Surprise the Bride with Fun Bridal Shower Gifts

As we enjoy the bridal shower favors that we have received right after the bridal shower or bachelorette or hen party, we also expect that the bride should enjoy the fun gifts which she has received from us. And how can we elicit this kind of reaction from our friend who is getting married? Of course, we should also provide gifts which we are sure she would definitely enjoy and cherish. And as we think about something which the bride can really make use of and be delighted upon receiving it, we should also take into consideration if it will suit her as a married woman already. To give you some pointers on what to give as a gift, here are some fun bridal shower gift ideas which you can base upon:

Tool Belt. Well, this kind of belt may not belong to the fashion world and might just bring a sour face to the bride, but moments later, she will definitely realize that she will certainly need it once the hubby asks for her help with the chores in the house. This kind of tool belt will consist of all the brushes intended for cleaning, or anything which will be useful in aiding the hubs in cleaning or fixing something inside their love nest.

Jewelleries. Jewelleries will definitely make the bride swoon if ever she will be presented with it during the bridal shower. You may give her something which she can wear on the wedding day, or something which carries a symbol of love or prosperity or happiness. She may also be much happier if she will receive a piece which could represent her “something blue” on the wedding day. Another fun piece of jewellery which the bride would totally love is the “his and her” pieces such as necklaces which says “MRS.” while the other says “MR.”

Intimate Apparel. Well, this kind of present kind of sounds like cliché already but lingerie is definitely a classic and timeless kind of gift to the bride. This will add enjoyment to the party if the bride should be allowed to open her presents during the bridal shower. Everyone should enjoy teasing the bride as she opens one by one the apparel that she will receive from the guests. 

Personalized T-shirts. If it happened to be a surprise party for the bride and she has not dressed up for the occasion, this personalized tee will be perfect for her to wear all throughout the party. Anything can be printed on the shirt such as “Future Mrs. Surname-of-the-Groom” or if you are teasing her, a “Bridezilla” print can be put on the tee. 

Any gift will definitely make the bride happy, but if we add something extra special on the thing which we will give to her, that would more delight her. The fun part which we may attach to our gifts will add liveliness to the party and will definitely not bore anyone.

How Would You Like An Edible Centerpiece for the Bridal Shower Party?

Other gals who are celebrating a bridal shower may experience something like spa parties or something which they would just all stand in the dance floor or just be anywhere in the venue. But there are bridal shower parties’ coordinators which would opt for a standard one wherein there will be tables in the venue for the guests to have a seat and relax in there while enjoying the whole celebration. And of course, when there are tables, there should be a centrepiece to accentuate the whole look. And since it is a party, and what kind of party will that be without food? Why not make your centrepieces edible? Not bad, right? Here are a few ideas which you may consider to put in your bridal shower party tables:

A Bunch of Fruits. Who doesn’t want to look at fruits? The powerful colors, the sweet smell of different fruits will absolutely delight each guest who is seated in the table. Why not put some berries in a cake platter or fruit tray at the center of each table? While sitting in their designated tables, each female guest will be able to munch on to something. That will not even be ignored by someone who avoids unhealthy food because a fruit will suit her pretty well. 

Cupcake Tiny Towers. As this would only just be a centrepiece in each table for the guests, you can put mini-towers of cupcakes which the guests would be happy to eat. Cupcakes are really pretty things ever created, so making them as centrepiece in every table during the bridal shower party will never ever hurt. Put the cupcakes in pretty boxes complete with the wedding theme’s colors, not only will the guests enjoy it, but the bride herself will definitely like it also. These boxed cupcakes will also be perfect as your bridal shower favors!

Bowls of Candies. The bridal shower guests will not only have instant access to short desserts and sweets but, a bowl of candies at the center of each table is purely an awesome centrepiece decoration. We all know that candies come in such pretty colors, so what more can you ask more from that? Candies will definitely rock each bridal shower guest’s sweet tooth! 

Bread and Cheese. For an appetizer, you can form a circle of plates, each with bread and cheese in it. That’s a refreshing way to adorn your tables. Choose plates which are in fun colors, too, because that will surely add beauty to your chosen centrepiece. The girls will be delighted to find an appetizer prepared for them as they will come and sit on their designated tables.

A Wine in a Bucket. The girls will totally adore this style of centrepiece. If you want to serve wine during the bridal shower party, why not put a chilled one on a bucket already in the middle of each table? At the base of the bucket, you can also put satin cloths to make it look more appealing and elegant.

Prepare a Vegetarian Bridal Shower for the Vegetarian Bride

Being a vegetarian is not already unusual these days. There are a lot of people especially the women who are going vegan because of its positive effect on Earth and of course on their own health. Now, if you are among the group of girls who are currently planning a special bridal shower for your friend or sister who is getting married and is a vegetarian, you won’t be turning to other themes because the vegetarian way can be your guide in preparing for the shower.  With that, you can even have your bridal shower favors earth-friendly and of course, the food. So, to guide you of what to prepare for the girls to munch on but not make them go “eww” with the taste, here are some food tips you can go with:

Fruits. Although it’s a vegetarian diet, fruits definitely belong to the raw vegan foods. Choose fruits that are with seeds because those which do not have seeds are genetically modified. So, as standard bridal parties just require some finger foods or light ones, fruits will definitely be adored by the guests. If there will be guests who are not vegetarians, they will definitely turn to fruits. Prepare some strawberries, or grapes, or kiwi fruits, or apples which can also pass as finger foods. 

Vegetables. Have you ever heard of tempura vegetables? Well, that would really delight your guests especially the bride. Make a sauce or dressing that would go pretty well with your tempura. Any vegetable will surely taste better when they’re being coated with flour and being fried, of course, on vegetarian oil such as flax seed or sunflower seed oil. Finger foods such as carrot sticks and sliced cucumbers will also add to the vegetable variety on the food table.

Nuts. Anyone will be happy with a lot of bowls of nut everywhere during the bridal shower party. Almonds, cashew nuts, and macadamia nuts are among the best nuts that will add to the group of bridal shower foods that you will prepare for the guests and for the bride herself. Nuts will also be best especially if there will be some alcoholic drinks which will add up to the enjoyment of the party.

Drinks. You can make fresh fruit juices for everyone or smoothies which you can blend. These are really healthy drinks that will benefit everyone and will stick with the vegetarian theme of the bridal shower. Avocado shake is among the many fruit shakes which will win the heart of everyone in the bridal shower party.

DIY Projects to Decorate on a Bridal Shower

Planning a bridal shower for your friend who is getting married? You want it to just be simple but totally fun for the guests who will come and for the bride of course. But you are out of idea on how to beautify the venue. Venues can be a hotel room, a resort, a commercial place, or your own home. Along with the other bridal shower preparations such as bridal shower favors, the food, or the activities, the decorations in the venue will definitely play significant roles in beautifying the place, especially that they will also serve as backdrop for photos which you will be taking during the bridal shower.

Here are a few of the many DIY ideas which may lessen the load of the things which you have been thinking of for the bridal shower:

Hanging Paper Pompoms 

Pretty balls of papers everywhere in the bridal shower venue will definitely make some cool ornaments of the place. Aside from the fact that papers are inexpensive, you can definitely make them by yourself. You can stack 5-10 papers and fold them altogether in accordion style with an inch wide. After you have folded the papers, stick a wire at the middle to make a tiny hole and that wire will be the one to which you will tie a string afterwards to hang the paper pompoms. After you have made a hole and tied the wire, you can separate the layers of paper one by one to make a pompom ball. These paper pompoms will also be perfect for the flower girls to bring with them during the wedding ceremony.

Hanging Lighted Mason Jars 

If the bridal shower was planned to happen in a garden and you will be celebrating it at night time, hanging mason jars will be perfect decorations for the occasion. Just tie a beautiful ribbon or any string of your choice around the neck of the jar and put a candle inside it and hang them to the trees. When the party is about to start, you can light the candles for a beautiful scenery. You can also stick glitters around the jars for a much amazing presentation. Mason jars are very versatile; they can even become wedding favors containers for edible favors to be given out to guests. These hanging lighted mason jars will also be perfect for a garden wedding ceremony at night and for wedding receptions.

Balloons and Ribbons 

The easiest thing to do in making the venue more fun and lovely is to put balloons everywhere. In an indoor venue, helium-inflated balloons can be adorned in it. You can also choose balloons which coordinate with the bride’s motif. Of course, along with the balloons, you can tape ribbons at the ceiling to make the place look like ready to be partied on. Combined colors of balloons and ribbons will also be perfect in adorning the place.
