Wedding Shower Themes and Ideas
The 1990’s Shower
Everything about this shower should scream nineties! Send out invites on Lisa Frank notecards. Have guests come dressed in their favorite 1990’s gear. Spandex, french braids, jellies, lots of neon, Skechers, high-waisted whitewash jeans, and stirrup leggings. Decorate the room with cassette tapes and 90’s movie posters. Include ring pops, pop secret popcorn and slap bracelets in the party favor bags. One game idea could be name that 90’s heartthrob. Or bring Girl Talk and play a round or two. Prizes could consist of a friendship bracelet kit, a mix CD of classic 90’s songs, or madlibs.
The Kitchen Shower
Ask guests to choose gifts the bride will need to establish an ideal newlywed kitchen. Gifts might include tools, utensils, cookware, bake ware, appliances, kitchen linens, and cookbooks.
A Kitchen Shower is the perfect occasion to go potluck. If your kitchen can manage, request that a few dishes be brought assembled, but uncooked. When your guests arrive, pop their culinary creations into the
over, and serve wine in the kitchen while you enjoy the aroma of what is soon to come. Guests might also bring along their signature recipe, written on an index card.
At the end of the shower, present the bride with a recipe box full of favorite recipes from her favorite people.
The Fashion Swap Shower
Have the fun of shopping in the comfort of your own home. Have each guest bring a designated number of items that they no longer wear or use (items such as purses, jewelry, shoes, scarves, etc). Make sure they are not in bad condition. Display them as the guests come in. Once everyone arrives, let the guests shop. They can only leave with the same number of items that they brought. Consider bringing in a makeup artist or hairstylist to give makeovers and give tips about new looks for your guests.
Food Truck Coed Shower
Not sure what to do for a coed shower? Look into your local food truck vendors. See if you can hire them for an evening. Locate an area that caters to food trucks and rent it out for a few hours. Guests can get food at their leisure while still enjoying party games such as The Newlywed Game. You could also split guests into two teams and play trivia to find out who knows the most about the couple’s relationship.
Les Amis Du Vin Shower
Pronounced “layz zam mee doo van”, this shower literally translates, “The Friends of Wine.” And you don’t have to be a connoisseur of the grape to enjoy a good year. Ask your guests to bring two selections
of wine; one to enjoy at the party and one to add to the collection you are quickly establishing for the happy couple.
Think of your Les Amis Du Vin Shower as an intimate, elegant wine tasting for good friends. Select a timeless invitation; evocative of an elegant, refined mood. If
you decide to hold your soiree at home, serve a fresh fruit plate complete with pears, grapes, melons, and all her favorites. Set out boards of delicious cheeses, accompanied by crostini, focaccia, and other rustic
breads. If you decide to hold your Les Amis Du Vin party at a restaurant, they may charge you to open the wine, so be sure to inquire in advance about corkage fees.
Engagement Party Themes and Ideas
Wine and Dine Theme
Set the Mood
If the couple has a taste for the finer side of life, treat them
to a night out at the best restaurant in town, a dinner theater, a table at the comedy club, or a concert. Or bring the high life home and have each guest bring a bottle of wine and stage
your own wine tasting, with participants evaluating wines from bottles with their labels masked. Afterwards, see which bottle scored best with the group.
Food and Beverage
Serve caviar, pate, and imported aged cheese before you head out of town. If you return home for dessert, serve petit fours, liqueurs, and gourmet coffee.
Gifts
Encourage guests to give gifts such as a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant, gourmet cooking classes, or membership in a wine club. Also appropriate would be items from the couple’s gift registry, such as white or red wine glasses, or chef’s pans. Want to go all out? Consider asking all guests to contribute to one big, themed present, such as a trip to California’s famous Napa Valley.
Carnival Theme
Set the Mood
Pick a location that combines the indoors and the outdoors; perhaps your own home, patio, or yard. Or have it at an actual carnival. Set up easy backyard carnival games like ring toss, or knocking over a stack of bottles. Have prizes the guests can win such as candy or stuffed animals.
