As you search for different bridal shower ideas, remember that your guests will be just as excited about the door prizes as they are about taking part in the pre-wedding celebrations. They’ll be curiously anticipating what bridal shower favors and game prizes you’ll be handing out. Most people will be happy to receive anything, but it is always good to give something that is appreciated and enjoyed. The general rule of thumb is to select the bridal shower door prizes that you would like to receive yourself. Here are ten door prize ideas, both inexpensive and more expensive, for bachelorette parties.

If you want everyone to get a bachelorette party prize or favor, then you’ll probably want to pick one of these inexpensive favor ideas.

Economic entrance prizes:

  1. Makeup, such as lipstick or kits in the same colors as your decorations. Think pink lipstick for a pink and brown party.
  2. Fun or romantic candles. If the wedding will have a beach theme, you can even get candles in the shape of flip flops.
  3. Soaps that fit the theme of your bachelorette party. For example, you can get ‘perfect match’ soaps for that theme.
  4. Lotions in your theme colors
  5. photo frames You could even take pictures that day to put them in the frame right away.
  6. Bag hooks. Every woman needs a bag hook for restaurants or clubs, and we rarely have one.
  7. Small compact mirrors. These can also be personalized, for very little money.
  8. Personalized sweets or chocolates. The classic mint tins or boxes with chocolates are always popular.
  9. Personalized bookmarks. These can be purchased in many themed forms.
  10. Gift cards to places like Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks

If you plan to give only one grand door prize and can afford it, select something from the list of expensive prizes.

Most expensive door prizes:

  1. Movie tickets. A couple of movie tickets can also be combined with a dinner gift card.
  2. Restaurant gift card to a good local restaurant.
  3. Champagne or wine. You can also combine this with chocolate or candles for romance.
  4. Gift baskets with spa products or food. Select different lotions, bath salts and soaps; or pick up gourmet wine, cheese, and crackers.
  5. Spa certificates. A spa gift card works well if everyone is local to where the spa is located.
  6. Personalized manicure sets. Depending on what you choose, this can also be a financial favor that you give to everyone.
  7. Jewelry, such as small bracelets. There are pretty silk bags that you can put a cute bracelet or earrings in, as long as you have all the girls in your shower.
  8. Plants or flowers, if they are all local. The flowers can be placed in a pretty vase for a more lasting keepsake.
  9. Box of gourmet chocolates. There’s nothing like an expensive box of Belgian chocolates.
  10. Night in bed and breakfast. This is a more expensive prize, but it will surely be appreciated. You just have to make sure it’s somewhere that anyone in the shower can take advantage of.

For inexpensive bridal shower favors that you give out to everyone, you can place them at each person’s seat if you’re having a sit-down meal. Alternatively, you can place them on a table for your guests to grab on their way out the door.

If you’re only giving out one or two bigger prizes, there are a few ways to go about it. Giveaways could be a prize someone wins as part of your bachelorette party games, or you could use scratch-off lottery tickets. The person who gets the highest number wins the prize. A more traditional way to win is to place numbers under each seat or plate and have a draw at the end where you draw a number from a basket.

A great way to make sure everyone leaves happy is to give everyone a small, inexpensive bridal shower favor. Then give out just one or two bigger prizes for the winners of a game or sweepstakes. All of your guests will have something to take home as a memento of the day, no one leaves empty handed, and at least one person is ecstatic!
