Favors for Guests at Bridal Shower?

[jenpottratz]

I am doing a PC Bridal Shower for my step-sister. So because I am the host, I always do favors for the guests. I'm trying to think of a cute idea for a favor using some of the PC door prizes or something like that. Any ideas??

I had a family buy a Mini Serving Spatula for every guest.

I have made mini bridal bouquets to give as favors.
I give the bride a bigger bouquet made with our skinny scraper, egg separator, bamboo spatula, mini whipper, medium scoop and measuring spoons I used to do the nylon whisk when it was available individually.

I bundle a citrus peeler, QK knife, 1 small bamboo spooner, largest twixit, the small spreader & bamboo tongs. Tie it together with ribbons & tulle in the bride's colors and add a couple of small silk flowers.

How about a mini-whisk with a note attached : "Whisking Mary and Joe a lifetime of joy." I tried to think of a cooking reference for joy but am drawing a blank right now.

I did a shower for a family friend. I got sets of the bamboo spoons. I took one spoon for each guest. In the bowl of the spoon I placed a couple of Hershey Kisses. I then covered the bowl of the spoon with netting and tied it with a thin ribbon in one of the wedding colors. It was inexpensive but looked nice. Everyone loved it.

Well, everyone except the 10-year-old daughter of the host. As we were setting up, her mom said, "Look, she gave each of us a paddle."

I said, "Yes, and since they're bamboo, they don't break very easily. You can spank really hard with those."

Her mom laughed, but she was not amused.

Oh, yes! I've done that before. And you can add a silk flower to a couple and make corsages for the bridal party too.

Yes, you can. I even considered that with this shower, but the bride was definitely a "no frills" kind of gal. I try to match things to the bride's taste.

Since this is your step-sister, Jen, you know her taste. Go as basic or as fancy as she would like.

Recipe card favorsI typed out the recipes we did at the show on nice card stock and made them kind of a keepsake. I did them in the colors of the show and put the recipe name and "made at x x's bridal shower on Sept x, xxxx" Then, of course, I put my info on the bottom. The guests loved them!
