Christmas Theme
Anna, Lewisville, TX
Host a Christmas Shower...this works really well if the wedding date is around Christmas. Have all the guests bring crafts or decorations for the bride and groom. You can also have them throw in one of their favorite Christmas/Holiday time recipes.

Everyone brings an ornament that reminds them of the couple along with a Christmas themed gift.
Home Accents Shower
Stacy, Raleigh, NC
My favorite shower was a home accents shower (candles, picture frames, etc). It was hosted by my mom's best friend, who has a gorgeous pool and deck. It was a champagne brunch with swimsuits being a requirement! It sure was nice floating in the pool for three hours with a mimosa in hand after MONTHS of planning and stress!! No games - just lots of gossiping and laughter!
Jack and Jill Showers
Nancy, TX
Co-ed wedding showers are for both the bride and the groom (sometimes called Jack and Jill showers). We didn't want to leave any of our friends out by having a female-only shower for me. Entertainment doesn't have to include shower games; you can have the same type of entertainment you'd have at any other party.
One of our showers was a Sunday brunch, and we ended up playing board games after lunch and the gift-opening. My sister's co-ed shower was a pool party and barbecue. One of my friend's co-ed showers had Mexican food; we sat on the back deck and drank margaritas while watching the sun go down. I've observed that a mix of sexes usually makes for good conversation and a relaxed atmosphere that I didn't get at some of the all-female showers I've attended.
Also, every co-ed shower I've attended didn't have a specific theme, which made for less pressure for guests to select a gift. Wedding registry information was included on the invitations.
Travel Theme

A "travel" theme is great for couples who travel on a regular basis. Gift options are endless. Picture frames and photo albums are great for pictures taken during their travels. Luggage, backpacks, travel alarm clock, compass, hats, a travel "emergency" kit - sewing kit, first-aid kit, etc., travelers checks, maps, a subscription to a travel related magazine, etc. Postcards make great bridal shower invitations.
