What is a wedding shower theme?

A shower theme defines its aesthetic. Choose one “item” to decorate the occasion. Take into account the interests of the couple being honored while deciding on a wedding shower theme. Enjoy spending time in the kitchen? Love nature? Like to camp? Prefer beach time? Reading fan?

Pick a single characteristic of the best man and run with it as the theme for the bridal shower. To have a party with a certain theme, all you have to do is decide on a concept, locate an invitation, and then track down the rest of the necessary party supplies.

The kitchen, spa, book, garden, lemon, and rustic are just a few examples of time-tested, popular themes.

Example: a kitchen theme. As more and more couples experiment with new recipes, food subscription services, and low-cost date activities at home (like cooking together!), a kitchen theme is one of the most popular options for bridal showers in 2023. Organizing a bridal shower with a culinary theme may look like this.

  • Kitchen: A kitchen shower theme is perfect for a foodie bride or couple! Guests bring presents to fill the kitchen, recipe cards of their favorite recipes to construct a recipe book, and prizes on games include wooden spatulas, mixing bowls, baking sets, and more. Tables may be decorated with centerpieces of bunches of flowers in elegant vases. The point is made!
