Bridal shower decorations/favors/etc. ideas on a small budget?

Question

I am hosting a (surprise) bridal shower dinner for one of best friends. It is about 2 weeks away and i am a 19 yr old college girl who couldnt find a summer job and i have never been to a bridal shower so not only do i not have a lot of money to put into this, I also don't have a lot of knowledge of typical decor. it will be in room at my church (white walls, tile floor, partions dividing it smaller), and I'm serving fried chicken southern style dinner. I have 5 large round tables (sit 5-6 people), two long buffet tables and a gift table. I expect 20-25 people in attendance. colors right now are teal and white (to match the wedding). I am very crafty. So, now with the background covered. if you have any suggests for decor, table settings, centerpieces, favors, prizes, I am open to any ideas that are inexpensive but would wow the bride (and MotB). I'm going for a casual,contemporary atmosphere but would still impress the older generation in attendance. Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

I just saw some really cute, not too expensive TEAL favors on this website:

they also have other similar colors like aqua blue and turquoise!

Answer 2

buy plastic vases and put fake babies breath and fake teal flowers in them. spice them up with turquoise and white ribbons, maybe some white and teal tissue paper.

stick to white table cloths!!!

get teal posterboard and decorate those to hang on the walls if you are crafty as you say

buy a bunch of teal confetti to sprinkle on the table

check out your local dollarstore for cool favors

put them in white lunchbags and use a teal sharpie to write the persons name, or the name of the persons shower, whatever u want.
