If you are lucky to have someone close to you to plan your bridal shower, we are sharing our favorite gift ideas to thank them. We feel a small token of appreciation, for the time and effort that goes into planning a shower, is appropriate. Whether the shower takes place at a home, restaurant or banquet hall, any host will appreciate a sweet thank you note with a gift.
Tradition in Ashley’s family is for the aunts on one side of the family to host the bridal shower for the soon to be married couple. Ashley followed the theme of the shower favors, which were mini bottles of olive oil, and put together a gift basket with a variety of olive oils complimented by a jar of pesto, Tuscan seasoning and a candle, perfect to burn in the kitchen while cooking a delicious meal.
Remember, you do not have to spend a fortune and at the end of the day, it’s your decision whether to provide a gift. If you prefer, you could take them out for coffee, a drink or meal separately to spend extra time after the shower is over. While the ideas are endless, here are some of our favorite ways to say thank you to your bridal shower host!
- Bottle of wine with wine glasses
- Coffee mug with coffee or tea
- Fresh flower bouquet
- Cookbook with kitchen hand towels
- A good novel with a candle
- Personalize something: coffee mug, cosmetic bag, tote bag
If you head to your local Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Target, or Hallmark store, we are very confident you will end up finding something cute and perfect to gift! A little token of appreciation goes a long way!
