In a time when many people are opting to save money and are cooking their own meals at home, the Kitchen Wedding Shower is once again becoming a very welcome party theme for many engaged couples. The idea behind this classic wedding shower is simple: to help the new bride and groom stock their kitchen…but that doesn’t mean the guest(s) of honor should have all the fun.

Remember to treat the rest of your shower guests to a little kitchen goodness too!

For some very quick party favors, simply head to the dollar store and purchase a selection of dishtowels. Fold each towel neatly and secure it with a ribbon or kitchen twine for a beautiful, useful, kitchen-themed favor. If you’d like to offer a more substantial gift to your guest, you could tie a wooden spoon or a set of measuring spoons in with the dishtowel. Be sure to add a personalized tag from Big Dot of Happiness to give your favors a polished look.

And for a thoughtful final touch, adding a round sticker label (from Big Dot, of course) to plain ruled note cards will instantly create personalized recipe cards to match your wedding shower theme. Copy down one of your favorite family recipes onto the recipe cards, tuck one into each favor and you’ll ensure all of your guests will return to their kitchens very, very happy!
