Bridal Shower Favors - for a Dollar

Cristen Ward
Let's talk about Bridal Shower favor's. All of us who got married, or who are planning to get married, know the crunch on the wallet of making our dream day a reality. Now that I look back, I have learned you can get pure chic by being cheap. Yes cheap! I also learned that giving your guests something useful is better than anything that will collect the momentum dust. So let's get started.

We all heard of the Dollar Store, there is one on mostly every corner of every city in every state. This is truly a great place to shop. They have an array of products ranging from A to Zs. Walk in and take a look.

The Dollar Store Address Book:

We all need this, some of us are not cell phone or blackberry ecstatic, and what better to rely on for finding numbers than good old fashioned paper? Most women I know have tattered address books, or numbers written down on little pieces of paper thrown down where they will never be seen again. Not only are you giving these women a shower favor, your giving them organization. Once you have found the Address books of your choice by matching pens. Now to display them as favors at your party. Buy a bolt of ribbon and go around the address book like you would a boxed present and before you make your loops for your bow insert pen in center and tie your bow tightly making sure it will hold that pen.

The Dollar Store Body Mist And Lotion:

Women love perfumes and lotions. Anything to make us feel sensual and pretty. Try looking for body mist in the plastic pump bottle with matching lotion. Now go home to your computer, lay out a design and saying you are happy with, and print them off on small tags. Take some tulle cut big enough so you can gather at the top of your favors and some small ribbon and tie off with a bow . Take a hole punch and punch your tags at the top left corner and attach them to your ribbon bow.

The Dollar Store Kitchen Utensils:

How about a stainless steel whisk and matching mixing bowl? Yes the Dollar store has these. This is also another great Idea for the average women. We can never have enough kitchen gadgets. Insert your whisk into the bowl and wrap up with tulle and tie off with a bow. Print out a quirky saying on a tag maybe having to do with a recipe for love.

The possibilities to these dollar store ideas are endless if you just use some creativity. Brides always think they have to keep with in the theme of there wedding, you can do so by keeping with in the same color scheme of your wedding by finding matching tulle and ribbon.
