Bridal Showers
If your looking to throw a unique bridal shower, themed
showers have become very popular in recent years. If your looking for ideas try one or two
of the following possibilities.
Lingerie/Personal
Personal Showers are a lot of fun. Gifts usually include personal items of lingerie that
people don't seem to buy for themselves. A bride needs to have every part of her
trousseau, and that espesially includes lingerie for the honeymoon. Gifts may include sexy
underwear, bras, lacy nightgowns, camisoles or a silky robe. Other personal items include
lotions, bath salts, perfume, or a basket full of massage gifts. Check out this lingerie site for more gift
ideas for the bride and groom.
Kitchen Showers
This is a great co-ed. shower. There are several companies that will help in hosting a
kitchen theme shower. The Pampered Chef and Tupperware are the most popular. Gift ideas
become endless and can range from large appliances to the inexpensive kitchen utensils. A
fun idea for this shower is to have each guest bring a favorite recipe with a gift that
will help prepare the recipe.
Shower Ideas
In order to avoid the possibilities of duplicate gifts, it's important that a bride and
groom register at 2 or more department or home furnishing stores. This helps your guest
pick out the right colors or theme you are planning to use in your new home. Another way
to eliminate duplicate gifts is to assign each shower guest to buy a gift for a specific
room in your new home.
The highlight of the shower is opening the gifts. Have a seat specially prepared for the
bride. Either her maid of honor or the hostess should sit next to her to record who gave
each gift; this helps the bride when she's writing thank-you notes. A new way to do this
is to use instant photos. Have the bride pose with each guest and her opened gift. The
record-keeper can write the guest's name and a description of the gift on the back of each
photo. Later, the photos make a great keepsake for the bride or a lovely token to include
with each thank-you note.
