Weddings are about the happy couple. They are also about family and friends. That is the case through the whole processes of getting married. There is one big exception, the bridal shower. That is all about the ladies! The first thing that you might think of would be the bridal shower favors. If that is the case then you are thinking about things backwards. You first need to decide what type of shower you want to have so as to pick appropriate wedding shower favors.
For very small showers, many times it is held simply in a restaurant. These types of showers have some advantages of other types in that they don?t require much planning or effort to organizing and it gives good friends a chance to chat and hang out. The types of wedding favors for something like this become merely a choice of preference.
If you are looking for something more formal and proper then maybe a tea party or garden party theme would work for you. It?s sweet and takes you back to childhood a bit, when you played with plastic tea cups and poured imaginary tea. It has a very ?Alice in Wonderland? type of feel to it and you can use it lighten the mood and spirit but beware of the looking glass!
Now we arrive at the fun bridal shower. It held in a home and based abound a theme. Caribbean themes and Hawaiian themes are very popular especially if the couple will be honeymooning there but even if the bride just likes it. You could serve food along the theme (jerk chicken skewers, for example). Then is the fun part, the games. There is an endless list of them.
An easy one to start with that requires no skill is ?The Purse Game?. Before the shower make up a list of items that might be found in a purse and award each item a point value based on the obscurity of the time. High score wins! Another easy one to play is ?Famous Couples?. Make a list of famous couples, real and imaginary. Call them out while the guests write down the other half. As always, high score wins. Another one requires two sheets of poster board. On one, write English words, on the other write the British equivalent. Match the most and win. A real fun one is ?Herbs and Spice?. You just take ten paper cups and fill them with ten spices. Number each cup and make a key. Pass the cups around, have the guests write down their guess and see who does best (it might be good to avoid chili powder or crushed red pepper here). This is a great game if your shower has a kitchen theme. A fun, very domestic game to play is ?The Household Price is Right?. Gather together 10 or more household items of varying prices. Have your ?Bob Barker? set up sets of between two and four items. Go around and have the guests take guesses at the total price (remember the closest without going over). Award the points to the winner and go to the next round. The same item can show up in more than one round. Other rules you can just make up.
Showers like that give you have plenty of options on favors too. Stay in the theme and you will be ok. - 30299
