DIY Project: Bridal Shower Favors on a Budget

My beautiful friend recently got married and I had the honor to help her bridesmaids with the bridal shower decor. All of my supplies were purchased at the dollar store and created a charming accent to the center table. However, I did buy the candy from a grocery store because they have a better selection.


The items purchased were:

  1. Lace circles (12 in a pack)

  2. Ribbon in assorted color, which I have a lot left over to use on gifts for other parties and celebrations.
  3. Pink shot glasses. These have a different purpose usually, but why not use them for simple decor?




I also decorated candy bars with personalized stickers that you can put through your printer. Microsoft Publisher has the template. (I have publisher 2007). And yes, they were also from dollar tree!





One thing to be aware of at dollar tree is that there decorations and supplies slightly differ for each season. Those shot glasses were available for the summer but not for other seasons. Typically, you can always find something else to use. When I found out about the engagement, it was around Valentines Day. Therefore, there were heart decorations and a lot of pink items. I stocked up on heart confetti, pink streamers and other decor while it was avaliable. Stay tuned for more DIY Projects and Fun!
