Tips For Throwing The Perfect Bridal Shower
Bridal showers are a great way for the bride and her bridesmaids to bond and spend some quality time together before the big day. Help the bride unwind and relieve some of that wedding planning stress with a fun bridal shower. Products With Personality wants to help you throw a wonderful bridal shower! Typically, the maid of honor throws the shower, but in the modern world all of the bridesmaids and even other family and friends who are invited to the wedding can help.Tip 1: Pick a theme
The easiest way to plan a bridal shower is by first choosing a theme. Does the bride-to-be love the beach and relaxing in the sunshine? Then go for a Beach Bridal Shower theme. If the shower is in the summer, you may even want to opt for a casual shower and spend a relaxing day at the beach or the pool. If a soothing spa is more her style, choose a spa theme complete with Monogrammed Cosmetic Bags as an extra gift for your guests. Other themes include different color schemes, lingerie, and garden parties!
Tip 2: Plan It!
After you choose a theme for the party, you’ll need to find invitations to match and send them off to your guests. Be sure to include the date of the party, time, and venue. The bride will most likely be busy planning the wedding, so try to plan as much of the bridal shower as you can. If you need help with the guest list, ask her close relatives and fiancé for ideas.

Tip 3: Decorations
A bridal shower isn’t complete without the right decorations. Whichever theme you chose for the shower, be sure your decorations match. Don’t go overboard with decorations – keep it simple! If you’re planning a spa party and having it at someone’s home, simply place floating candles in large bowls of water around the room, and dim the lights slightly for a calming effect. Tiki torches are perfect for outdoor beach parties, and a chocolate fountain completes any chocolate themed bridal shower!
Tip 4: Game Time
Keep the bridal shower fun and exciting by having your guests play games. Typical bridal shower games include:
- “Toilet Paper Game” - Guests divide into teams and dress up a person in a toilet paper wedding dress. Whoever makes the best dress wins!
- To Tell The Truth – Have each guest introduce herself and tell three things about herself. However, two of these things should be true, and one a lie. The other guests should then guess which is the lie, and whoever guesses correctly wins!
- My Better Half – There are tons of famous couples: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Romeo and Juliet, Fred and Wilma Flintstone, etc. Without her seeing it, place a name tag on each guest’s back with one half of a real-life or fictional couple on it. Then, have the guests walk around and ask each other questions about their secret identity, such as “Am I a real life person?” or “Am I a man or woman?”. They then need to find their other half, and the first couple to do so wins!
You may have heard that a great party is all in the details. It’s true – it’s often not about the venue of the bridal shower or what gifts the bride received, both the guests and the bride will remember the small, personal touches that you added to the bridal shower.
