“Royal Tea Lights” Jeweled Tea Lights (Set of Four Prince or Four Princess)

Don’t know what to get a bride to be who has everything they need? Are you stuck on ideas for a bridal shower for someone who has it all? Then why not make her a “queen for a day”? This theme is for the bride to be who doesn’t need the normal gifts.

Invitations for this shower can be a simple invite stating what the party is about, location, items to bring, etc…however, you could make the invitation relative to the theme by creating one similar to those from the old days that Kings and Queens sent. The invitation could say something like “Here Ye, Here Ye! The maid of honor requests your presence for a lovely shower for (bride’s name) as she will be crowned ‘Queen for the Day’.”

Decorations could be set up that match the color of the wedding or if possible, depending on where you have the shower, try to set up everything to look like a room from a castle including a throne (use a chair that’s tall and decorate it with ribbons) and crown. Food for the shower would be specific to the ‘queen’, as it’s her day and gifts could be items such as a spa package or expensive chocolate.

If you want to treat that special woman like the queen she is, then this theme is for you!

Save the Date Vines Magnets

Tradition shows that most bridal showers are geared towards women…this is a time when the bride to be is surrounded by friends and family who dish out advice, whether good or bad, and a time when women can get together to talk about everything. It’s rare that you see men at a bridal shower (unless they were dragged to it!) because most men believe that bridal showers are just for women…well not anymore. In this modern day and age, bridal showers are not only geared towards women, but men too, as some showers are now co-ed. If you’re thinking of having a co-ed bridal shower, then try the “Jack and Jill” theme!

Invitations for this type of theme can be anything you want. You could have invitations that have a mix of masculine and feminine touches…flowers on the outside of the card and when opened, have sports memorabilia as a border around the invitation information, is one example.

Decorations could have masculine and feminine touches also…deep colors mixed with soft pastels or miniature cars with butterflies, anything is possible.

If the weather is beautiful, have your shower outside…a barbeque is a great way to have a co-ed shower, as it is something everyone will enjoy. A limbo contest, horseshoe toss, and volleyball are some of the games that everyone could play.

If you’re looking for something that everyone, even men, will enjoy, then this theme is for you!

Save the Date Custom Magnet Shadow Box Cards with Envelopes- Heart (Set of 12)

Marriage is a big step in one’s life…moving from girlfriend and boyfriend to husband and wife. The first year of marriage is a nice one for newlyweds, as everything seems new and fresh…want to have a shower that the couple will always remember? Then have a “First Year of Marriage” theme. The basis of this theme is for the couple to have a gift for each month of the year.

You don’t have to have extravagant invitations for this theme…a simple white invitation will work or if you want, you can have the invitations in the color(s) of the wedding. In the invitation, give each guest a specific month; if you know there will be more than twelve guest at the shower, try to get the gift list so there are not any duplicate gifts (if the bride to be has a wish list, this will work even better).

Decorations can be simple or if you want to do something more, then do so…flowers and balloons will work or if you could decorate with something from each month to set the theme, that would be even better. Food can be finger sandwiches, meat, cheese, and veggie trays, some cookies, etc. If the weather is nice and you can have your shower outside, you could barbeque or you could have your food catered. If possible, have a cake made into a calendar to represent the first year of marriage.

Games of all sorts could be played at this theme…you could have the bride guess how old the groom was when he did certain things (i.e. ride a bike, first kiss, tied his shoes, etc.). For party favors, you could give each guest a small gift for the month that they had.

If you want to have a theme that whenever the couple looks at a certain item, they remember where they got it, then try this theme.

A Formal Affair  Dress and Tuxedo Favor Boxes (Set of 24)

Do you remember playing with paper dolls when you were a kid?

Well now you don’t have to wonder with a “Paper Doll” theme.

Since this theme revolves around paper, so should your invitations of course…if it’s possible, handcraft your invitations with cut outs of paper dolls. If you can’t do this, then regular invitations will be okay (if you can find some with a picture of a doll or silhouette of a woman on them would be great). For decorations, have all types of paper products…paper streamers, bells, machete, anything you can think of that’s made out of paper (don’t forget the plates and napkins).

You could have “paper thin” treats, such as crepes, thin mints, lettuce wraps, anything that could be considered “paper thin”. For games, you could have the guest go into teams and have them create the bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses out of shredded paper (the type you can get from offices, banks, etc.) and have the bride wear it.
