I have made mini bridal bouquets to give as favors.
I give the bride a bigger bouquet made with our skinny scraper, egg separator, bamboo spatula, mini whipper, medium scoop and measuring spoons I used to do the nylon whisk when it was available individually.
I bundle a citrus peeler, QK knife, 1 small bamboo spooner, largest twixit, the small spreader & bamboo tongs. Tie it together with ribbons & tulle in the bride's colors and add a couple of small silk flowers.

I did a shower for a family friend. I got sets of the bamboo spoons. I took one spoon for each guest. In the bowl of the spoon I placed a couple of Hershey Kisses. I then covered the bowl of the spoon with netting and tied it with a thin ribbon in one of the wedding colors. It was inexpensive but looked nice. Everyone loved it.
Well, everyone except the 10-year-old daughter of the host. As we were setting up, her mom said, "Look, she gave each of us a paddle."
I said, "Yes, and since they're bamboo, they don't break very easily. You can spank really hard with those."
Her mom laughed, but she was not amused.

Recipe card favorsI typed out the recipes we did at the show on nice card stock and made them kind of a keepsake. I did them in the colors of the show and put the recipe name and "made at x x's bridal shower on Sept x, xxxx" Then, of course, I put my info on the bottom. The guests loved them!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some popular favor ideas for guests at a bridal shower?
Popular favor ideas for bridal shower guests include personalized candles, mini succulents, custom cookies, bath bombs, and small jars of honey or jam. These items can be easily customized to match the wedding theme and provide a memorable keepsake for guests.
How can I personalize favors for a bridal shower?
You can personalize favors by adding the bride and groom's names, the wedding date, or a special message on tags or labels. Consider using custom packaging or choosing items that reflect the couple's interests or relationship to make the favors more meaningful.
Should favors be practical or decorative?
Favors can be both practical and decorative. It ultimately depends on the theme of the bridal shower and the preferences of the couple. Practical favors, like kitchen gadgets or coasters, can be useful, while decorative items, like photo frames or candles, can serve as beautiful mementos.
How many favors should I provide at a bridal shower?
It's generally a good idea to provide one favor per guest. If you expect 20 guests, plan for 20 favors. It's also wise to have a few extra on hand in case of unexpected attendees or last-minute changes.
When should I distribute the favors at the bridal shower?
Favors can be distributed at the end of the bridal shower as guests are leaving, or they can be placed at each seat for guests to take home during the event. Choose a method that fits the flow of your shower and ensures that guests remember to take their favors with them.
