Kitchen Theme Bridal Showers This is an easy idea because every couple needs products for the kitchen. In this case, some of the decorations can even double as gifts for the bride to be after the shower. How about using new pot holders for the food you serve at the shower? A trivet for the food is another nice gift. Even plates and silverware can be part of the fun, however, you may want to use disposables for convenience. Guests can all be asked to bring their favorite recipes and gifts can be wrapped in dish towels, tablecloths, place mats, etc. Of course the bride to be will usually be registered and gifts can be chosen from that list as well. A heart fondue pot makes a practical as well as romantic gift and a batch of romance kitchen gift set includes a Newlywed Cook Book! Guest favors can be food items such as cookies, coffee, or even cocktails! Kitchen utensils would make perfect guest favors for a kitchen shower. Your kitchen shower can even be held in a restaurant, if it's more convenient. Here are some web sites that give suggestions on holding a bridal shower in a restaurant: Restaurant Bridal Showers at 4showers.com
Stock the Pantry Theme Bridal Shower
This is the perfect theme for a couples shower and/or a pot luck dinner. For the hostess on a budget, it can be very casual (which guests often like) and it could even be a picnic or pizza party. Decorations can be simple and disposable making clean up a breeze. Guests would be expected to bring canned food, cleaning items, boxed items such as pasta, laundry detergent, and anything else you would find in a pantry. This is the perfect shower for a couple just starting out because they will need everything. Nothing will need to be wrapped, just put them in a box or in grocery bags. A really cute gift would be the Hubby Helper Tool Belt! Favors, if any, should be simple and aren't really needed at this type of shower. Just give the guests some leftovers to take home and they will be happy. Food should also be simple such as pizza, a barbeque, tacos, etc. If it's a couples shower you don't want anything fancy. Cupcakes work well as a dessert for this type of bridal shower. |
