You don’t need to have a bridal shower theme; you can just let the day be special in and of its self. But having one can make for an interesting evening. Having a theme allows you to be more creative with decorations, menus and games.

Some theme choices for bridal shower are:

Mardi Gras

Throwing a fat Tuesday style bridal shower can be a more exciting and interesting evening. Use the trifecta of purple, gold and green to decorate the room. You can use spicy, Cajun foods on the menu and make crazy alcoholic drinks for the guests to enjoy. Ask guests to put on masks when they arrive so everyone can get into the Mardi Gras spirit.

Luaus

Luaus are another popular theme for parties. Hawaiian shirts are where, so dressing for the occasion is a breeze. And you may even get that crazy guest who will show up in a grass skirt and coconut bra top. Luaus work best at a location near water, either a pool or natural water. If anyone is an experienced smoker, you can have an old fashion pig roast. Any sort of tropical recipe will work for this buffet.

Lingerie

Hosting a lingerie bridal shower can be fun for all ladies invited. Inviting a lingerie party salesperson to attend the shower allows ladies to look at risqué lingerie in the privacy of a residence without embarrassment.

There are many bridal shower themes to choose from, depending on the size and personality of your family. Finding one that works best for your bride to be can ensure a good time for everyone attending. It also can make the entire evening mesh better. Having a theme allows connection between food, games, music and decorations, and allows greater dinner conversations.

Themes also elicit the guests into being creative with their outfits. The more inviting of a shower you plan, the greater the excitement for the upcoming nuptials.
