Guests often cringe at the thought of another stuffy bridal shower. They might seem very cookie cutter and dry. Guests often don't know each other and spend an afternoon with a group of people they're only going to see one or two more times (bachelorette party and the wedding). Therefore it's important to keep these events fresh and fun. The following is a list of some top bridal shower ideas.
The Silly
Break the ice with these helpful bridal shower activities.
- Karaoke: A karaoke themed shower is a fun way to get guests on their feet. Whether you rent a machine or host the shower at a local karaoke bar, you can't go wrong. Everyone will have fun singing songs that somehow relate to the bride. It's a great icebreaker for those guests who have never met.
- Bridal Makeover: Everyone wants to makeover the bride! Whether it's themed in 80s nostalgia, or classic 50s pin-up, bridal makeovers are cheap (you can probably find most of what you need right in your makeup bag) or you can choose to have guests bring their favorite blush.
The Interactive
Guests will smile and laugh with these nontraditional bridal shower events.
- Pole Dancing Lessons: Maybe not as traditional as, say, a tea party, the pole dancing lesson is not for the timid. Many studios offer private lessons with instructors who can come to your home. A combination of a bachelorette party and a bridal shower, this is one bridal shower game your guests will never forget.
- Scavenger Hunt: A more interactive and engaging activity. Scavenger hunts can be played around the party or throughout the city. It's your choice, but be prepared to have all the details and hiccups ironed out in advance.
No matter what you choose to do, remember to make it memorable and keep it fresh. With wedding season upon us, chances are your guests have been to a few showers already.
