Movie Theme
Personalized Broadway Mint Tin (Multiple Colors Available)
Preparing for a wedding can be a stressful time for the bride to be…making sure that the colors are correct, the cake, the dress, everything has to be perfect for this special day. Bridal showers are no exception, because the person throwing the shower, whether it be the maid of honor or the mother of the bride to be, wants to make sure that everything is perfect, from the invitations to the end of the party and everything in between. Why not have a shower where everyone attending can relax, laugh, and enjoy the company of each other? A movie theme is the perfect way to achieve this…
For this theme, you can have simple invitations describing the event, where it will be held, etc. If you’d like to have something that will set the mood, you could have your invitations look like a movie billboard or a “clapper”, and have something like, “Friends, Popcorn, and Movies…what else do you need? Come enjoy the company of everyone at the movies!” In the invitations, have the guest bring a movie for everyone to watch (if you’re planning a slumber party along with this, make sure to let the guest know and to bring their belongings).
There’s not a need for decorations as this theme is simply about relaxing, having fun, and enjoying the company of everyone around you…but if you’d like to have decorations, go ahead and let your imagination go. You can have any type of food you want…pizza, burgers, Chinese food, anything you can imagine. Also, if you want to really get into the theme, buy some extra goodies…Baby Ruth’s, chocolate covered raisins, Gummi worms, anything that you would enjoy at the movie theater.
If you’re looking for a good way to de-stress and have fun, then try this theme!
Bridal Treasure Hunt Theme
Silver Plated Heart Box with Black Velvet Lining
There are many types of bridal shower themes…Asian themes, garden themes, traditional themes, and everything in between. How about a theme that the bride to be doesn’t know about, a high tech treasure hunt? Using the technology of today, this will be a great way to surprise the bride to be!
Send out invitations to the guest letting them know about the shower but not to tell the bride to be, as she will have to find the ‘treasure’, which is the party itself. Find a place to have the shower, big enough for all attending, and preferably, some place that the bride to be would never think of. As this will probably be an all day thing, start early by sending clues to the bride to be via letters, phone calls, cell phones, anything you can think of…this works better if a friend of the bride to be, who of course is in on this, can keep her busy while things are being set up. Make sure the messages are short and only tell bits of where the shower will be held.
Decorations can be simple or extravagant…you can have the colors of the wedding, you could have the place of the shower look like a party, or anything that will look fun and enjoyable. Food could be catered, guest could bring food, like pot luck, or if the shower is outside, barbeque…music could be provided by a band or disk jockey. Have the guest there 15-30 minutes before the bride to be so that everyone can surprise her.
There are many games that could be played at this shower…bingo, trivia games based on the bride and groom, or anything that’s fun and will get everyone involved. Party favors for the guest could be miniature treasure chest with the names of the bride and groom.
If you’d like treasure hunts, like using today’s technology, and want to give the bride to be something she will never forget, definitely try this theme!
