My mom and I are planning a bridal shower for my brother’s fiancee. My own shower had a theme of “Around the Clock”, where guests brought gifts that corresponded with something that I would be use at that time of the day.
But we’re stuck on what to do as a theme for the shower. Her mother throws fabulous tea parties, so that is out. We’re planning on having it on a Saturday afternoon in May.
So, what was the best themed shower that you have been to?
From the Bridal Shower Wiki here are some popular ones:
* Tea party
* Kitchen
* Recipe
* Lingerie
* Scrapbook
* Stock the bar
* Wine and cheese
* Slumber Party
* Spa
* Around the Clock
* Naughty & Nice
* Luau
* Honeymoon
What about a garden party theme? Not exactly sure what this would incorporate, but you could serve Pimm’s cups — very english garden partyish.

If I ever have shower to throw, I’m going straight there because there’s lots of great inspiration.
Can’t wait until we can edit our blog comments!
Here’s some great themes and decor ideas: http://www.hostesswiththemostess.com/themes/bridal_showers
Well, if it is the first Saturday in May that of course is the Derby. You could do an “Off to the Altar” sort of theme with everyone wearing and/or making their best Derby inspired hat. Don’t forget the mint juleps!
I’m biased, but the “shower with a twist” cocktail party that my ladies threw for me was pretty awesome 
Does she have any specific interests or hobbies? I’m really hopping for a kitchen themed shower since Mr.D and I like to cook a lot. All the showers I’ve been to were themeless, so I’m of little help 
good luck!
Chosing one room in a house to outfit is generally a good idea because then the bride at least has one full set of stuff.
My shower was this past weekend, and we had a bird & spring theme that was so cute! I’ll be posting details in the next couple of days.
My cousin is going to throw me a dessert shower and I can’t wait.
Also my aunt just threw a wine tasting party for my cousin.
I threw my sister an entertainment themed shower, but that was more the suggestion for the gifts. My sis and my bil wanted things tickets and gc to local places or even games for them to play in their new place. We just had snacky foods and played bingo and bridal scattegories, it was a blast.
My shower is next weekend! They told me all they are doing a black/white theme…asking the guests to wear black/white…decor..etc…its a way for everyone to participate in the shower! Im really looking forward to it!
Breakfast is Sister Bruschetta’s favorite meal, so we held a breakfast-themed shower (in the afternoon, though) complete with a DIY waffle station and homemade smoothies.
how about monograms? guests can bring gifts with the new couples monograms!
how about monograms? guests can bring gifts with the new couples monograms! “Monograms and Mimosas”
maybe something inspired from their honeymoon? Beach theme or italian theme or tapas theme? I know theme showers are fun but I also have a soft spot for the classic shower, potluck and t.p dresses!:)
Are they going on a honeymoon? I saw on Hostess with the Mostess that they did a bridal shower based on the fact that the couple was honeymooning in Italy … and her favourite colour was yellow! So they had lots of sunflowers, delicious antipasti platters, and the main course as … gourmet pizza! Yum - you can read all about it here: http://www.hostessblog.com/2009/01/real-parties-under-the-tuscan-sun-bridal-shower/
I was just about to write this when I saw Linzerella’s comment above. My shower was based on my honeymoon location (part of it was in Italy as well)…my sister & mom decked things out with a fun Euro/Italian theme (vintage Italian almost). Plus, it was at a very classy italian restaurant in the Chicago area, so it helped set the theme. I loved it!! It was classy without cheesy games, etc. (which I do not like).
