Here Comes the Bride: 4 Fun Themes for the Perfect Bridal Shower

My sister and bridesmaids threw my bridal shower at a local restaurant that my family loves. It was incredibly special, especially since all of my family was there and it's very rare for all of us to be together. My wonderful sister actually made mini three tier cakes for every guest to take home, complete with tiny fondant flowers. She also created beautiful earrings for each guest. She put so much hard work and love into my shower, and a few years later put the same amount of effort into my lovely baby shower. Her boyfriend recently told me that he is planning to propose, so I can't wait to make her bridal shower just as special as she made mine.

My mom and sister-in-laws threw my bridal shower. It was a complete suprise. I got alot of stuff that I need for the house and had all my family and friends there. They play a purse game and some regular games. Nothing to big or expensive.

They almost didn't get me to my surprise bridal shower. My fiance kept using the excuse of dropping of the Usher's tie . I was dressed to go bowling and said he could do that some other time.. I gave him a very difficult time about it. Not sure how he finally got me to agree to stop there first, but it was a huge surprise. The hostess was so worried that I would never make it. She also later gave me a baby shower, but said that in no way would she even consider it being a surprise.

My future DIL's shower was outstanding! Her name is Tiffany so the theme of the shower was the "Spirit of Tiffany's" We all wore our best little Black Dresses and her parents house was all decorated with Tiffany's memorabilia. Everything was black, white and teal with lots of jewels, beads, glitz and glamour. It was so well themed and a very special day for Tiffany.

At my daughter's shower we had a blast. We played the "gum game" and everybody laughed so hard. You bring lots of gum.....you ask the groom ahead of time the list of questions. The object is to see how well the bride really knows the groom. Every question she missed she had to put a piece of gum in her mouth....well the questions were hard on purpose.....It was so funny to see her with a HUGE chunk of gum and still trying to talk!.....some people hate shower games, nobody at this shower was not enjoying themselves.

I went to a bridal shower last Spring and I think it was the most fun of them all. There was a 'Mexican theme' food, music. There were little dollar store gifts on all the tables for everyone who came. We played fun games like- 'who knows the bride the best', a favorite :)

My mom threw my bridal shower at her house. It was simple. We played the toilet paper wedding dress game and did bridal party bingo. Guests were family from both sides and friends. My favorite gift was from my aunts - it was a laundry basket with all sorts of games, kitchen gadgets and accessories... all of the gift, including the wrapping (laundry basket and dishtowel bows) was usable as well, and it was easy to carry! My favorite memory was that one of my friends got me an adult gift and we had to explain to one of my aunts what it was used for... priceless!

Instead of having a shower, I asked people to donate to a few of my favorite charities.

I went to a fun bridal shower where the host had us break into teams and create a wedding dress out of toilet paper. It was hilarious and a lot of fun!

I just threw a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law. I threw a brunch with several main course options, a few sweets and veggies. I rushed home on Friday to clean the house frantic I wouldn't be able to have everything done before Sat. morning came. Since it was a brunch, it was early. I got up as early as possible to cook and clean and get our family ready for guests. I was still pulling things out of the oven and sliding them on dishes when the guests arrived. Thank goodness the other bridesmaids arrived to help out. I was able to curl my hair and slap on make-up before people arrived. It was such a rush, but well worth it. A brunch means an early party, but everyone loved it because they had the rest of their Sat. open and it didn't cut their day or prevent them from making plans for afterward. Plus, I had all day to recouperate!

I didn't have a real shower. I had a cake and a few family members came over and we just huung out and ate.

I am having a little mermaid shower in a month sincebwe are getting matried on a boat and i love the movie. I live out of state though, so each guest will bring a special spice in lieu of a large gift!

My mom threw me the BEST bridal shower! It was a complete surprise. She swiped my phone and called my friends and my fiance's family members to invite them. On the day of the shower, she invited me to go to dinner at this fun little Mexican restaurant. When I showed up, the whole back room was FILLED with my friends and family and my fiance's family too. I was shocked but it was a lot of fun too. The best part was that my fiance got to stay and enjoy the fun too. =D

Play MadLibs at the shower- you can make them up yourself to make them wedding-themed or a bit you know, risque'! ;) You can go around the room to let everyone give a word and then read it out loud. Almost always hilarious!

While planning for my girlfriends wedding, original game plan was to send the couple to Hawaii for their honeymoon but soon found out it was less expensive to buy a package and send the whole bridal party than send just the bride and groom. Spent a week in Hawaii and a special evening at a luau to celebrate the couple.
