Wedding Shower
Theme
The
idea of a bridal shower theme is a myth that goes back years,
it was said that there was a couple that were deeply in love but could
not afford to get married so their parents and friends showered them in
gifts for them to start there new lives. This tradition continued down
the generations but now days it is more for the bride to get with her friends
for her last night as a single person.
You can get games to play, specially
designed paper plates and matching glasses to use for easy cleaning afterwards.
Most people tend to go down to their local pub’s and club’s now as if to
say it is your last night of freedom.
When it comes to the preparation
of a gift list you could hold a theme where all the guests are given a
number from the 24-hour clock and their gifts have to respond to the number
they were given. For example, if you had number 9am you could buy an assortment
of coffee or a toaster as this is the sort of things you would use at that
time of the day. It is a fun thing to hold and some of the gifs people
come up with will have the bride in stitches.
Another theme could be a murder
mystery, where your party goes to a function and you all have a part to
play. It is a great night out for every one.
Other themes could be a spar
day out for the bride to be and all her close friends and family members
to pamper themselves before the big day. Sit and relax in a sauna then
have a facial and enjoy some beauty treatments.
If you want to spice up the
wedding shower theme, you could hire a stripper for the bride. This is
a very common theme for wedding showers, and you could end the night off
by having a good night out at a nightclub. Or you could just take
the slow lane and go out for a meal.
Other showers you could host
are garden showers, if the bride is in to her flowers you could get all
the guest to shower her in plants, seeds, garden tools and so on.
Or you could have a kitchen
shower where the guests could shower her with food items that also include
items to cook in like saucepans and bread makers. What ever your wedding
shower theme, try to match the gifts to it as best you can, if she is having
a winter wedding there is no need to get her shorts and a t-shirt.
For a gift basket wedding shower
theme you could get each of your guests to bring a box, or basket full
of imaginative gifts for a section of the brides home. These gifts could
include a washing basket that has cleaning items inside or a linen box
with bed sheets and duvets inside. They should write a card on the side
of each box to let the bride know who got what, as this will be very helpful
when she comes to sending her thank you cards out.
The tea cup wedding shower theme
is an intimate one each guest have to bring a tea cup or coffee mug that
best describes them, at the end of the shower the bride has a collection
of unusual and sentimental cups that reminds her of her closet friends.
This is a heart-warming wedding shower theme that the bride will not soon
forget.
Tie a quilt wedding shower themes
are one of the old traditions. Every one of the guests has to make square
piece that makes a story. When all the guests are at the bride’s house,
all of the squares are sown together to make a great big patchwork quilt.
This is a spiritual and sentimental wedding shower theme that will last
a lifetime.
The recipe shower is a nice
way to spread your knowledge of your favourite dishes, each guest has to
write a card out with their favourite recipes as well as make the dish
that will be the gift you end up taking to the bride’s house. Any gifts
that the guests bring should coincide with the dish. For example, if it
were a leg of lamb, you would bring a roasting dish and so on.
The international flair wedding
shower theme is an interesting one for the bride. Each guest is given a
country and have to provide a gift that represents there corresponding
country. So, if you had France, you could buy a bread maker with the ingredients
to make a French stick. If you had Spain, it could be an omelette pan.
By the end of it the bride should have a multi assortment of international
items.
There are a lot of wedding shower
theme’s you could use. It is best to do your research and pick something
the bride will like as well as what you and all the guests will.
