First Holiday/Occasion Bridal ShowerA Bridal Shower Theme
Wouldn't it be nice to get a head start on the holidays for once? Even if every day seems like Valentine's Day when you're with your spouse-to-be, it is always more difficult to plan something romantic for your spouse than it is for your fiancé. Let your shower help relieve some of the stress by showering you with necessities for the holidays. Each guest will be assigned a different holiday to help the couple-to-be prepared (depending on the size of the holiday as well as the guest list, more than one person may be assigned to each holiday). Be as funny, creative, and romantic as you possibly can be with the assignments. A few lucky friends or family members will even get to plan the couple's first anniversary! Happy Holidays from the Party Girl and Party411.com!

Bridal Shower Invitations You can have fun with this one by sending out invitations using assorted holiday cards. Or decorate the front of each invitation to represent the holiday (i.e. Fireworks for Independence Day, Christmas tree, Menorah, etc.) that is being assigned. See Party411 Creations For You holiday invitations for a wide range of fun options. Decorations Balloons and flowers in the bride's colors can decorate the entire room. If you choose, tastefully mix decorations for a variety of holidays to set the mood for the shower. You can also have a little fun by mixing them up with some wacky creativity. Let yourself go! Here are some great products for several holidays:
Centerpieces - Each table may represent a different holiday. The centerpieces can reflect them. For each table, use displays that appropriately represent the holidays at the party (i.e. anything with hearts for Valentine's Day, a Christmas tree/ornament for Christmas, a Menorah for Hanukkah, etc.). Seating Cards - Each seating card can either have a sticker on it which represents the holiday of the table where they are sitting, or be shaped into something that represents the appropriate holiday. Activities "Love is..." - Write 25 romantic or sexy words on index cards, such as throbbing, lips, passion, candlelight, roses, chocolate, and so on. On another 25 index cards write some non-romantic images, such as ironing board, wallpaper paste, bikini wax, nose hair, motor oil, and so on. Stack the two piles separately, and distribute paper and pencil. Have each player draw a card from each pile. When everyone has 2 cards, ask them to write a silly love poem using the two words or phrases they have drawn. For example: "Roses are red, they make me hot! Your eyes are sexy, your nose hairs are not!" Have them read their poems aloud one at a time. "Bride/Groom Trivia" - Test your partygoers' knowledge of the bride and groom to be. I was at a party somewhat recently where we played this game and it was really funny. Ask the guests questions like, "Where did the couple go on their first date?" "How did the couple get engaged?" "How did the couple meet?" The person who answers the most questions correctly wins a prize. Party Favors Buy little boxes of candy (chocolates are a favorite), and wrap them up like little presents. Doesn't everyone love to receive gifts? In fact, our personalized candy bars make great favors! Sample List of Occasions
