​Edible Prizes for Your Bridal Shower

ALCOHOL
Mini bottles of wine or champagne make perfect prizes for bridal shower games - especially when you have a few winners (this happens when games require party guests to break into teams and, therefore, win as a team). Buy in bulk (six packs or more) when on special and save yourself some money.

BAKED GOODS

Whether you decide to cook up a storm or purchase from one of your local bakers, small goods packed neatly in little bags or boxes make for beautiful (and delicious) prize ideas.

If you're hosting a themed bridal shower or event, this is also a great opportunity to get a little creative in the kitchen. You could bake biscuits or cupcakes to suit just about any theme/colour palette.

​
​CHOCOLATES
Easy and loved by many - boxed chocolates not only make for cheap bridal shower prizes, but are also bound to be received with mouth watering smiles.

​Favourites, Malteasers, M&Ms, fancy truffles, or something a little extra (Baci is one of my faves), there are so many choices when it comes to boxed chocolatey goodness that you'll have as much fun shopping for them as your winner will devouring them!



COOKIES IN A JAR
Fill a jar with ingredients needed to bake a cookie (or cake, cupcake, etc.). Attach cooking instructions (plus any additional ingredients needed, such as an egg or milk) with a twine bow and fasten the lid. A good prize with delicious results!

Handy Tip:
This works best with simple ingredients and instructions.



GIFT CARDS
Pizza, fish 'n' chips, or even a cappuccino - a gift card to one of your local eateries is a fun way to treat winners. Take your small gift cards up a notch by pairing with similar products (e.g. pizza voucher with a red wine bottle, cute coffee mug with cappuccino voucher, and so on).

Handy Bridal Shower Prize Ideas

Beeswax food wraps make for such fun wedding shower game prizes. Environmentally friendly, reasonably priced and full of funky colours/patters, they can be used to cover salad bowls, sandwiches, leftover food, cut vegetables and more. Plus, whenever you go to the fridge it's kind of like opening the door to a party - so many colours!

​
​COLOURFUL REUSABLE STRAWS

★Click here to view a range of colourful reusable straws★

Many people love to sip their bevvies from a straw, so why not provide them with the environmentally friendly tools to do so?

Bright and fun, reusable stainless steel straw packs make fantastic gifts and prizes that can be used over and over... and over again!

​COOKIE CUTTER SET
Cookie cutter sets come in all shapes and sizes. From cartoons and animals through to shapes such as hearts, they are the perfect prize option if you're trying to keep everything in theme (because, let's be honest, there's a little something for everyone when it comes to these treats).

​A fun prize that's also extremely handy on the home front, cookie cutter sets will be something the lucky winner can continue to use for many years to come.


​​​

​ENGRAVED WOODEN SPOONS

★Click here to view a range of engraved wooden spoons★

Wooden spoons are a must-have kitchen utensil, which means they would also make for fantastic bridal shower prize ideas. But rather than handing your winner a plain old wooden spoon, why not spice things up a bit by presenting them with an engraved spoon instead?

​From sweet messages to hilariously cheeky quotes, there are so many ways to bring the fun to your celebration with these gorgeous prizes.

TEALIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS
Candle holders make a beautiful addition to the home - so why not sue them as a prize option? From sleek, modern designs to rustic beauty, there are so many different types of holders on offer that you're bound to find one to suit the overall theme of your event.


​
VASES
Vases can be created out of anything. A pack of mini glass milk bottles minus the lids, a mason jar, unique jars that have been cleaned up, actual vases in a variety of colours and/or sizes. Alternatively, you could purchase one beautiful vase and have it displayed in a pretty box.

Living Prizes for Your Bridal Shower

FLOWERS IN A VASE
Ok... so these were living! But they're just as beautiful in vases as they were in the garden! A great and inexpensive option for those who have yards full of colourful beauties; simply bunch them up, fasten with pretty ribbon and/or twine and place in small glass jars filled with water.


​​​

MAGIC BEANS
Just the name 'magic beans' sounds fun! These cute bridal shower game prize ideas have images or words engraved on their seed, meaning as they grow they will show a special message. Such a beautiful and unique gift that's also lasting.
​

​

PLANTABLE CARDS

★Click here to view a beautiful plantable heart pack★

I love the idea of plantable cards. They look beautiful and have an air of surprise about them (your guest won't know what the flower is until it grows). Customise with a cute message (such as 'WINNER at Bec's Bridal Shower!') for extra fun.

​PLANTS

★Click here to view beautiful indoor plants for sale★

Indoor pot plants that you've either potted up yourself or purchased from a store make the best prizes.

They're beautiful, great for cleaning the air in your home AND will be a constant reminder of the fun had at your friend's bridal shower.

As you don't have to buy for the whole guest list, you have the chance to purchase in a size that suits. You can also go for any style of your choice. Cute, prickly, edible, the bride's favorite color - the choice is yours!

SEEDS

​

CARD GAMES

​FACE MASKS

​
PUZZLES
As with card games (mentioned above), puzzles are another great option to stock up on should they be on sale. Not only are they a great bridal shower game prize idea, but they also make great gifts should no-one snap them up (that, or you could keep them yourself - don't underestimate the hours of fun a puzzle can provide your family!).

And For the BIG Winners... Hampers!

COLD WEATHER CARE PACKAGE
Blankets, gloves, beanies, hot chocolate mix, fuzzy socks, hot water bottles, coffee mugs, soup, bottle of wine - there are so many fun filling ideas for cold weather care packages. Make the hamper as small or large as you like (budget depending, of course). You could even ditch the hamper idea all together and make these individual prizes.



KITCHEN/HOME GIFT BASKET

★Click here to view a range of stunning, eco-friendly home products★

A great prize for someone who has just moved into their new home, kitchen/house packs can be filled with anything from utensils (such as wooden spoons and egg flippers) and coffee beans, to fun mugs, tea towels and aprons. A couple of cute plants (herbs even) would be a beautiful final touch.



PAMPER HAMPER
Spa products displayed nicely in a small basket or box makes for a beautiful prize that will leave the winner feeling relaxed, refreshed and revitalised! Give the gift of pamper with face masks, bath bombs, candles, essential oils, natural body scrubs, soaps, lip balm and more. A simple yet effective hamper that will go down a treat.

Handy Tips

​PRIZE BASKETS
If your bridal shower games prizes are of similar value, why not place them all into a basket and allow guests to pick their own should they win? This means your lovely friends will get something they actually like and can't wait to take home.

​

TOKENS
Make the games a little more fun by handing out tokens to winners rather than prizes. Why? Because at the end of the day, game winners can redeem a prize depending on the amount of tokens they have (just like picking out toys after winning tickets at TimeZone!).

To set this up, simply bunch prizes into different groups on a table. Place small signs in front of each bunch letting party-goers know how many tokens they're worth. The more tokens, the more elaborate the prize (for example, 1 token = small box of chocolates, 10 tokens = cold weather care package). Those with the most tokens get to pick first.
