Poll: What were the favors at your wedding shower

Megan Briggs · March 2009

Looking for some good ideas.

ohwhattheheck · March 2009

I made CDs.

wendyj · March 2009

Little cookie cutters. I'm into baking, so my mom and bff thought it would be cute to hand them out. They were in all different shapes, so guests could take whichever one they liked.

took79 · March 2009

I can't remember!

ABMcKinney · March 2009

Candy bars with personalized wrappers. Not very unique, but I figured that you just can't go wrong with chocolate.

anna7602 · March 2009

I also made CDs.

IckyThump · March 2009

My bridesmaids made those fancy chocolate-dipped spoons you can put in coffee.

anna7602 · March 2009

oops, the above answer was our wedding favor. we didn't have a shower. sorry!

Amrice78 · March 2009

little bags of personalized m&m's (my favorite candy)

AmyLiz · March 2009

Homemade ornaments wrapped in Christmas packages (which were stacked up as the centerpieces). We had a Christmas-themed wedding, obviously.

mamamoos · March 2009

spider-man pez dispensers!

and we sprinkled the red, orange, and yellow mini pez refills around the centerpieces instead of confetti or flower petals. it was a huuuuuuuge hit!

ETA: woops, those were the favors at the actual wedding. the favors at my shower were frosted glass coaster sets that you could put pictures in....a little more traditional Wink

Silk Fans & CD's. I got all my supplies at this website.?

Jettaky · March 2009

Tea light candles and a nice candle holder

tlquist · March 2009

We also made CD's

akiernan · March 2009

I had 4" pots of African Violets for each place setting on the tables. Tossed in with some votive candles, they also served as my centerpieces.

EDIT: Duh, the above was for my wedding favors. I honestly have no idea what I had for shower favors. There were 75 people at my shower. I was lucky enough to remember my own name afterwards.

MegGary · March 2009

Candles from the $$ store. They came in their own cute little containers & I printed & hung thank you notes on them. PIB if you want to see them.

shower favor was a sachet of lavendar

Mrs.BLG · March 2009

Magnets with our name and date on them. I also gave out some of those mints that you can buy at AC Moore or Michaels...the ones that are already individually wrapped.

I wanted to do personalized notepads...but we didn't have enough $. I ended up making the magnets myself.

IckyThump · March 2009

lol. Either a lot of you were control freaks and planned your own shower or you misread the question.

It's wedding shower favors.

CometsMom · March 2009

5x7 glass picture frames. ?I also was supposed to have a photobooth where guest can take pictures and keep them, but they never showed up.

EDIT - for the SHOWER -duh. compact mirrors, little wedding cake candles, and bath salt.?

wcp · March 2009

Little jars of apple butter from a local apple orchard.

Doug'sFiance · March 2009

Jars of honey.

LiLnikkiMe · March 2009

i didn't have a wedding shower but dh's cousins' did. one made donation to the local food pantry and gave out wooden spoons with the donation card attached to it and the other gave out little pots of flowers, which i still have.

Jessibell · March 2009

For my shower the favors were heart shaped loose tea strainers.

MsKellDel · March 2009

martini and olive shaped cookies to go with the martini theme

MegGary · March 2009

lol yes yes you did. Well the shower favors where votive candles. with holders.

My friends shower was beach themed & we did sun visors, tote bags & flip flops all purchased at the dollar store.

Christmas shower for someone we did ornaments from the $$ store.

Can you tell I like the $$ store? lol

TamTam624 · March 2009

Candles

Erin Mary Ackerman · March 2009

Sob...I eloped, so no shower.

But I threw a wedding shower once at a brew pub, and the favor was a mini-keg of pumpkin ale..it was an autumn wedding.

Expensive, but awesome, If I do say so myself...

ammc · March 2009

we are huge coffee drinkers so my MOH put together a plain white coffee mug with a small bag of coffee in it that read our names and "the perfect blend". She also included a small heart shaped coffee scoop and tied it all together with clear wrap and a ribbon that matched my wedding theme colors. everyone loved it.

taylor20204 · March 2009

Cookies! It came out to be pretty pricey, but we used a 'high-end' baker. The cookies were hearts with pink icing and K & J with a little flower on them. They were wrapped in clear plastic with pink tulle.

taylor20204 · March 2009

Ooops, that was for our wedding...for my bridal shower, my MOH got rose scented Yankee Candles (the little sampler ones) and wrapped them herself in tulle with little flowers. I guess you can get them all fancied up through Yankee Candle, but my MOH found it was way cheaper to do it herself.
