Bridal
shower themes
Gift basket shower
Designate each guest a room and get
them to bring a basket, box or container
filled with goodies that be of use
for that room. This allows the guest
to give a gift that will be useful
for the bride and groom.
Decorations
Place baskets all over the room filled
with nibbles. Use boxes to sit on.
Invitations
Use a piece of card with a small
hole in the top and thread through
a piece of ribbon so that it looks
like a gift tag. Write on what room
that person has got to fill a basket
for. Leave enough space for the person
to write the contents of the box onto
it and then they can attach it to
their gift.
Gift
bedroom - candles, silk pillows,
kitchen - detergents, recipe books,
cookie cutters,
bathroom - laundry basket filled with
soaps, shampoos, towel set,
lounge - ornaments, small pictures,
or a picnic basket filled with items
used for a picnic.
These might sound like strange gifts
to give but they are useful and they
won`t break the bank.
Games
and activities
Play treasure hunt where the guests
have to find an item in each room
and the winner receives a bottle of
wine.
Favours
A small basket of pot pouri.
Bathroom shower theme
Who
couldn`t do with extra towels and
bathroom accessories. The bathroom
is usually neglected compared to the
rest of a home so why not hold a bathroom
shower and give the bride and groom
a head start in their new home.
Decorations
Drape towels over the backs of chairs.
Place bowls with floating candles
in around the room. Hang soap from
rope on the window.
Invitations
Mow about a bath shape invitation
card with bubbles on. These are easy
to make from card and will save a
fortune on stationary.
Gifts
Towels, bathrobes, soap dishes, toothbrush
holders, bath mats, shower curtains,
shower caddies, bathroom scales, a
basket of toiletries.
Games
and activities
Who knows the bride best - The bride
has to fill out an info sheet on herself
(favourite food, restaurant, colour,
etc..) 20 things should be enough.
Give the same sheet to the guests
and the one that gets the most right
wins a bottle of wine.
Favours
small baskets filled with soaps, shampoos
etc.. You can usually buy sample sachets
at local markets
