More Bridal Shower Themes
Recipe
Shower
Have each guest bring along their favorite recipe and a
pound of something to stock the bride's kitchen. It may
be nice to send a blank recipe card along with the invitation.
*Pampered Chef Consultants can also provide a bridal gift
show with cooking instruction. See Recipe Poem for a poem
to accompany the invitation.
Garden
Shower
For the couple that enjoys gardens and landscaping. Have
each guest bring along a gift related to gardening. Perhaps
fill a new wheel barrow with the gifts and have the party
outside. See the Garden of Delight Poem for the invitation.
A
Day of Beauty
For small bridal showers or second time brides a day at
the spa is a nice way for ladies to join the bride in a
day of pampering.
A
Shower For The Seasons
Each guest is assigned a season when they RSVP. The gift
each guest brings to the bride is something that can be
used during that season.
Calendar
Shower
Similar to the Shower for the Seasons above except you assign
each guest a month instead of a season.
English
Tea Party
This theme is popular for baby and bridal showers. Serve
a variety of teas to your guests. Then see my Favorite Recipes
page for some English recipes. To add some English flavor
to your party have a high tea where ladies are required
to wear hats and bring out your best linen: accent with
fresh flowers.
Honeymoon
Theme - Couples
For wedding couples honeymooning in the Tropics, a luau
party is always fun for all. For those honeymooning in Mexico,
throw a Mexican fiesta. Make sure to include costumes and
decorations to match the theme.
Backyard
BBQ - Couples
For some backyard fun throw a barbecue party. Guests can
bring gifts relating to outdoor cooking: cooking accessories,
picnic basket, gourmet beer, etc. If there is a large bridal
party they might pool their money and buy the couple a new
grill.
Honey
Do Party - Couples
Guests bring gifts for the man and woman according to a
"honey to do" list. Example: man: honey do the
yard work, honey do the repairs, etc. woman: honey do the
ironing, cooking, etc. We had a lot of fun with this one.
We used a wheelbarrow to put the gifts in and used a lattice
fence with ivy to put around it.
