Bridal Showers: Easy Ways to Throw An Amazing Bridal Shower
Forget the toilet paper wedding dresses and towel-rolled "wedding cake" centerpiece ideas -- bridal showers can be a lot more original. Here's how to plan one.
Come Up With a Theme
Let's put it this way: "Bridal shower" isn't a theme. So instead of hanging a bunch of tissue paper wedding bells and calling it a day, come up with a real theme -- it'll help make the rest of the planning decisions a cinch. Go kitschy with a '50s housewife theme party with wooden spoons, whisks, and aprons as decor; give a nod to her favorite food with a Mexican fiesta; or let something as simple as a button inspire the entire party. In the very least, let the guest of honor's favorite colors guide the details.
Get Creative with the Menu
Skip the tea sandwiches and cookies (unless of course you're having a tea party shower) and reinvent the menu. Go for Asian noodles served in takeout boxes, a Bloody Mary brunch bar with pancakes and omelets, or even a down-home barbecue buffet. It doesn't even have to be a full meal either. Start the party late in the day and do a champagne and chocolate bar or even an ice cream sundae and milkshake bar with all the fixings.
