Beautiful Bridal Shower Ideas
A bridal shower is a celebration where a woman's friends and family "shower" her with gifts. Planning a bridal shower can seem like a daunting task, but if you just focus on creating a wonderful time for the guest of honor it will be a breeze. Here are some great bridal shower planning ideas that will help you create a memorable event for the bride to be!
Bridal Shower Invitations
Traditionally bridal showers are for the female friends and family of the bride, but co-ed showers are becoming very popular. We have a Couples Hollywood Theme Bridal Shower if you are considering a co-ed shower. Either way, remember that you do not have to invite everyone who is coming to the wedding to the shower, but everyone who is coming to the shower better be invited to the wedding!
Send a bridal shower invitation from Creations For You that will get all of the guests excited. Remember to include RSVP information, as well as where the bride and groom have registered. You can dress up the invitation by sprinkling a little Bride to Be confetti in the envelope. Bridal Shower Decorations and Party Supplies
Once you have your colors chosen (we are going to assume pink and white, but feel free to change it up) decorating is easy. One decoration that provides a huge impact for minimal cost is balloons. Make bouquets of latex balloons in your chosen colors and add a classic wedding dress Mylar balloon to each bunch. An easy trick to making balloon bouquets that look great is to always group balloons in odd numbers, which are more pleasing to the eye. Another great room decoration is a life-sized cutout of the bride. It is a fun way to great your guests as they arrive, or you can place it near the buffet or gift table where everyone wil see it. I love it when showers have a table that displays photos of the bride and groom. This is a great place for a cutout as well. It is also a nice place to set out a personalized sign-in board or a personalized guest frame with a photo of the couple. Have guests leave a message for the bride and groom with with a personalized bridal shower pen, which guests can take home as a cute and practical party favor! Bridal Shower Table Decorations and Menu A buffet is the best choice for most bridal showers. I think light foods that you can snack on while mingling are appropriate. Fruit skewers, finger sandwiches, deviled eggs, stuffed mushrooms, and bruschetta are all great choices. Serve an alcoholic drink like sangria, plus a non-alcoholic option like sparkling punch, flavored tea or lemonade. For dessert you options are limitless; I love a chocolate fountain, or go with a pastry tray. You can't loose with sweets! :) Beautiful bridal shower paper goods will help you dress up the buffet. You can add interest to the buffet, bar and gift tables by adding a balloon bouquet to each. A white table skirt will dress the tables up. Add sparkle by sprinkling Bride to Be confetti across the top. Continue the same look at your tables. Start with a white table cloth, then place a simple flower arrangement in he middle. Pink and white carnations with baby's breath in a clear vase will look great without breaking the bank. If you have a large room, use balloon bouquets on the table instead. They provide the height needed to fill a larger space which makes the room seem more intimate. Then scatter more confetti across the table. Add a few oversized diamond rings as table decoration, a nice final touch! If you are having assigned seating or placecards, attach them to light up engagement rings with ribbon. Your guests will be wowed! Bridal Shower Games and Activities Here are a few fun bridal shower games to play:
See our Bridal Shower Games for more great ideas! When the bride opens her gifts, make sure someone is writing down who gave the couple what. A family member is usually a better choice than a friend for this job because they are familiar with many of the guests. One of the traditions in my family is to make a bouquet out of the ribbons from all of the gifts, which can be used as a practice bouquet at the rehersal. Just cut a hole in the middle of a sturdy paper plate and thread the ribbons through it as the bride opens her gifts. Remind her that the number of ribbons that she breaks while opening her gifts foretells the number of children she will have! Bridal Shower Party Favors
