals–it looked nice, trust me). i was also at one wedding where the favors were decorative wine stoppers, which i totally appreciated because i love drinking (that sounded bad).
i’m not very creative with these things, i’m sure other people will have some wonderful ideas.
oh, if i were the guest, i’d always appreciate chocolate.

buy some little boxes or bags and fill them with candies. tie them off with ribbon. you don’t need to have anything too fancy for a shower. i’ve been to some that never had favors.

my mom ended up purchasing bath & body works pump soaps as my bridal shower favors. the girls are putting it in a clear plastic bag and tying with a cute ribbon & tagging it as well. they did blue and red soap because the colors are aqua and blue (don’t remember what scents that was, they just picked them for the colors lol). we went to a shower where they had these as favors and everyone really seemed to like them because b&bw soaps always smell fantastic and just look pretty
