Right now the shower I'm hosting has 13 confirmed guests, 4 maybe and 9 not responded (::shakes fist::). Many of the cute little items I'm looking to order come in groups of 12.
Thinking back to other showers, it seems like there are always a lot of favors left over. Of course, I'm being all optomistic and thinking that since my favors will be like the best eva, none will be left behind =P But anyway, what has your experience been about your favor to guest ratio?
Re: Shower Favor Question
I haven't been to many showers with favors. Most of the favors that I have received have been edible (cookies, pralines, small jars of jam, etc), so it was no big deal if there were any extra.
I don't know what you are looking at for favors, but is it anything that could be added to a Christmas or birthday present if you have extras? (Obviously for family/friends that have nothing to do with this shower so they would not know you were repurposing the favors.)
If they are suitable for regifting, then I wouldn't worry at all about extras.
