Fun Wedding Shower Theme Ideas
Wedding showers are traditionally hosted for the bride-to-be by
her maid of honor. They can be as simple as a party at home for
friends and relatives of the bride, or as elaborate as a catered
sit-down dinner at a fancy restaurant. The one thing they don't
have to be is boring.
We've collected some of the best wedding shower theme ideas we've
heard and fleshed them out for you here. Whether the bride for
whom you're planning a shower is an outdoorsy girl-next-door or a
splashy, dramatic diva, one of our wedding shower theme ideas is
sure to suit her style.
Throw an 'Everything but the Kitchen Sink Shower' to help a new
couple get a start on housekeeping. If the newly married couple
will be setting up housekeeping for the first time, a wedding
shower with a 'Kitchen' theme is a great way to help them gather
the household items they'll need.
Instead of traditional party invitations, hand-print the party
information on recipe cards. Include a blank recipe card with a
request for each guest to write down a favorite recipe to include
in a communal recipe box at the shower.
Carry on the theme in the table decorations - and think
'reusable'! Instead of floral centerpieces, visit a dollar store
and pick up inexpensive kitchen accessories sets - the kind that
include a container and cooking utensils. Wrap each in a colorful
gingham dishtowel and tie with a perky bow. Replace the
traditional 'wishing well' with a laundry basket to hold small
gifts and cards.
For shower favors, attach tulle-wrapped candies or almonds to
wooden spoons with a pretty ribbon. Decorate with more of the same
- and incorporate 'decorations' that can go home with the bride
and find a home in her new kitchen. Gift suggestions could include
place settings of the bride's china pattern, sets of pots and
pans, and other household needs.
For the daring bride and close friends, host a Naughty Nightie
themed surprise shower. Looking for a wedding shower theme idea
with a little bit of flash? Contact a local representative for an
'intimate wear' company and throw a slumber party for the bride to
be.
Send out invitations and catalogs provided by the representative,
and note that all hostess credits will be used to spice up the
bride-to-be's wedding night trousseau.
To keep in line with the intimate wedding shower theme, make
pretty lingerie sachets as shower favors. All you need is a large
bag of potpourri, satin ribbon and pre-cut circles of tulle in two
colors. Layer two tulle circles, one of each color. Scoop 1/4 cup
of potpourri into the center of the circles. Gather the edges and
tie closed with 12-inch length of satin ribbon. Decorate the
refreshments table with tulle rosettes and spirals of curling
ribbon, and float ice cube rosettes (made in a special ice cube
tray) in the punch bowl for a romantic, sensual look.
Showers aren't just for girls anymore - host a Jack & Jill shower
with a fun 50s theme. Jack & Jill showers have gained popularity
in the past decade or so. Let the guys in on the action with a
50's style Sock Hop wedding shower.
Rent a hall and pull out all your high-school dance decorating
ideas. Streamers and colored lights are the order of the night.
Hire a DJ to spin pop tunes from all decades and clear the floor
so your guests can rock around the clock.
For a bit of in-theme fun, let the happy couple lead The Stroll to
the tune of Goin' to the Chapel and crown them King and Queen for
the night. At the end of the night, send your guests home with
miniature bud vases holding a ribbon-wrapped bouquet of Tootsie
Pops in the wedding colors.
