Helping plan a bridal shower is a right of passage in just about every woman’s life. Whether as a maid of honor, bridesmaid, sister, in-law or just as a girlfriend, we’ve all been given the task of helping plan a special day to honor the bride to be. Typically the women are assigned different tasks – food, games, decorations, invitations – and then there’s the dreaded one – party favors. What’s something everyone will enjoy? What can you buy 15-20 of without breaking the bank? What do you pick that is cute and personalized without crossing over into cheesy?

We’ve rounded up 15 of our favorite bridal shower favor ideas for under $15 that are cute, practical and sure to please your guests!

1. Druzy Rings: $10 each 

To switch things up, allow guests to pick their favors! It’s a little bit like shopping – and what women don’t love to shop?! Have a variety of colors, styles and sizes available to ensure everyone gets a piece they love.

2. Mini Perfume Bottles: $3.60/each

To keep costs down, look for travel size gift sets that can be split up as individual gifts. Everyone from grandmas to flower girls loves perfume, so sending everyone home with a mini bottle of freshness is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

3. Coozies: $5/each

These coozies are cool, cute and chic. Again, these are fun favors that can be incorporated into the design of the shower or will at least make for sure cute Instagram pictures.

4. Monogram cocktail napkins: $8

For another personalized option, look into monogrammed cocktail napkins or hankies.

5. Coin purse: $10

6. Coaster sets: $6

We know, we know… coasters = boring. Except when they’re these metallic beauties from Anthropologie!

7. Flash tats: $5.50/sheet

For a younger/edgier crowd we love the idea of sending them home with a little body art! You can even have a flash tat station as a shower activity to guests can take their bling home on their body. Or you can send your guests home with a sheet of tats they can keep for special occasions.

8. Polaroid Picture and Frame: $2.20/each plus film

For a truly personalized gift, set up a photo booth and snap a shot of the bride to be with each guest! Send them home with the picture and a magnetic Polaroid frame that they can put on their fridge!

9. Totes: $10

Again we ask – who can have too many bags?! From the grocery store, to overnight trips – everyone can find a use for a tote bag. Pick a cute design or let the ladies choose from a selection!

You can find body scrubs available in just about any scent! And if you want to keep costs down even more, here’s a recipe you can make yourself in bulk.

If your crew loves to travel, cute passport cases are the way to go! It’s a gift people don’t typically think to buy for themselves, but like to have.

12. Initial Mugs: $8/each

We love personalized gifts! For intimate showers, giving your guests something that is a little custom for each person makes a bit impact.
