Fun Bridal Shower Ideas
The bridal shower is the perfect time for close friends to spend
time with the bride and share ideas and feel like part of the
wedding planning ideas. Usually only the most closest and
intimate guests and friends are invited. Nowadays, most often
the bride is notified of the bridal shower as hectic scheduling
usually makes surprise bridal shower ideas difficult to
accommodate. Since weddings are increasingly becoming more and
more expensive, it is both commonplace to donate funds for the
bride to use for wedding accessories - gift, wedding favors or
other bridal shower ideas such as decorations. Another option is
to buy exactly what the bride wants by encouraging each guest to
pick an item specifically off the list.
Themed bridal showers are becoming very popular for brides as a
precursor to weddings. Some popular and unique ideas for bridal
showers might be:
Destination Shower - the bride and bridesmaids take a trip to a
destination location for the bridal shower such as a cabin,
hotel or bed and breakfast to spend time together and reminisce,
while having fun. More unique shower ideas for the destination
shower might include camping, yachting, and skiing.
Kitchen and Recipe Showers - Friends bring their recipes and
utencils. A fun game to pay is for each guest to bring a unique
recipe idea, and to put them in a hat as a draw and then make
the food item.
Slumber Party Shower - Always a classic, your guests bring their
pajamas, popcorn, and teddy bears and everyone relaxes around
the T.V. for a night of nostalgic movies and cartoons, or simply
talking about love.
Classic Games Shower - Simply write down a list of the board
games you used to play as a kid, and get each guest to bring
one. You'll have a great time reminiscing over past memories!
Bridal Shower Favors are great ways to accent the shower theme.
Some popular favor ideas for bridal showers are candies, votives
or tea lights, flavored lip balm in decorative packages, soaps
and bath and body gift baskets, makeup kits and disposable
cameras.
Use your imagination and creativity to blend your favors in with
your bridal shower ideas. If the theme is kitchen, perhaps you
may offer assorted fruits in baskets wrapped in decorative boxes
or mints and chocolates. For the slumber party, perhaps a
personalized deck of cards for guest might do the trick.
