Throwing My First Bridal Shower: Gift Ideas?

[pckimboyers]

Hello everyone! I'm having my first bridal shower on the 29th, I want to do a great job and I've heard you should give more substantial gifts at these. Any suggestions or ideas?

I haven't done a bridal shower. As far as gifts go... don't price yourself out of your commission when giving gifts. I use item's like my Season's Best and door prize item's from my supply order form at my Cooking Shows. I love giving my hosts twix-it clips. I think twix-it clips with a Season's Best makes a nice gift. --- After the sales are in I sometimes give a higher priced gift
to my hostess.

Make white chocolate hearts with your Patriotic Heart Mold and give as
prizes. They look pretty and are reasonably cheap. Easy to wrap in
cling wrap and put a ribbon on.

Hand out recipe cards.

You can do just about anything. I give item's that aren't Pampered Chef to.
I keep little refrigerator grocery list pads out all the time to people who bring a guest. It's your business run it the way you want to.

Thanks for the advice! Good ideas-- I was thinking I really needed to go all out for this-- but I'll keep it simple, being new that's all I can do for now! Thanks!

I just had my first Shower in June. It was my best freinds so I was the Host and gave SBCB as party favors to all guests, the Bridal apron to her for everyone to sign, a Heart chocolate to the bride from the heart mold and bought stuff off her wishlist as her wedding gift and pre-bought the large stone gift set as my shower gift to her. It's really up to you what you want to give to the host? Besides the Apron, I've heard of some giving them the Tool turn about dressed in wedding ribbon to look like a cake. Which I also had on display but is for decoration only and will be used at other showers!

I bring some desserts for the shower and a hot dip like I would for any show--they love the apron to sign--but I let the person in charge of throwing the shower handle everything else--I still give a door prize of SB cookbook---but I make the show a low key part of it --they are all going to order anyway--and u usually always get bookings!!

I usually get the bride apron for the bride and for the host, I gave something value no more than $10.00 for the gift.

Thanks guys..... I love the input! What great ideas.... I know that I need to keep it low key, I have the apron and the tool turn about, so maybe my normal goodie basket stuff will be good enough for the guests doorprize and favors.

 

[Chef susan]

Yes --Your normal stuff would be good enough--anything else the girls that are actually throwing the shower can handle--
