NEED advice on planning a BRIDAL SHOWER

Hi, I'm planning my sisters bridal shower soon. I have went to Peter Andrews and Broadway Favors in Massapequa I can't seem to find a really nice favor someone can use, appreciate and love. Any suggestions? Also did you have centerpieces at the shower if so what were they?

I love the potted plants. We did that for my SIL's shower and everyone loved it. Doubles a s a centerpiece and room decorations. Mine of course died in a couple weeks..but I can't keep plants.

For mine, my mom did wine stoppers. They were a hit and it was pretty cool because I wedding favors was bottles of wine. My mom didn't even know that!

At my shower we had a tea party theme
The favors were teacups, the centerpieces teapots with flowers. They also made me little plastic spoons with hersheys kisses wrapped in tulle that said' Thank you kisses from the future Mrs.'
See the newly wed board for a whole thread with shower pictures.

The best favor I ever got was a mug stuffed with different teabags and wrapped in tulle (teaparty themed shower). I thought that was the coolest thing - and to this day I use that mug!!!!
