It is that time of year again when blushing brides are taking center stage. Many couples want to make the most of the great weather and take advantage of the summer sun. With wedding season in full swing we’ve got some great new themes for the perfect bridal shower! A bridal shower is traditionally hosted by the maid-of-honor and is both a practical and fun occasion. It gives the family and friends of the bride an opportunity to celebrate her before the big day. It is important when choosing a bridal shower theme to find one that reflects the personality and likes of the bride-to-be. We have over 20 different themes to choose from and here are a few of the latest arrivals!
I Do Cake Tableware and Decorations:
This theme is totally cake-inspired! A three-tiered cake is the central design element on a subtle gray background with white polka dots. Flowers of gorgeous tangerine, pink and purple embellish the cake and provide a “pop” of color throughout the I Do Cake Bridal Collection. This theme has all of the traditional tableware as well as unique pieces like paper lanterns and even a bridal Bingo game! Create centerpieces for this theme by using small, clear vases filled bright colored gerbera daisies or dahlias. Solid color party supplies, like streamers, can be used to create a decorative backdrop for the gift or refreshment table.

Tips for Planning a Bridal Shower:
- The event can be held anywhere from two months to two weeks before the big day. Just be sure not to invite guests to the shower who haven’t been invited to the wedding.
- Decide if you want to throw a traditional girls only shower or if a couples shower is a better fit for the bride-to-be.
- Although anytime during the day is acceptable, bridal showers are most commonly held in the afternoon.
- Ask your bride to register for gifts. This will make gift buying easier for her guests and ensure she doesn’t end up with multiples of items. Also, it is important for the bride to be mindful of her guests’ budgets so also suggest that she register for several lower priced items.
- Always involve the bride in the planning process if possible. She can help choose the theme she loves the most!
