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.
