Bridal shower themes: RP FROM BHB

Original post by Espo22

I actually posted it there thinking i was on the 08 board but hey ill probably get more ideas lol

Ok my MOH asked me for my guest list so she can check out places soon to get an idea, she likes to plan everything ahead of time and organize it lol. Anyways she had also asked me about any ideas for themes or ideas for the shower that I like...I have NOOOOO clue, what are some ideas any of you have...AND yes it will be a surprise but she wants some of my ideas

Do people usually do themes for the BS . I havent seen it. Its kinda tough to come up with a good theme for that. I guess you can do a beach theme, exotic theme, erotic/love theme, animal theme, flower theme, masquerade theme???
????????????????????????????



yeah theres TONS of themes, ive seen alot online...I like alot of them but the thing is with alot of themes guests buy things according to the theme...i would like to do the theme but guests just get us whatever off the registry lol.

I kinda like the fancy hat party lol, i was just reading it, but im guessing my shower will be in the winter, which is a few months before my wedding so having it at an outside garden type place is not going to work lol

BUT i do love the spa theme



Yeah there are prob a million themes to do, I guess I have never thought about it. You can also do a winter theme if yours is going to be in the winter, or a flapper theme, (Roaring 20's theme) or a tea party theme, come to think of it, there are tons of themes for bridal showers, I can go on and on. Your favorite designer brand theme, makeup theme, your fav color theme...



haha see theres SOOO many, i was the same though at first thinking bridal shower themes ... im just trying to see if someone throws out an idea that is different and i havent heard of.

I am so bad but I want mine to be in someone's home, in the early evening, and cocktails & hordouvers served instead, I would also love the dress code to be Sterpford Sheek Seriouslly this is what I want...

**Hint **hint to any BM that may be lurking **

I am also really excited about learning how to cook so if they requested everyone made me a cook book of fav recipes I would LOVE it!




That sounds great actually, love your idea...i cant do it in a house though bc as of now i have 70 guests and i just sent FMIL the guest list to see if i forgot anyone so who knows if it will be more.

I went to a bridal shower today at a house and it was the best shower ive been to. She has a HUGE backyard though so it was great...and yes we all had to bring a recipe with us

My mom already let the cat out of the bag that my shower is early next spring, and she wanted to know how I felt about having it @ a home my FMIL & several of my aunts live in homes large enough to accomodate my shower, estimated guestlist if all women invited to the wedding are invited is 60, which means maybe 35-40 will show.

I'm thrilled, I am dropping hints on the details I hope they are clear enough

that sounds real nice, i wish i could have it in the spring but thats not happening lol, it will have to be between jan-march. See im just afraid if most invited guests showed up...bc for the shower you invite closest family and friends and they usually show up...like even yesterday at the shower i went to, i know of only 2 ppl who didn't come. I think im just afraid of that lol

i guess tell everyone to dress up in cocktail dresses or something sex in the city inspired. Serve cosmo's, martini's and those type of drinks...play sex and the city type games...i know theres more bc ive seen online a sex and the city shower and cant remember all the details

I have no clue, like you - but I think it is really nice of your MOH to care so much about your input! I never even really thought about a theme for a shower. I think everyone I've ever been to has pretty much been the same.



yeah its hard to think of themes for showers...i think she wants to make it a bit different and not the typical just sit eat, then open gifts most of the party. I have seen some themes, i know recently a girl at work went to a shower they did this hats and tea party theme. They all wore big extravagant hats, and had it at this garden type place and did this really cute theme.

Ive also seen a spa bridal shower, where you can also get messages and different treatments

yeah shes better than i am at these things lol...she was saying the other day how she has a book with color scheme, ideas, places and a bunch of other things lol



That is what my mother is doing. A French tea party. We got little shoes and hats and woman dressed up in old French style holding funny signs about love and marriage, like, my husband is allergic to the cat, so I have to get rid of him' I love the idea... I can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

I just went to a BS and it was sooo gorgeous! I felt like i was on the titanic haha, everyone was in ball room gowns, and you had to wear either a big hat, white gloves or pearls... I personally went with the white gloves and pearls because well I look horrendous with a hat haha, but I loved it I wish I could do that for mine!

ummm.. these are all great ideas! I am a big coffe drinker so I was thinking about a coffee theme. Maybe a starbucks theme or even just serve tons of different kinds of coffees.
