Homemade Wedding Shower Favors
Wedding showers, also known as bridal showers, are a time to celebrate an engagement and forthcoming marriage. They allow friends and family members to gather with the bride and wish her the best in her future married life. When the bride has a shower, etiquette suggests that she send guests home with favors to thank them for attending the shower. You can make wedding shower favors at home inexpensively, and your guests will appreciate the gesture.
