I’ve attended many wedding showers, and it’s always interesting to see the types of wedding shower favors either purchased or made by the hosts of the party. When considering all of the wedding shower favors I’ve been given, my favorites are the unique homemade favors I’ve received. Some of the very best favors for any occasion are homemade, and if you’re in charge of a wedding shower, consider the following homemade favors for your special occasion. Guests are sure to love these unique homemade wedding shower favors!
Unique Soap Holders
Fragrant soap is an excellent choice for a wedding shower favor, and fragrant soap is even more decorative and impressive when tucked away in a unique and useable package. Buy or make soap of your choice, either decorative glycerin soap or full-size bars of scented soap, and wrap each bar in a package made with 2 inexpensive washcloths and tied at the top with a small satin ribbon.
For each homemade wedding shower favor you’ll need one bar of soap of your choice, two thin washcloths of different colors, and color-coordinated satin ribbon to secure the top. Consider choosing washcloths that match the colors chosen for the bridal party and other decorations. These colors will become a theme for the party, and the wedding shower favors will be a tangible reminder of the celebration.
Make this unique wedding shower soap holder by laying the first washcloth on a flat surface, and fold in both sides so the edges meet in the center. Place a bar of soap in the center of the washcloth, and bright up both ends around the soap. Roll up the second washcloth. Center it around the front of the first washcloth, and gather them both at the top. Secure the top of this unique soap holder with a narrow satin ribbon to complete this unique and highly useful homemade favor.
Personalized Cookie Cutter Favors
Heart-shaped cookie cutters complete with a ribbon and a small card announcing the upcoming ceremony are fantastic party favors for wedding shower guests, and best of all they’re inexpensive. Shop online or visit your local craft supply store for heart-shaped metal cookie cutters, and buy enough ribbon to tie on homemade messages printed on cardstock. Choose ribbon colors that match the theme of the celebration, and if you want to make them even more decorative and unique, tie a couple of iridescent beads to the ends of the bows. They’ll look lovely at each place setting, and they’ll become useful reminders of a wonderful celebration.
Printable Wrappers, Tea Bag Envelopes, and More
Personalized candy wrappers are unique wedding shower favors, but they’re quite expensive when purchased from print shops and candy manufacturers. Personalized tea bags are also nice, but they’re also very expensive compared to homemade favors. If you want personalized candy wrappers or tea bags for your celebration, you can print them at home and save a considerable amount of money.
Visit Alenka’s Printables for many useful and unique printable items that can be used for homemade wedding shower favors. You’ll find printable candy wrappers, tea bag envelopes, coffee envelopes, seed packets, and much, much more. I was amazed by the amount of high-quality printable items offered at this site, and many could be used for homemade wedding shower favors that will help make your special party one to remember.
