  A shower brings the friends and family of the bride together to help celebrate the upcoming wedding. It serves as a way to give gifts and wishes for the nuptials. Showers usually involve games and sharing of memories of the bride and her life, complete with a door or contest prizes for the guests. Coming up with prominent prizes is not easy. Every host wants her party to be distinguished and meaningful. A well-thought-out award system can make or break the celebration. Consider some notable options to make the bridal shower you plan an unparalleled celebration.
  
  

Centerpieces

• Each shower guest often covets the centerpiece from the table. Giving the centerpieces away as game prizes eliminates the competition to collect this decoration. Create a game, such as Who Knows the Bride or Bride Trivia. The winner will take home their choice centerpiece. Runners up might choose their favorite smaller decoration from the shower.
  
  

Scrapbook

• This scheme provides a memorable gift for game players and a fun game. The host creates or purchases a scrapbook. Each page offers different instructions for each participant to follow. For example, the first player opens the book and reads, "Give this book to the person on your left." The next player moves on to another instruction, such as "Hand the book to the guest wearing the most green." Each page provides a separate path for the scrapbook until it makes its way around the room. The last person holding the book gets to take it home to use for their own photos of family and friends.
  
  

Bride's Hat

• The host makes an appropriate and fancy hat or veil that the bride wears throughout the shower. The veil enhancements can include funny phrases or items such as pictures of the couple. No matter how you dress up your bride, the hat of honor will be an outstanding piece of memorabilia from the shower. Play games or have a drawing to determine the grand prizewinner. That guest goes home with the treasured headpiece worn by the bride.
  
  

Bottle of Wine or Champagne

• A bottle of wine or champagne might be a coveted prize. Add adornments to the bottle that adhere to the bridal shower theme for an added touch. The decorations could be complex, such as a ribbon with the name of the bride and groom or simplified with flowers to match the colors from the upcoming nuptials. Regardless of whether decorate the bottles, wine and champagne make effective awards that most shower guests will enjoy.
