Bridal Shower Gift Poem

-- Bridal Shower Gift Poem --


Sometimes one of the sweetest things you can say is a poem – it’s a sentimental way of sharing those feelings that are sometimes difficult to express. If someone close to you is getting married, and you plan to attend her shower, consider including a special poem along with your gift. Or – perhaps the poem is the gift itself!

At bridal showers, poetry takes on a whole new meaning when paired with a fun gift basket of seemingly random household items.


A Gift Poem

The idea behind a special bridal shower gift poem is that the poem mentions specific words - items that are contained in a gift basket, for example.

Place the items, unwrapped, in a gift basket, done up with cellophane and ribbon. A quick search on the Internet will find that the most common gift basket poem goes something like this:

We gather with you to celebrate the DAWN of a new 
ERA. Marriage is a journey, some days it will be pure JOY but
let's take a moment and talk about the others.

There may come a time when you realize your big BRAWNY guy isn't
necessarily MR. CLEAN. When this and other little glitches
occur, don't SHOUT or send up an SOS.

Go EASY ON
him. Hopefully the TIDE will change quickly, tensions will
VANISH, and things will BOUNCE back to normal. 

We think you and (grooms name) are a FANTASTIC couple with a ZEST
for LIFE and a sincere appreciation for each other. We fully support you
as you and (grooms name) PLEDGE to spend your lives as one.
We wish you all the best, including love, happiness and lots of time to 
SNUGGLE.

The idea is for the bride to read the poem out loud, pausing at each bold word to pick up that item. Play with the above poem to customize it to you. For a fun twist on this game, have each guest bring a specific item – let them know by tucking a note into their invitation. They’ll wonder why they were asked to bring a bottle of Pledge to the party, but they’ll realize why soon enough!

Here’s another example:

May your love be as sweet as chocolate
May his kisses be delicious as honey
May you always enjoy the nights spent together with a movie
And the nights spent out on the town (include a gift certificate)

Get creative by writing your own poem! This can be a fun exercise and is sure to make everyone laugh as the bride makes her way through the poem!


A Poem as a Gift

A poem written just for the bride is a lovely way of letting her know just how important she is to you. Whether you write a silly limerick or a heartfelt set of stanzas, reciting them out loud is a truly thoughtful gift. If you’re a student or short on cash, this could be an economical and very sweet gift.


Presentation

Be sure to write out a copy of the poem on beautiful paper and present it to her as a gift! Placing the poem in a pretty frame is a thoughtful way of presenting it to the bride to be!

A bridal shower gift poem is a fun way to kick off the gift opening, and whether or not you decided to include poetry at your bridal shower as a game, as part of a household items basket, or in some other fashion, it will surely add a fun element to your day!
