Wedding Shower Themes and Ideas

It has been a custom for many ages that before the wedding, family and friends would throw a bridal shower for the bride and a bachelor's party for the groom. A coed wedding shower can also be thrown for the couple. To make the shower fun and unique, it is best to come up with a theme for the party. Here are some wedding shower themes and ideas that you can use for your friends shower.

A wine-and-cheese-tasting shower is a great idea for a shower. Have a variety of wines with their labels. The guests could compare and learn which wine has the best taste. The same would go for the cheese. The guests could bring gifts like bottles of wine, wine glasses and cheese knives.

Stock-the-pantry is another great idea for a wedding shower. The guests could bring their favorite recipes on a piece of paper and bring the ingredients for the couple's pantry. The guests could also bring the finished product of the recipe for everyone to taste. Everyone will be stuffed at the end of this party. This is definitely a good choice.

A room-to-room shower is another great choice. The couple will need assistance in furnishing their new house and you can help them. You could assign guests for every room so the guests would bring gifts that could be used in the specific room they're assigned to. For example, if guests are assigned to the bathroom, then they could bring towels, soaps, et cetera.

A chocolate shower is the best for a couple who loves chocolate. You could prepare an assortment of chocolates that you know the couple and the guests would love. You could also have different dishes with chocolate in them. The guests could also bring their favorite chocolates or chocolate dishes. Chocoholics would really love this party.

You could also throw a karaoke shower if the bride and the groom both love music. You could throw this party at a karaoke bar. Guests could bring CDs with their favorite songs. Guests could also give contributions to give a group gift like an iPod or a guitar or a saxophone.

An ethnic-themed shower is a brilliant choice for a couple with a common ethnicity. You could serve the couple's traditional food and have them dance to their music. For instance, have some Chinese food for a couple with Chinese heritage. It's also great if you could have the couple and the guests come in Chinese costumes.

Another great wedding shower theme is a honeymoon shower. The theme here would celebrate the place where the couple would go for their honeymoon. The gifts that the guests could bring could be things that the couple could use on their honeymoon. If the honeymoon is on an island resort, then maybe the guests could bring bathing suits, travel cases, or custom water bottles.

Wedding shower themes and ideas never run out. Just be creative when choosing the theme and make sure that the couple and the guests would love it. Keep the party fun with some music and games. Make it memorable for everyone, particularly the bride and groom.
