As more and more couples these days are in their 30s when they get married, the bridal shower should not be about presents. It should be about celebration. Prospective brides now have an opportunity to throw great alternative bridal showers that their grandmothers most definitely were not allowed to. So get your thinking cap on and start brainstorming for the sake of the people who will receive those bridal shower invitations. If you are having a difficult time getting started, I will give you some ideas.
Everyone loves wine and food. What guests would not want to receive bridal shower invitations to a hosted wine tasting soiree? Your guests can taste and then choose the wine that will be downed at the wedding reception. You can buy jackets for the wine to hide the labels and allow everyone a chance to comment and vote on their favorite bottle. You can also host a wine party where your guests bring a bottle of wine to donate to your newlywed wine collection. Have sharpie markers on hand, so guests can sign the bottles. You will smile whenever you get a new bottle out of the collection in later years, as you toast to the person who gave it to you.
Now onto a few food bridal shower themes. You can have everyone write up their favorite recipe on snazzy paper. Have a nice blank book at the party for everyone to mount their recipe in and have them add any comments on a page dedicated to that recipe. You will think of your loved ones and your shower for years to come as you make all the yummy recipes as a couple. If you have culinary geniuses in your circle of friends, you can go with something more advanced. Have your guests make an appetizer. Let the attendees choose the best one by casting votes on slips of paper. Feature the winning creation at the wedding reception and name it after your friend.
Send out the bridal shower invitations and let your guests eat, drink and be merry. Put your thinking cap on and come up with something different. You will be happy that you did not put pressure on anyone to buy you more gifts and will have fun appreciating the fact that your guests are there to help you celebrate.
