Beach Theme Bridal Shower-- Beach Theme Bridal Shower -- For the bride-to-be who loves spending time by the sea, a beach theme wedding shower is the perfect creative way to celebrate her upcoming nuptials! Maybe you are planning a shower for a friend who is from a beachy area, or maybe she met her fiancé near the water. Or, perhaps she is planning an exotic honeymoon or even a destination wedding! Thinking outside the box and planning a shower with a theme will not only make a memorable event; it will also show your friend that you put a lot of thought into planning her special day. Beach Theme Bridal Shower Invitations If you’re planning an event, it’s important to remember that the first “taste” guests will receive of the event is the invitation. So, if you want to let guests know you are planning a shower with a beach theme, now is the time! Choose an invitation that captures your theme – and remember to make sure that a formal invitation leads to a formal party, and a casual invitation leads to a casual party! Will you be giving guests some direction when it comes to gifts? Perhaps you are centering the shower around an exotic vacation the bride is planning. If so, include a cute phrase indicating the plan to the guests. This will let them know that all gifts should center around a particular theme, and that you hope to send the bride packing in style! Beach Theme Recipes Parties are all about the food. So, if you’re planning a beach theme bridal shower, be sure to serve up some tasty seaside favorites. A big platter of crab cakes will go a long way! Other yummy seafood platters to display include smoked salmon with cream cheese and crackers, and a big shrimp cocktail. Want to really make a splash? Serve up some beach-inspired desserts. One of the most amazing ways to truly recreate a beach is to use brown sugar as “sand” in a display. For example, you could cover a tray in brown sugar, and then place sand-dollar shaped sugar cookies on it, or cupcakes that feature gorgeous aqua garnishes. Beach Décor With a beach theme, it’s important to choose your colors in advance. Will it be a casual turquoise and sand-colored affair? Or, are you planning a glamorous hot pink and gold shower? Balloons in your chosen colors will add a celebratory feel to any room. If you plan to decorate with flowers, ask your florist to recommend some bright, tropical blooms! Add some beach umbrellas, seashells, and a few palm trees, if possible! Be sure to play lots of beach music and reggae to help set the mood! Beach Favors Send guests home with something that will always make them remember the fun time they had at the shower! Beach themed showers could include picture frames, candles, or candies that feature a seashell motif. Seashell shaped chocolates, or miniature sand pails filled with candy would be adorable! Beach Shower Theme Gift Ideas Send your bride-to-be off on her honeymoon in style by giving her a stylish passport case (luxurious ones are available at Tiffany!), leather luggage tags (personalize it by creating a card with her contact information and slipping it inside) and of course, a white bikini that either has a hew new married name or just the word “Bride” written across the bottom! Gift certificates for local spas will also be appreciated as she gets ready for her holiday – or just wants to indulge herself after the wedding! Hosting a beach themed bridal shower is a fun way of getting the girls together! Got a big budget and want to splurge? Don’t forget the calypso band!
