After attending countless bridal showers, are you looking for a way to shower the bride and groom in a fun and unique way? Here are some ideas, even ones great for couple showers. If you have an idea you would like to share, we would love to hear from you!

  • Stock the Bar: Great for a couple shower. Assign each a different drink and let them provide the couple with the ingredients for that drink as well as appropriate glassware, bar tools, etc.  You can also just let the guests know of the Stock the Bar theme and let them be creative on their own. Serve up a signature cocktail for the couple and pair with yummy appetizers.
  • Tool & Garden:Again, a perfect theme for a couple shower. Make sure the couple is registered at Home Depot, Smith & Hawken, Lowe’s and the like. It is great theme for the couple who has just bought their first home. You can even assign each guest with an area of the home such as “garage”, “vegetable garden”, “deck”, etc. Have a casual BBQ for the guests.
  • Kitchen Shower with a  twist: We all know of the traditional kitchen shower, but tie it with a cooking class. Either bring a chef to the home or have the shower at a cooking school.
  • Alphabet Shower: Each guest is given a letter of the alphabet and find gift items that start with that letter.
  • Honeymoon Shower:With the bride and groom’s time caught up in wedding planning, give them one less thing to think about by helping them get prepared for their honeymoon. If they are jet set for Hawaii, make it a Luau theme. Guests could bring items such as beach towels, “Mr.” and “Mrs.” visors, sunscreen, Rhinestone studded “Just Married” swimsuit, etc. If they are hitting the sky slopes in Aspen, light the fire, serve hot chocolate and have guests bring items for this ski-bound couple. Big ticket items multiple guests could purchase together include a new camera or luggage.
