Wedding showers are a great time for ladies to come around and celebrate an upcoming wedding. They’re usually held about a month or two before the wedding, and can be thrown by friends, family or even co-workers who want to do something special for the bride and groom before their big day. Most brides will typically have several wedding showers before their wedding. If you’re planning a wedding shower for someone, and need some help with ideas, why not come up with a great wedding shower theme? Wedding shower themes can range from the funny to the practical, and are a great way to centralize ideas for gifts, decorations, favors, and even food and games. There are tons of possibilities for wedding shower themes, that you’re only really limited by your own imagination. So, if you’ve scoured the Internet looking for great wedding shower themes, here are a few that you might not have thought of.
The Pajama Wedding Shower Theme
A fun idea for wedding shower themes is the Pajama Wedding Shower. Ask all of your guests to show up in their (clean and un-slept in!) pajamas. Your snacks can be centered around a sleepover, such as with microwave popcorn, candy and cookies, chips and sodas. Ask your guests to bring gifts that are centered around sleeping, such as pajama sets for the bride and groom, alarm clocks, sheets, comforters, electric blankets, and anything else they can think of. It’ll be a great way to relax and enjoy your time!
The Pampering Wedding Shower Theme
Another great idea for wedding shower themes is to get pampered! Ask around for a local Mary Kay salesperson, or masseuse in training and ask them to come and give demonstrations and pampering to your wedding shower guests. Bring some foot spas for guests, and hire someone you know is good to give pedicures and paint nails. Be sure that all your guests understand if tips need to be given for anyone you’re bringing in. Decorate your space with calming colors and scents, use incense if you like and flowers. You can ask your guests to pitch in to cover a special pampering day for the bride, or to cover her hair and make up wedding day expenses.
The Be a Blessing Wedding Shower Theme
Okay, so I made this one up, and named it, so don’t try and find it anywhere else. I was thinking about all the stuff brides have to buy for their wedding and it got me thinking. Why not have a wedding shower theme which helps the bride collect everything she needs for her wedding reception? Instead of gifts from her wedding registry, ask the guests to supply gifts of things she will need for her wedding, such as wedding cake toppers, paper plates and napkins, cake servers, toasting glasses, a unity candle, gift certificates for the wedding invitations or programs, and even mints or wedding favors. Talk to the maid of honor to see what the bride is looking at purchasing to help you make all the right choices. The bride is sure to appreciate the help!
The Bring Your Pet Wedding Shower Theme
Dogs aren’t just a man’s best friend anymore, they’re also the babies of many women out there. If the bride has a dog or pet that they love like their own children, then you can always have a pet wedding shower theme. Invite all the guests to bring their pets. Make sure you have a pet friendly area, you can have pet and human snacks, games with pets and their owners, and some great decoration ideas in there too. Ask your guests to bring pet related gifts for the bride, new collars or leashes, pet carriers, and even outfits for the animals. Your pet loving bride is sure to love it.
The Mystery Wedding Shower Theme
Another great idea for wedding shower themes is to have your own mystery dinner. Grab a few key people out of your wedding shower guest list and create your own murder mystery script for them to learn before the shower. Your guests will love watching their friends and family act out this masterpiece and guessing who the culprit was more than some of the everyday wedding shower games they’ve played a thousand times.
Wedding shower themes can really be a lot of fun if you put some thought and imagination into them, and they don’t really have to cost a fortune if you do it right either. Wedding shower themes can focus on the shared interests of the couple, such as sports or hobbies, or even favorite colors. You can also find some great wedding shower themes by looking at what kind of wedding or honeymoon they’re going to have. The bride is sure to appreciate the time and effort you’re putting in, as well as have a great time! Check out my other article on Great Wedding Shower Themes for more ideas!
