Bridal Shower
Theme: Wine, Wine, Wine!
A great shower
theme, especially for the bride who already has everything, is a fine
wine and champagne shower. Guests bring a bottle of wine to help
build the new couple's wine collection.
Bridal Shower
Theme: Bridal Ornament Shower
When my husband
and I got married we had all the household things we needed not only
from the showers but also from our wedding presents. The one thing we
did not have, Christmas items. Mainly ornaments to decorate our tree.
Ornaments are so expensive and a lot of people starting out don't
have a lot of money so spend on things like that especially when they
also have to buy Christmas gifts. I have decided for my friends'
wedding that I will give a Christmas ornament shower for one of them
and for the other one, since she is out of state, I will send her
Christmas things. For example: lights, ornaments and maybe a few
things to put out in her yard or garland to swag across her front
porch railings.
Bridal Shower Theme: ABCs
On the invitation,
each guest is assigned a letter of the alphabet. Whatever the letter
is the guest must bring a gift starting with that letter. Example:
The letter "L" the guest could bring lingerie. Also, the
letters assigned could spell the bride's name. I attended a shower
with this theme. It was fun! Each guest had to be creative with their
particular purchase.
Bridal Shower Theme: Specialty Wedding Items
This is a shower
idea that I had while looking over all of the little wedding details
that get cut out of most weddings on a budget. A shower of this type
would provide the bride with many of the little extras for the
wedding that she might not buy for herself. Naturally you would need
to confirm with the bride that she would like for her friends to pick
these items out rather than doing it herself, but I know I would love
to remember the thoughts of my friends as I see special touches on my
wedding day.
The invitation to
the party should include the bride's colors (including the color of
her dress - white or cream) so that the touches will all match.
Gift Ideas:
Engraved Champagne glasses
Personalized
wedding guest book
Fountain pen for
guest book
Engraved cake
cutter with ribbons to match wedding colors
A silver Tussy
Mussy for the bride to carry flowers in
Bride and Groom
hats and t-shirts for the day after
Almost any
engraved item for the reception
Bridal Shower Theme: The Clueless Gourmet - Cuisine's the theme.
Guests bring a
recipe along with some of the equipment to prepare it. For example.
give a cookie recipe along with a backing set, or instructions for
making frozen drinks with a blender. One the bride opens the gifts
put the recipes in a box she'll keep.
Bridal Shower Theme: Round-the-Clock Shower
On the invitation,
guests are assigned an hour of the day (ex: 9:00am) and challenged to
bring a gift appropriate to that hour (ex: coffee maker, alarm clock).
Bridal Shower Theme: The Big Picture
Everyone brings a
photograph for the bride and/or groom with a caption. Display the
photos on a board for everyone to view for the couple to keep.
They'll treasure the sentiment, guests will enjoy learning more about
the couple. Presents to shoot for: A damask covered photo album,
frames for wedding pictures, camera equipment, a VCR, use small
picture frames as place cards and favors.

staples are welcome - gadgets, dish towels, spice rack, canisters,
trivets, cookware. Party favors might include a wooden spoon or
refrigerator magnets.

health-conscious couple with gifts to help them stay in shape. Host
the shower at a health club or decorate in a sports theme. Set up a
juice bar and buffet with raw vegetables, salads and a big fruit
platter. Gift ideas: a bathroom scale, nonstick skillets (for low fat
cooking), a popcorn maker, hand-held weights, or other exercise gear.

for hobbies and entertainment, including theatre, movie, or sports

tea. Play soothing classical music.

At this service shower bring a hammer, nails, buckets of paint, and
whatever is needed to spruce up the couple's house or apartment.

a trip around the globe. Each guest brings a gift associated with a
particular country. Decorate the walls with maps and serve

course use chopsticks to devour sautéed chicken and broccoli;
present the bride with a wok and stir-fry set.

to stock the couple's bar with glassware, tongs, ice bucket,
corkscrew, napkins with silly messages, wine rack, fine wines or
boutique beers.

bring fits that inspired a never ending honeymoon: satin sheets,
massage oils, scented candles. Fill vases with red roses and serve
the foods of love: oysters, lobster, caviar, strawberries and cream,
champagne, and a heart-shaped cake. Wrap Hershey kisses in tulle and
tie with a red ribbon to give as favors.
Bridal Shower Theme: Thanks-for-the-Memories Bridal Shower
A great party for
close friends and family of the bride. Everyone is asked to bring old
photographs of the bride from her childhood or teenage years and to

together and good wishes for the future. As each guest shares a
memory, the letters and photographs are placed in an heirloom
