Wedding Shower Theme Ideas

Wedding Shower Theme Ideas Wedding showers are a great time for ladies to come around and celebrate an upcoming wedding, help the bride relax, and prepare for her wedding day. Wedding showers are typically held about a month or two before the wedding, and can be thrown by friends, family or even co-workers who want to do something special for the bride and groom before their big day. Most brides will typically have several wedding showers before their wedding. If you’re planning a wedding shower for someone, and need some help with ideas, why not come up with a great wedding shower theme? Wedding shower themes can range from the funny to the practical, and are a great way to centralize ideas for gifts, decorations, favors, and even food and games. There are tons of possibilities for wedding shower themes, that you’re only really limited by your own imagination. Here are a bunch of great ideas that I’ve found for wedding shower themes to make your wedding shower a blast.

The Pajama Wedding Shower Theme

A fun idea for wedding shower themes are pajamas. Sounds crazy, but it also sounds like fun, depending on who is on the invitation list. Ask your guests to show up in their (clean and un-slept in of course!) pajamas. Your snacks can be centered around a sleepover, such as with microwave popcorn, candy and cookies, chips and sodas. Ask your guests to bring gifts that are centered around sleeping, such as pajama sets for the bride and groom, alarm clocks, sheets, comforters, electric blankets, and anything else they can think of. Wedding showers are meant to be a time of relaxation for the bride, and this is a great idea to help her do just that!

The Pampering Wedding Shower Theme

Another great idea for wedding shower themes is to get pampered! Ask around for a local Mary Kay salesperson, or masseuse in training and ask them to come and give demonstrations and pampering to your wedding shower guests. Bring some foot spas for guests, and hire someone you know is good to give pedicures and paint nails. Be sure that all your guests understand if tips need to be given for anyone you’re bringing in. Decorate your space with calming colors and scents, use incense if you like and flowers. You can ask your guests to pitch in to cover a special pampering day for the bride, or to cover her hair and make up wedding day expenses.

The Helper Wedding Shower Theme

Okay, so I made this one up, and named it, so don’t try and find it anywhere else. I was thinking about all the stuff brides have to buy for their wedding and it got me thinking. Why not have a wedding shower theme which helps the bride collect everything she needs for her wedding reception? Instead of gifts from her wedding registry, ask the guests to supply gifts of things she will need for her wedding, such as wedding cake toppers, paper plates and napkins, cake servers, toasting glasses, a unity candle, guest book, gift certificates for the wedding invitations or programs, and even mints or wedding favors. Talk to the maid of honor to see what the bride is looking at purchasing to help you make all the right choices. The bride is sure to appreciate the help on her budget, and what a great way to save her some stress as well!

The Pet Wedding Shower Theme

If the bride has a dog or pet that they love like their own children, then you can always have a pet wedding shower theme. Invite all the guests to bring their pets. Make sure you have a pet friendly area, you can have pet and human snacks and games with pets and their owners. Ask your guests to bring pet related gifts for the bride, new collars or leashes, pet carriers, gift certificates to pet stores, and even outfits for the animals. Any pet loving bride is sure to love it.

Wedding shower themes can really be a lot of fun if you put some thought and imagination into them, and they don’t really have to cost a fortune if you do it right either. Wedding shower themes can focus on the shared interests of the couple, such as sports or hobbies, or even favorite colors. You can also find some great wedding shower themes by looking at what kind of wedding or honeymoon they’re going to have. The bride is sure to appreciate the time and effort you’re putting in, as well as have a great time!
