Bridal Shower Themes and Ideas

bride and gifts

Bridal Showers are normally given by the maid of honor, or a close friend. The bride never plans the shower.

It used to be quite a stuffy affair, but now it's more a gathering of friends and family.

Pick a theme and go with it. Plates, cups, decor, gifts, ect. You can either stay with that theme for the gifts, or just let everyone bring what they want.

Themes do make it much easier. You could also just go with a color scheme. Use 2 or 3. No more than that.

You could also just go with a Bride theme. Use Bride To Be bridal shower supplies in that case.


Themes

Bed and Bath

All the gifts and decor are something the bride can use in the bedroom or bathroom.

Down Home

Create a country theme with mason jars and galvanized buckets. Fill jars with sunflowers. Serve peanuts. Give country gifts(baskets, canning jars, country candles, ect.).

Flowers

Use any flower as your theme. Roses, daisies, tulips, sunflowers, ect. Decorate using that flower. Have everyone bring a gift with that flower on it.

Garden Party

Center you decor and gifts around a garden theme.

Garden Tea Party

Host a tea party in the garden. Serve tea and finger foods.

Gift Basket

Everyone brings a basket full of gifts.

Hearts

All decor and gifts are all about hearts. Love is in the air.

Kitchen

Guests bring gifts that can be used in the kitchen.

Lingerie

Gifts could include...Robes, slippers, gowns, bath stuff, teddys, lotions, and perfume.

Pamper the Bride

This is a spa party. Make the bride feel extra special.

Vintage Tea Party

Use vintage tablecloths and tea sets. Have everyone bring vintage gifts.


Games

Design the Bridal Gown

Divide into 2 or 3 groups. Give each group a roll of toilet paper, tissue paper and pins. Let them "design" a bridal gown. Have a time limit.

Crossing Leg Game

Everyone receives a safety pin upon arrival. You can't cross your legs. If you do, someone can take your pin. The lady with the most pins at the end wins.

Bride Bingo

Purchase bride bingo. Give prizes.

Bride's Name Game

Print the bride's name at the top of a piece of paper. Give one to everyone. See how many words they can come up with.

Guessing Items

Prepare a tray with an assortment of items on it. Stay with your theme. Show to everyone. Take it away. See who can write down the most items.

Cake

Your cake could be in keeping with your theme, or something the bride enjoys doing. For example, if she loves to drink tea, have a teapot cake.
