Matching jewelry or hair pieces are often a given among the bridal party, but what about actual hair products? True story: I was once in a bridal party of 10 and we had to share one can of hairspray while getting ready for the big day. It wasn’t fun.
Making little product bundles is a great preparation. And for those not in the bridal party, you still can’t go wrong with free hair products.
36. Coffee Mugs
Whether they are coffee addicts or ‘tea’totalers, mugs are always a good idea. I have not had one instance in my life where I was dissatisfied with receiving a mug. Not one. We’re sure they’ll feel the same.

How much should you spend on prizes for bridal shower games?
How much should you spend on bridal shower prize ideas? Well, that depends! How large is the party? How much time do you have for planning and purchasing?
These are questions to ask yourself before you start! If it’s a year out and the guest list isn’t huge, it’s easy enough to start a “Gift Closet” or “Gift Drawer,” to add to whenever you see a great prize.
If the number of guests is quite large, a bit last minute, or you simply don’t have the budget, there’s no shame in your DIY game!
How many games should you play at a bridal shower?
Always plan for at least 2-3 and have backups in case they A: aren’t going over well (example: the majority HATE memory games, etc.), or B. they go by too quickly and you’re left scrambling for more things to fill the time.
How many prizes for each bridal shower game?
A prize for each game, of course! Adding a few extras for those who tried hard but came up short, or prizes for second and third place is always a nice gesture, too.
