Ideal for either a vineyard- or garden-themed wedding, the floral appliqué on these stoppers is sure to please. Not to mention that there are nearly 30 colors to choose from, and they come with free organza favor bags to make wrapping them up a breeze.

There’s a good reason why this is one of the brand’s best-selling candles. Sweet notes of blackcurrant berries blend perfectly with fresh and green notes, all coupled with just a touch of rose. It’s sophisticated and a universal favorite, sure to please everyone. Plus, the chic glass jar can be repurposed to hold matches, makeup brushes, or anything else you’d like once you burn through the candle.

This itty-bitty magnetic bouquet complete with the couple's names is an ideal option for those looking for an affordable favor. Choose from seven different colors of flowers, as well as a mixed option that blends five hues.

Spread the love but contain the clutter. These heart-shaped, ceramic dishes are sweet and functional, and they're the perfect spot to corral jewelry, keys, or loose change. This simple yet sweet favor will show your guests just how much you heart them.

Especially ideal for a brunch-time bridal shower—or for the bride who is well-known for her love of coffee—these kraft paper bags come printed and ready to go. All you have to do is add in some of your favorite java.

Long-lasting and pretty much foolproof, succulents are a surefire gift that your guests will be able to hang onto long after the party is over. These come shipped complete as a kit, and do require a little bit of DIY effort to plant each succulent into the included handmade, wooden planter. The end result is totally worth it, and can easily double as the perfect place setting and favor at any bridal shower.

Is there any dessert more decadent and feminine than the macaron? We think not. Pick up the bride’s favorite macarons, then use these pretty boxes to package them up. They come complete with customizable labels where you can add the wedding date and couple’s initials, as well as an array of different colored ribbons to choose form.

Pretty meets practical, thanks to these adorable stick-on labels made to fit perfectly on the pocket-sized Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers. (Note, you’ll have to buy those separately.) The chic font and subtle eucalyptus design work well with any color hand sanitizer and/or décor theme; we also love these as an addition to hotel welcome bags.

Any and every type of wedding celebration calls for champagne, and this easy-to-design label template is the perfect way to customize the bride’s favorite bottle of bubbly. Download the template and edit the text, then simply print and add it to mini bottles of bubbly.

Give your guests an easy way to create an at-home spa experience with these 100% natural bath bombs that are scented with rose essential oils and smell just as good as they look. The handmade, heart-shaped minis come topped with real rose petals, all you have to do is customize the wording on the packaging.

Set these out at each place setting at the bridal shower. They’re great for sipping mimosas or champagne during the event (obviously) and double as a great favor for your guests to bring home. Engrave the stemless flutes with each guest’s name, the wedding hashtag, or any other fun phrase that resonates with the group.

These handmade beaded bracelets can be customized with your choice of name and bead color. They’re adorable as a bridal shower (or bachelorette party) favor and also make for a great photo opp.

A lip balm alone would be a cute favor, but go ahead and up the ante and pair it with this personalized card. Customize it with the bride’s name and shower date (you can even add a photo), then print them out and pop in an EOS lip balm (not included). Mix and match the colors of the lip balms, or choose just one for a more cohesive look.

Lollipops aren’t just a great favor idea for a kids party. This totally grown-up, totally sophisticated version is a perfectly sweet option to use as a favor for any shower. Each is handmade and filled with (completely edible) 24K gold leaf, a great way to add a little bit of extra sparkle to the special day.

Gift your guests something that they can actually use after the festivities are done. This cute cosmetic bag will help them stay organized on vacations and big events (like your wedding). Made of linen, it's pretty and high-quality enough to use as a clutch if needed.

Ideal for any and all skin types, this spritz relies only on natural and organic ingredients to hydrate and balance your complexion. It feels refreshing and smells divine, the perfect mid-day pick-me-up. The price point is slightly higher, so consider it for events with a smaller guest count, and/or to use as a prize for bridal shower games.

We have yet to meet someone who couldn’t use a few extra hair ties, truly the definition of arguably the most practical gift of all time. Still, these are still cute enough to work as a great wedding favor and come as a set of three in festive prints and colors on a witty card.

Face rollers are all the rage, and this particular one makes for the perfect shower favor. Not only is the rose quartz especially pretty, but the crystal is also known to promote feelings of love—how perfect for wedding festivities is that? It also comes in a mini case that’s ideal for travel.

Who doesn’t love a little sweet treat after a party? These come from a female-owned, mother-daughter brand, featuring delicious caramel dipped in chocolate and topped with sea salt from the waters off the coast of Maine. You can also choose to add custom packaging if you want a little extra special touch.

Sure, this is pricier than many of the other options on this list, but it is a nice gift if you’re having a smaller shower, or to give just to the bridal party. The sleep mask, made of high-quality mulberry silk, comes in two pretty colors and will be the perfect thing to bring on the bachelorette.

We love when a favor can be both pretty and practical and this truly checks both boxes. Have each of these cotton totes monogrammed with each of your guests’ initials for a personalized little gift that they’re sure to get plenty of use out of.

If you’re looking for a fun alternative to a succulent or other plant favors, consider this unique option. The convenient kit features everything you need to grow 100% organic lavender (no green thumb required) in any space, for a pretty and fragrant addition to your home.

Stationery is another one of those things that people always appreciate, without fail, and this is some of our favorite. Choose from a wide assortment of fun prints and patterns, and add your guests’ names on it for an extra special touch.

Not only are these scrunchies super cute (and yet another practical pick), they’re also made from bamboo silk, which is naturally super gentle on your hair and can help combat frizzies and breakage. These come as a pack of four, so you can easily split them up and give each guest one.

We were already big fans of this wine label, co-created by Cameron Diaz and Kathleen Power; all of the varietals are made with clean ingredients and are absolutely delicious. Now, the white blend and rosé both come in a convenient can format, perfect for sending home with your guests.

Having a destination wedding? Luggage tags make a great favor, something your guests will be able to put to good use on their way to celebrate your big day. These are made from recycled vegan leather, come in three neutral shades, and can be personalized with a foil-stamped monogram.

A match cloche is one of those chic home accessories that you likely won’t buy for yourself, making it all the more fun to give as a favor. These are made of hand blown glass in various colors and come with 120 matches. Pair it with a candle or gift them solo.

Oh-so pretty and femenine, these travel-ready coffee mugs come in four different floral prints and colors; try mixing and matching and setting them out as favors to add a fun pop of color to your bridal shower tables. Plus, they’ll be great to bring to the bachelorette, too.

A fun twist on the traditional champagne toast, these gummy bears are made with real bubbly (Dom Perignon, to be exact). They come in yummy Brut and rosé flavors, housed in cute clear bottles that are ready to gift—no wrapping required.

This aptly-named shade is a gorgeous, creamy pink-y beige that’s extremely flattering on a variety of skin tones. It also makes for an ideal bridal mani color, just saying.

Picture frames are a guaranteed crowd-pleasing gift, always. Personalize it yourself by using each 4x6 frame as a place card, putting a photo of the bride with each guest into each frame. The pedestal gives the frames an elegant touch, and the brass finish makes for a vintage and girly feel.

This delightful all-natural sugar scrub will be a sweet reminder of your bridal shower long after the special event. Each 4-ounce jar includes vanilla-scented sugar scrub and a wooden spoon. The jars come with a custom label and ribbon in the color of your choice. All you’ll need to do is attach the wooden spoon to each jar, and they’re ready to put out for your special guests.

These colorful bud vases will make a beautiful addition to your bridal shower and also make thoughtful gifts for your guests. They come in 17 different colors and are sold in sets of five, so you can incorporate your own color scheme into the gift. Add fresh or dried flowers to each vase and place at each guest’s place setting.

FAQ

• Who hosts the bridal shower?

  “Traditionally, the bridal shower is hosted by the maid of honor and bridesmaids,” explains Miller. “However, as brides and weddings have gotten less traditional, family members, close friends, and even neighbors can host a shower; brides can even have multiple showers hosted by different groups,” she says.

• Are there other DIY bridal shower favor ideas?

  Miller suggests incorporating a fun DIY project as part of the shower, the result of which guests can then take home and you can use at your wedding. Her suggestions: Handmade paper that can be used in a guest book, or wax candles that can become part of a tablescape.

• How much should you spend on bridal shower favors?

  The first thing to remember is that it’s the thought that counts. The amount you spend on shower favors depends on a couple of factors. First, consider your budget, you don’t need to overspend to have nice favors for your guests. You’ll also want to think about how many people will be attending.

  If there will be a large number of guests, you’ll want to keep the price per favor as low as possible, ideally between $1 and $5 per favor. For more intimate gatherings with a few close friends, you might want to splurge on shower favors and spend $25 to $35 to get something they’ll use and enjoy for a long time, like the Rose On Face Roller Petite.
