Choosing your wedding shower favors
 Lauri Revilla
Wedding shower favors are nice mementos and gifts for friends and family in attendance. They are also a way of saying "thank you to those that have been supportive throughout your wedding planning. Deciding what favors to give to your guests in your party can be a difficult and stressful decision. There are many different factors that need to be taken into account when choosing these gifts.The first thing that you want to think about is your budget. Make sure you decide a certain number or range before you begin shopping so you don't find yourself getting carried away and overspending. Breaking your budget down to a per person cost will make it easier for you when you are shopping around. The next thing that you want to decide on is what kind of gift you want to give your guests. They can be decorative items, practical or daily use items, and even edibles. Once you have decided on this you want to start shopping around. Online stores are easy and practical to shop for favors since they are easier to navigate than in a store and allow you to order larger quantities. Some websites that have a wide assortment of wedding shower favors are: www.partycity.com, www.orientaltrading.com, and www.weddingfavorsunlimited.com. In the recent years, I have attended numerous wedding shower favors and have compiled a list of ideas by category.

Decorative - Framed picture of couple, glass figurine, porcelain plate
Edible Personal cake or tart, cookies, chocolate bar with personalized wrapper, box with assorted tea bags, cupcake, chocolate lollipop, cake pops
Personal use- Bracelet, earrings, jewelry box, pill box
