Bridal shower- A gift giving ceremony organized for the
bride to be before her wedding. Generally the bridal shower party is organized
by the bridesmaid and close friends but now days even the in-laws of the brides
have started to organize bridal shower for the lovely bride.
Being the bridesmaid it your duty to make this day the best
and the most memorable day of her life . to help you in this I have few ideas
that might come handy while organizing the bridal shower.
One can always go in for various fun themes like Hawaiiian theme or Caribbean theme but I personally like
a classy and elegant flavor in the party. Going in for some solid color theme or
any floral theme
Classic Pink theme
A particular color theme is very simple but it should be
carefully implemented as over doing it can ruin the complete look of the party.
A simply classic pink theme looks very feminine and nice. Having a pink theme doesn’t mean we
put everything pink, for nice look we compliment pink by combining it with a base
color like white.
Decoration:
Room decoration:
For the room decoration pink nice pink and white balloons and
crape paper.
Table decoration:
For the table pick a either a solid white color table cloth
or a very light soft pink table cloth and put up a nice centerpiece and add on
some ribbon detailing like a thin ribbon bow on d spoons.
with a little creativity these curling ribbons can also be
used for adding detailing to your decorations
Table ware:
Drink Glasses:
For serving drinks to your guests use these nice clear
glasses which look elegant and gives a nice classic feel.
Cutlery:
Use nice pink color plates ,glasses, napkins, spoons and
forks for serving the lunch to your guests.
To reduce the pain of collecting all the above things I found
this kit which provides you with most of the things.
Cosmic black and white theme
My favorite theme. Since black and white are my favorite
colors and they look very elegant and classic at the same time.
Decoration
Under this theme put on nice printed balloons and tie them
with curling ribbons as plain black and
white gives it a dull look to the decorations. With this color scheme not much
of decorations should be done.
Table decoration:
As above idea u can have spoons with ribbon bow on them and
for the centerpiece keep a glass with white flower sitting.
Table ware:
For serving drinks go for these clear glasses.
Cutlery
For the cutlery go for nice elegant plates and glasses.
Nobody wants their guest to leave soon. If they do then its
obvious your party could not make them stick to their seats. So for making your
party a hit take the help of few interesting games.
Games
The Gist: A way to put the bride in the hot seat.
How to Play: Before the bridal shower, interview the groom
and ask him questions about the bride and their relationship: "Where was your
first kiss?" "What's his most annoying habit?" Then at the
shower, ask the bride the same questions and see if she can answer correctly.
To get the full effect, record video footage of the groom's answers and play
back his responses to each question for everyone to see and hear (allow a pause
between questions.)
The Gist: A just-for-fun idea for a lingerie shower
How to Play: On the invites, ask each guest to bring
underwear or lingerie gifts that matches their personality and style. Hang a
clothesline across the room and have everyone hang their underwear on as they
arrive. The bride-to-be then has to guess who each lingerie gift is from. At
the end of the day, she goes home with a new panty wardrobe!
The Gist: It's the purse version of scavenger hunt
How to Play: Before the shower, create a list of standard
items you might have in your purse -- start with the basics (a compact, credit
cards, keys) and work your way up to more random or risqué objects (condoms,
dog treats). The host calls out the items on the list and the first guest to
pull the object from their purse wins a small prize, We love the idea of giving
out the bride's favorite things, like books or movies, beauty products or baked
goods.
