Creative and Unique Wedding Shower Themes |
|
|
She's one of your best friends and she is getting married.
Nothing will show her how much you care more than throwing
a great bridal shower.
Make sure to prepare well in advance and let all of your
invited guests know when the wedding shower is.
Also, read our article on free
wedding shower games. Having a bunch of activities planned
will make the day a lot more fun. Games serve as a nice ice-breaker
when some or all of the guests don't know one another. |

| Wedding Shower Theme Idea #1 : A Fairy
Tale Shower |
 |
| A day in the park
is as relaxing as it is wonderful. This is a great bridal shower
idea for many guests when you are on a tight budget. Also, consider
this idea if you have many little girls to invite - they will
have a blast running around the park. |
| |
 |
| Location |
A private area of your
local park or your backyard. |
|
| Invitations |
Purchase handmade paper
and create a mid-evil crown for each guest using a cone
of heavy stock paper and a tiny bit of tulle. Handwrite
"A Fairy Tale Shower" on the front cover above
the veil. |
|
| Menu |
A decadent "Peasant's
Lunch" with roasted chicken, loaves of rustic bread,
a variety of cheeses, and lush, seasonal fruit. Don't
forget the sparkling wine and cider! |
|
| Entertainment |
A CD with early classical
music. To get an idea, listen
to this. |
|
| Favors |
A small basket of fresh
fruit, cheeses and crackers. |
|
| Accents |
Wildflowers adorn picnic benches.
A tent can be constructed using a lightweight fabric.
Make a mid-evil bridal veil for the bride.
Name cards can be made using tiny version of the bridal
veil. Roll colored card stock into a cone leaving a
small hole on top. Pull tulle through the hole and knot
on the inside. A toothpick can be place in the hole
with each maiden's name.
Fairy wands for the children. Purchase wooden dowels
at the hobby store. Cut out two construction paper stars
and glue them together over the dowel. Apply a smear
of glue and sprinkle glitter over each side. For an
extra touch, print each girl's name on one side of the
star |

Theme Idea # 2: A Day of Culture |
 |
| An afternoon at
the museum will leave all of your guests feeling like they have
had a real experience. The key here is the guided tour. Take
a small selected group and select a restaurant that fits in
your budget. This party works best with adults. |

Theme Idea # 3: Sunset at the Ranch |
 |
| Invite all of her
closest friends and family to an afternoon they will never forget.
Horseback riding is a fun, inexpensive activity that most people
don't do very often. This party is great for kids and adults.
Remind your guests to wear appropriate footwear (the ranch will
let you know what is acceptable) and a knapsack of some kind. |
| |
|
| Location |
A ranch that will take a group on a
guided tour. |
|
| Invitations |
Choose invites with a sunset
theme or better yet, a horsee theme! Make sure to include
a map to the ranch and a detailed set of instructions
for what to wear and what to bring. Often, the ranch will
have regulations guests must follow. Include a version
of these if available. |
|
| Menu |
Pack individual bag lunches of sandwiches,
chips, fruit and juice. Pass out the lunches before you
leave. |
|
| Entertainment |
Take a guided tour of your local wilderness.
Stop for lunch somewhere beautiful. |
|
| Favors |
Pass out bandanas. If your budget allows,
have them embroidered with the event name and date. |

Theme Idea # 4: A Lucky Potluck |
 |
| Ask each of your
guests to supply a different dish - preferably something exotic.
When everyone has tasted everything, take an anonymous vote
for the top three dishes. The winners take home a prize. |
| |
|
| Location |
Somewhere with a big oven,
a microwave and plenty of counter space. |
| Invitations |
Pot-luck invites are easy
to find. To avoid having all deserts or all beverages,
assign an entree to each guest or to a small group of
guests. |
|
|
| Menu |
Ask your guests to bring
an exotic dish and serving utensils. You provide paper
plates and beverages. If you are going fancy, ask your
guests to bring a bottle of wine as well. |
|
| Entertainment |
Go all out on the prize.
Announce it on the invitations and display it prominently
when the guests arrive. Since you are saving on the food
and wine, get together with a few other girls and invest
in a nice prize. A variation may be a panel of male judges
- her future hubby, her father, his father, his best friend,
etc. Let them decide which dish takes the prize. |
|
| Favors |
Purchase Chinese take-out
boxes and pack every one a small doggy-bag of left-overs
to take home. |
|
| Accents |
Create a game-show atmosphere
with a brightly decorated table and colorful name-tags.
