Want to plan the ultimate wedding shower, but are unsure where to begin? Wedding shower ideas can range from the simple to the intricate depending on budget and whether the shower features a theme. There is no wrong way to plan a wedding shower so long as you stay true to what you want.
Theme Ideas
Themed wedding shower ideas include those that focus on a specific color scheme, such as an all-pink or light blue-themed shower. Use flatware, glassware, napkins, table cloths, food, and decorations in your chosen color, such as pink cupcakes and pink balloon bunches tied together with hot pink ribbons. Other theme shower ideas include ocean themes for brides-to-be who love all things nautical, tea party showers, sports-themed showers, and spa-themed showers.
Location Ideas
Plan your wedding shower in your place of residence if applicable. If your apartment or home is too small to accommodate a large number of people, opt for a community center or church hall. The homes of friends and family members are also options, especially if a friend or family member has a house with a spacious backyard for an afternoon tea wedding shower. Banquet halls are another option, or see about renting a private room at your favorite restaurant or club.
Invitation Ideas
Create your own invitations for your wedding shower if the event is going to be on the smaller side. Scan old photos to make a collage, or reuse denim and linens to make fabric invites. Write the necessary information on card stock and use hot glue to attach the paper to the fabric. Ordering invitations in bulk through assorted online greeting card stores is another option. Many online stores offer card customization as well.
Use these and other wedding shower ideas to plan an event you and your friends will remember for years to come.
