Instructions

1. 

   Bridal Shower Basket
   A bridal shower basket is an easy and fun gift to make. It is a very versatile project. The basket can be small and dainty to include small items, such as jewelry, or the basket can be large and stuffed full of large items like pictured on the left. You simply find a basket, embellish it with ribbons and bows, and fill it full of items for the bride to be. Some items could be scented candles, scented soaps, bubble bath, facial supplies, manicure and pedicure supplies, and any other item that you think the bride would like. I like to make "relaxation" gift baskets. The bridal shower gift basket is one of the most popular homemade bridal shower gifts because they are customizable, easy, and fun to make.

2. 

   Bridal Shower Photo Album
   A Custom made photo album is another fun and easy gift to make. This photo album could be a bridal shower photo book, honeymoon photo book, before the wedding photo book, or the wedding day photo book. You can make a customized photo book by matching the cover of the book to the wedding colors, making it white, or making it match the bridal shower decoration theme.

3. 

   Cake
   Don't forget about the Cake! You can always make the bridal shower cake, cupcakes, or snack foods. This is a wonderful way to use your talent's to make a bridal shower gift. Catering can be very expensive, so why not lend your cooking talent's as a bridal shower gift?

4. 

   Flowers
   If you are talented at making flower bouquets, you can create a beautiful center piece bouquet for the bridal shower. If you are not the person that is hosting the baby shower, then be sure to contact that person to coordinate any color scheme that is being used.

5. 

   Personalize a CD
   If you are close to the couple, you could make a personalized CD with all of their favorite songs included. If you do not know them, just start asking a few questions of the bride and groom here and there. Before you know it, you will have all of the information that you need to create a very special, personal CD for the bride and groom to be.

6. 

   Paper
   You do not need to go all out to make a personal, homemade bridal shower gift. You can write a poem, sing a song, make a card, or combine any of these ideas with ideas of your own. Stick with what you know. You will have fun and be happy with your end result if you are not stressed out during your project. If you have no idea about how to arrange flowers, then do not take on the center piece bouquet project. Think about what you like to do and then go from there.
