Bridal Shower Themes and Ideas
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.
