If you are in charge of planning a bridal shower for a friend or family member, there are many things that you will need to do. One of the things that make some people a bit frustrated is purchasing the party favors to give out to the guests. Sure, the bride-to-be is the most important person in attendance and the one that will receive most of the gifts, but it is still nice to have something to give out and thank your guests for attending. The following ideas for bridal shower party favors can help you to pick out one or more items that will be sure to please your guests and send them home smiling.

*Candles-Scented jar candles are a great gift to give to your guests. Some people have allergies to certain scents, so it is also nice to have a couple of unscented ones on hand, just in case.

*Tins-Small tins can be filled with candy, teabags, or any other little things that you desire. You can find many very pretty ones for wonderful prices at your local "big box" stores.

*Manicure/Pedicure Sets-Most women enjoy sitting down for a relaxing home spa treatment with these manicure/pedicure sets.

*Soaps-Handmade soaps that are wrapped in attractive packaging can be found at many specialty stores and make lovely gifts.

*Bath Bubbles-The joy of a luxurious bubble bath can be experienced by your guests when they go home if you choose this party favor.

*Bud Vases-Pretty little bud vases make nice gifts, especially for spring and summer showers when the flowers are in bloom.

*Picture Frames-Picture frames are another nice gift for your guests. Be sure and take photos of each guest with the bride-to-be with your digital camera. You can download them and print them off before the guests leave so that they can have something to fill their frames with. If you can find heart-shaped frames, all the better!

*Memory Books-Miniature photo albums or journals are cute little favors to get.

*Keepsake Boxes-Pretty boxes that can be filled with special treasures are another wonderful item to give out at a bridal shower.

Bridal shower party gifts are very nice to have and will let your guests know that you appreciated their attendance. These gifts and many others are available online or in retail shops everywhere. Whatever you choose to get, have stickers made to personalize the gifts. These should include the bride-to-be's name and the date of the event, as well as the words "thank you".
