Making centerpieces is one of the most fun parts of throwing a bridal shower (besides bridal shower games!). Here are some ideas to get you started!

If you make a centerpiece composed of separate pieces, then the guests can take something home with them at the end of the event. Shop at a dollar store and find some mugs that you like. They can be plain white or plain colored or if you like, get an assortment with sayings on them. Once you have the mugs, get different colors of curling ribbon, different colors of balloons, a helium tank (which you can rent), some illusion netting or colored cellophane, and some small candies.

Bridal shower favors are a time-honored tradition. Choosing and purchasing favors is quite simple.

Decide on the shower's theme. Once you select a theme, the rest will easily fall into place. To choose a theme, have a discussion among all of those who are sharing in the hosting duties. In most cases, the bridal party or the bride's closest female family members will host. If the shower falls on or near a holiday, use that holiday as the party's theme. A shower falling around Easter, for instance, can have a pastel, spring-type theme. If you're not interested in a particular theme, use the colors the bride has chosen for her wedding. These colors are generally the same color as the bridesmaid's dresses.
