Ideas for Theme Wedding Showers
Great Theme Showers
A shower needs no theme other than to celebrate the upcoming marriage of a couple. Sometimes, however, a hostess narrows or custom-designs the focus of a shower (often after discussions with the bride regarding the wedding couple's needs) to a certain theme. Guests are then expected to bring gifts related to that theme, and the hostess may even provide theme-related food and decorations. Ideas for themes are limitless. Some choices, and suggested gifts are as follows:
|
Kitchen Shower |
Glasses, knives, linens, utensils |
|
Spa Shower |
Massage certificates, aromatherapy oils, candles, robes |
|
Honeymoon Shower |
Travel clock, sewing kit, first aid kit, travel book |
|
Leisure Time Shower |
Movie tickets, boards games, videos, CDs, cocktail glasses, napkins |
|
Gourmet Cook Shower |
Gourmet foods and wines, utensils, cookbooks |
|
The Great Outdoors Shower |
Badminton set, flower seeds and gardening tools, picnic basket, Japanese lanterns, croquet set |
|
Happy Holidays Shower |
Decorations for every holiday of the year |
|
Recipe Shower |
Guests are given recipe cards to record their favorites, and these cards are collected at the party and put into a recipe box provided by the hostess. At some recipe showers, guests may even prepare one of their recipes. |
|
Labor of Love Shower |
Promises, not gifts are brought to this shower where friends pledge to paint, wallpaper, garden, or donate their talents in any number of ways. |
