28 Bridal Shower Hostess Gift Ideas
Find the best hostess gifts for your bridal shower hostesses! You’ll love these creative and affordable gift ideas for your shower hostess.
When your friends and family come together to throw a bridal shower for you it is a true labor of love. Although your loved ones will tell you that throwing a shower doesn’t feel like work, they put a lot of planning, energy, and money into hosting a party in your honor. Therefore it is only proper to return that hospitality with hostess gifts for bridal showers.
Because every dollar counts when you are planning a wedding, gifts for your shower hosts or hostesses don’t have to be extravagant. Instead of thinking about the quantity, consider quality when giving a gift. Obviously, a thoughtful handwritten note on beautiful stationery with a small present is a great way to say thank you. Bridal shower hostess thank you gifts are a sweet way to show the guests care.
Moreover, if you are more of a DIY bride-to-be, consider making your favorite body scrub or a tasty treat for each lady or gentleman who helped plan your pre-wedding soiree. Whether it’s your maid of honor or a family member, you’ll want to pick a gift that shows your appreciation. They’re hosting an event in honor of one of your life’s biggest moments, after all. In this case, a gift card simply won’t fit the bill.
However, if you are stressed about buying more gifts, remember that less is more. Focus on how much this individual loves you and wants to celebrate your upcoming nuptials. The perfect meaningful bridal shower hostess gift doesn’t have to come with a big price tag to show the depth of your gratitude.
For the question of who throws the bridal shower, that will be a close family member or friend of the bride. Multiple people can take on the planning to be cost-effective while staying beautiful!
