Creative and Unique Wedding Shower Themes

She's one of your best friends and she is getting married. Nothing will show her how much you care more than throwing a great bridal shower.

Make sure to prepare well in advance and let all of your invited guests know when the wedding shower is.

Make sure to read our article on free wedding shower games. Having a bunch of activities planned will make the day a lot more fun. Games serve as a nice ice-breaker when some or all of the guests don't know one another.

Wedding Shower Theme Idea #1 : A Fairy Tale Shower

A day in the park is as relaxing as it is wonderful. This is a great bridal shower idea for many guests when you are on a tight budget. Also, consider this idea if you have many little girls to invite - they will have a blast running around the park.


Location	A private area of your local park or your backyard.

Invitations	Purchase handmade paper and create a mid-evil crown for each guest using a cone of heavy stock paper and a tiny bit of tulle. Handwrite "A Fairy Tale Shower" on the front cover above the veil.

Menu	A decadent "Peasant's Lunch" with roasted chicken, loaves of rustic bread, a variety of cheeses, and lush, seasonal fruit. Don't forget the sparkling wine and cider!

Entertainment	A CD with early classical music. To get an idea, listen to this.

Favors	A small basket of fresh fruit, cheeses and crackers.

Accents	Wildflowers adorn picnic benches. A tent can be constructed using a lightweight fabric. Make a mid-evil bridal veil for the bride. Name cards can be made using tiny version of the bridal veil. Roll colored card stock into a cone leaving a small hole on top. Pull tulle through the hole and knot on the inside. A toothpick can be place in the hole with each maiden's name. Fairy wands for the children. Purchase wooden dowels at the hobby store. Cut out two construction paper stars and glue them together over the dowel. Apply a smear of glue and sprinkle glitter over each side. For an extra touch, print each girl's name on one side of the star

Wedding Shower Theme Idea # 2: A Day of Culture

An afternoon at the museum will leave all of your guests feeling like they have had a real experience. The key here is the guided tour. Take a small selected group and select a restaurant that fits in your budget. This party works best with adults.


Location	The downtown museum of art or culture

Invitations	Often the museum will have postcards from its upcoming or current exhibits. Ask for some and use them for the invitation to the wedding shower.

Menu	Take everyone to a small, out of the way bistro.

Entertainment	Sign up in advance for a guided tour. Later, at lunch, pass out note cards to each guest and ask them to write about their favorite piece (or least favorite piece).

Favors	A box of postcards from the current showing.

Accents	Place name cards on tiny wooden easels.

Wedding Shower Theme Idea # 3: Sunset at the Ranch

Invite all of her closest friends and family to an afternoon they will never forget. Horseback riding is a fun, inexpensive activity that most people don't do very often. This party is great for kids and adults. Remind your guests to wear appropriate footwear (the ranch will let you know what is acceptable) and a knapsack of some kind.


Location	A ranch that will take a group on a guided tour.

Invitations	Choose invites with a sunset theme or better yet, a horsee theme! Make sure to include a map to the ranch and a detailed set of instructions for what to wear and what to bring. Often, the ranch will have regulations guests must follow. Include a version of these if available.

Menu	Pack individual bag lunches of sandwiches, chips, fruit and juice. Pass out the lunches before you leave.

Entertainment	Take a guided tour of your local wilderness. Stop for lunch somewhere beautiful.

Favors	Pass out bandanas. If your budget allows, have them embroidered with the event name and date.

Wedding Shower Theme Idea # 4: A Lucky Potluck

Ask each of your guests to supply a different dish - preferably something exotic. When everyone has tasted everything, take an anonymous vote for the top three dishes. The winners take home a prize.


Location	Somewhere with a big oven, a microwave and plenty of counter space.
Invitations	Pot-luck invites are easy to find. To avoid having all deserts or all beverages, assign an entree to each guest or to a small group of guests.


Menu	Ask your guests to bring an exotic dish and serving utensils. You provide paper plates and beverages. If you are going fancy, ask your guests to bring a bottle of wine as well.

Entertainment	Go all out on the prize. Announce it on the invitations and display it prominently when the guests arrive. Since you are saving on the food and wine, get together with a few other girls and invest in a nice prize. A variation may be a panel of male judges - her future hubby, her father, his father, his best friend, etc. Let them decide which dish takes the prize.

Favors	Purchase Chinese take-out boxes and pack every one a small doggy-bag of left-overs to take home.

Accents	Create a game-show atmosphere with a brightly decorated table and colorful name-tags.
