Bridal
Shower Theme Ideas
Choosing
a bridal shower theme can be the product of the
bride's wedding gift needs, an idea centered around
her hobby or favorite TV show or perhaps the location
of her honeymoon.
Be
sure to get an ok from the bride on your theme idea
first.
Our
eBook has ideas for 40 different themes, including
description, gift suggestions, and ideas for the
menu, decorations, favors, games, game prizes, music,
dress attire and invitation design.
Choosing a theme allows you to shape the style and
spirit of the party. Once you have decided upon
a theme, it will help you to choose your decorations,
food, tableware, music, invitations, and favors.
Remember
that the shower will help the bride collect items
she will need for her home, so make sure that the
shower theme does not compromise her wish list.
For instance, don't go with a "Stock The Bar"
theme, if the bride needs basic items such as baking
pans and mixing bowls!
A
'kitchen Things' theme is a good idea for a first-time
bride. There are plenty of choices here because
the bride needs everything to stock a new kitchen.
Paper.com has a bridal shower invitation that includes
a a cut-away recipe card. The guest can simply fill
in the card with her favorite recipe, cut along
the dotted line, and bring the card to the Bridal
Shower! If she cannot attend, she can enclose her
recipe card with the respond card. Click on the
image to take a closer look.
Are
you thinking about creating a photo/memorabilia
album from the shower for the bride? A Cherry On Top, Scrapbook Shoppe has some colorful embellishments to add Pizzazz.
