How to Plan a Unique Bridal Shower: Part 1
When you are first planning a unique bridal shower it can be a bit overwhelming. Therefore the first step is to get organized and create a chronological list of everything you need to create the perfect bridal shower.
To start you will want to compile a list of unique bridal shower themes. These can be simple or extravagant, traditional or unconventional, whimsical or elegant. It can really be as creative as you want to make it, however remember that it should reflect the brides sense of style and personality. Some examples of bridal shower themes can be based off of their favorite movie or TV show, beach them, western theme, Victorian theme, or whatever you want it to be.
Remember that the theme is the back bone of the entire event. It should be used as a guide for everything from location to the food you serve. Also make sure that your theme is not too extravagant as to go over budget. You can have very creative home bridal shower for minimal costs. Here are a few things to factor into your budget:
The Venue: After you have decided on a unique bridal shower theme you should pick out a venue to match. This is dependent on the budget. I like home hosted showers because you can decorate it to whatever theme you like, however there are certain venues that will really bring your theme to life. For example if you are having an Alice in Wonderland theme, a garden would be the perfect setting for a Mad Hatter Tea Party. Or if you are having a Gone with the Wind theme, a Southern style restaurant or a plantation style venue would be ideal.
The Invitations: Next you would have to choose the invitations. The invitations should match the theme of the bridal shower. You should also match the wording of your invitation to match the bridal shower theme if applicable. For example if you are having a roaring 20’s theme you could invite the guests to a “speakeasy” and include the password for entrance in the invitation.
