How do you personalize the bridal shower favors?
Question by bazilica82: How do you personalize the bridal shower favors?
we are throwing my friend a bridal shower. we plan on getting her personalized candies as favors. we can have 2 messages. we agree one will be "bridal shower." but i think the other should be "mary & bob", while my friend thinks it should be just "mary" since the fiance (bob) will not be there and it's mary's shower. but bob plays a huge part in why we're having the shower in the first place, so he should be represented too, i figure.
also, she want's the ribbons to say "mary smith's bridal shower" but i think it should not have her last name at all...that's too formal. what is the proper etiquette in these matters?

You are right about "Mary and Bob" versus "Mary". Without Bob, you'd have no occasion for a wedding shower. I think Mary would be more touched by seeing her fiance's name paired with hers, than by seeing her name alone, as if it were, say, only her birthday.
However, I think "Mary Smith's Bridal Shower" is better than just "Bridal Shower", since it is, after all, Mary Smith's bridal shower! It could be rendered "Mary Smith @ Bridal Shower", only a flower or floweret instead of the @.

Good luck!
I think the 2nd one should be “Mary & Bob” you know b/c she is marrying Bob.
2nd thing, I think the ribbons should say “Mary’s Bridal Shower”.
I think that it should say Mary and Bob. Where years ago you only had the soon to be bride to come to the shower it is not uncommon for the soon to be groom to be there to. To keep from hurting any feelings from him or his family I would have his name on them also.
I think it is more personal if you put just Mary on the ribbon. To me it would be more like my friends are giving me the shower than if you put her first and last name on it then is more like going to the doctor and waiting for them to call your name to be seen. Of course I am sure Mary will like anything you all do for her.
I did find a good website that has alot of good information on it from favors to games.
Have a great time at the shower.
I think that Mary & Bob should both be on the candies and I think maybe the ribbons should say something like THE NEW MRS…. whatever his last name is or MARY’S GETTING MARRIED….something cute and quirky.
How about just having your monogam on it?
Let’s say your last name is Smith…it would be “m S b” (better handwriting style of course).
We had a similar problem at our wedding and that’s what my husband and I decided to do. Monograms everywhere…lol
mary smith will not longer be mary smith in a few months. it should be mary and bob on everything. how about “I do” or “To have and to hold”
the groom’s name shoudl be on something for sure.
