6 Creative Themes for Memorable Wedding Showers

Check out some fresh ideas for wedding shower themes you can share with your hosts that’ll inspire guests to RSVP and join the fun!

‍

Why Knot?

You’re tying the knot! Celebrate with a bow-inspired party. If the couple loves days on the water, the knots can be nautical. Or of romance and whimsy are more their speed, satin ribbons tied as garlands or chair adornments can set the stage. Play tongue twister word games and glammed up Twister while feasting on knotted pretzels with savory and sweet sauces, cinnamon bun knots, Twizzler twists, and anything else that ties your theme together.

Around the World Adventure

Transport the couple and guests to their fave destinations around the globe without leaving the venue! Decorate each area of your party space to represent a different country or city significant to the couple. Serve a diverse array of international cuisines, play music from different cultures, and encourage guests to wear outfits inspired by their favorite travel destinations (let everyone guess the places they’re representing!)

Garden Party Extravaganza

Embrace natural beauty with a garden party-themed shower. Host the event in a lush garden or transform an indoor space into a botanical paradise with floral decorations, parasols, and greenery. Incorporate elements like flower crowns, garden-inspired games, and a DIY flower arranging station. Serve fresh seasonal cuisine and refreshing cocktails infused with herbs and edible flowers. Every guest can go home with their own bouquet.

‍Foodie Fiesta

Celebrate the couple's love for food and cooking with a fiesta of fine foods! Set up interactive food stations with a professional chef. Or go DIY: guests can decorate cupcakes or assemble their own gourmet pizzas. Incorporate food decorations like oversized utensils or hanging herbs. Offer a menu featuring the couple's favorite dishes from their favorite culinary destinations. Serve them in courses or as a grazing table with table signs describing notable flavors and food traditions.

Carnival Celebration

Step right up to a whimsical vintage carnival-theme! Transform a venue into a nostalgic carnival setting with striped tents, twinkling lights, and vintage carnival games. Set up a popcorn bar, cotton candy station, and a lemonade stand. Hire entertainers like jugglers, magicians, or a caricature artist to add to midway vibe. Encourage guests to dress for fun and be sure to give away carnival prizes like stuffed animals and pretend goldfish in fishbowls as favors.

Camp Craftacular

Tap into the couple's creativity with a DIY craftacular event! Set up crafting stations where guests can create personalized keepsakes for the couple, such as custom wine glasses, painted canvases, or handmade jewelry. Provide an array of crafting supplies, including paints, brushes, beads, and ribbons. Provide examples for inspo and offer guidance to guests as they unleash their inner artists. Maybe hire a local arts teacher to coach the group and offer help along the way. Serve craft-inspired refreshments like mason jar cocktails, a DIY popcorn or cookie topping bar with colorful sprinkles and flavorings, and artisanal chocolates. Dot the tables with instant cameras so guests can take home mementos of their crafting adventure.
