Around the Clock Shower
Megan
The idea is that when you send out the invitations, assign everyone a time of day (this theme works best with small showers) The guest is then asked to bring a gift that relates to that time of day. For example - if someone is assigned 11 am, she might give breakfast in bed trays or a waffle maker. Likewise, if she gets 10 pm she might give a popcorn popper or free movie rentals. This was a lot of fun - and you can ask the bride to try and guess the time of day as she opens the presents.
Garden Theme
Sarah
Great for the bride who loves gardening! You can have it outdoors on a patio at someone's home or at a restaurant. This creates instant decoration in keeping with the theme: a green setting. Getting gifts for a garden themed party is easy: garden clogs, books, herb-kits, potted plants, trowel, anything with flowers on it, vases, etc... are all appropriate.
Wine and Party Theme
Leighann
The theme at my shower is going to be "wine and party items". It includes bottles of wine, and objects used for a party, like cheese boards and knives, cake pans, picnic basket (my favorite), food trays. All the things I need when I marry into my fiancé's HUGE Italian family.
Candlelight Dessert Shower
Holy
The shower I hosted was in the evening. I decorated with lots and lots of candles, white lights, tulle, and roses. Very elegant and romantic. I played classical music, and kept the lights down low. To keep with the romantic theme it was also a lingerie shower!!
Around the House Shower
Shelley, Milwaukee WI
Similar to the Around the Clock shower, we are having an " Around the House" shower as the main bridal shower.
And as a co-ed shower, we are having a gift certificate shower. We cannot wait to have both of them!
