These were given out at my shower - the blue ones.
They are toile writer's blocks with matching pen. They are very useful. Keep them at your desk or by the phone. Everyone loved them!

I, too, am a toile lover. My sister (MOH) knows this. My invitations also have a toile envelope lining.

She got them at Lion In The Sun in Huntington. I also saw them at Noteworthy in Woodbury Commons.

She also had matching placecard toile pin cushions
with a pearl topped pin to hold the placecard. They were adorable.

For my co-ed shower my BM's gave out two different favors. Each female guest was given an umbrella. They wanted to give out something that was useful.

Re: Ideas for Bridal Shower Favors?

One shower I went to gave out little bottles of wine with the B & G names & date.

For my sister's shower I donated money in her name, to a Primate organization (anyone who knows my sis knows how much she loves - is obsessed with - primates)...I printed up little scrolls explaing a bit about the organization and what I had done - tied them with ribbon that matched our BM dresses. I displayed them in a basket with a furry little monkey hanging on the handle. My sister absolutely loved the idea...some of the older women felt 'slighted' that they didn't get a 'real' favor...but I didn't care so long as my sis liked it.
