You will have a great time at the shower no matter what, but why not make it extra special with a theme? Here are some ideas.
Tea party: Serve tea, along with finger foods such as scones, finger sandwiches, and petite fours.
Room of the house: Each guest is "assigned" a room in the house and brings a gift to be used for or in that room.
Lingerie: Guests bring the bride lingerie; a great way to stock up for the honeymoon.
Around the clock: Each guest is assigned a "time," such as breakfast time or bath time, and have to give gifts that are to be used during this time.
Ethnic theme: Plan a shower according to the bride’s heritage. The decorations, favours and food should also have an ethnic flair. For example, serve fresh fruit and tropical drinks at a Hawaiian theme wedding shower.
Christmas decoration: Guests are instructed to bring an ornament for the couple's first Christmas tree – a great idea for winter showers.
Garden party: Host a shower in a garden setting and decorate the tables with beautiful flowers. Ask guests to bring gifts that the bride can use in her garden.
Month of the year: Each guest is assigned a month of the year; this way, the bride can get seasonal gifts to be used throughout the year.
Favourite memories: Each guest brings a gift that represents their favourite times spent with the bride.
Pyjamas theme: Have guests arrive in the evening, dressed in their PJ's and spend the whole night getting manicures, pedicures, facials and massages.
Stock the pantry: Have each guest write their favourite recipe on a recipe card and bring the card, along with all non-perishable ingredients for the recipe in a box or gift basket.
Stock the bar: Similar to stock the pantry, but guests bring gifts to help the couple stock their bar.
