It's become an essential part of the wedding activities: Prior to any formal wedding, the maid of honor will customarily host a bridal shower party for the bride.
In some rare occasions, some other person besides the maid of honor will host the event...
perhaps a close friend or her mother.
Regardless of who hosts it, there are some other important people who will be attending the event besides the host and the bride herself.
We're talking, of course, about the guests.
A wedding shower cannot be truly successful if the bride's closest friends and family are not there.
Therefore, to make these guests feel that they're truly appreciated, proper etiquette demands that you provide them with memorable wedding shower party favors.
What kinds of bridal shower party favors should you have at the event? There are almost an infinite number of possibilities: candles, key rings,candy, flowers, picture frames,satin purses, and more.
Whatever you select, if possible, try to make them coordinate with the overall shower theme (and in many cases, the shower theme also ties in with the wedding theme).
Also, it's best if they suggest the wedding couple themselves so that the item becomes truly memorable.
Remember that the best wedding shower party favors are items the guests will want to keep, and in addition, items that will point them back to the wedding and people that the item commemorated.
How then are the wedding shower party favors given away? How do you decide who gets them and when? There are many ways of doing this.
Many shower hosts have a series of games and offer the favors as prizes during those games.
Other people want to make sure that every guest gets a favor, so they'll perhaps hand them out either as the guests are arriving or when they're about to leave.
Probably the most common approach is to make sure everyone gets something, but saving a couple of really nice bridal shower party favors as game prizes.
Next, let's discuss the price.
If you're spending more than a few dollars per person, you're probably over-spending.
The best sources for wedding shower party favors can offer you something fairly attractive for the ladies at no more than a couple of dollars apiece.
You'll be surprised at what you can get for your guests at that price, if you visit the right websites.
