When it comes to bridal showers, the themes and ideas are endless! Our best advice? Cater to the bride-to-be’s favorite things and places to create a bash that’s fun and all about her. These are eight of some of the most amazing bridal shower ideas we can’t stop swooning over!
1. Breezy Beach Theme
Light blues, starfish, and special sea-inspired elements inspire one gorgeous beach themed bridal shower. The perfect combination of decor and favors can work well, even without the ocean! Andressa of Twinkle Twinkle Little Party transformed a sandy riverbank into this breezy shower.

DIY Tip: Incorporate cute ocean details, like a coral place card holder at each guest’s seat or a “Message in a Bottle” display for guests to write well wishes.

Jewel tones will continue to be very popular in 2016, and there’s no better way to celebrate the bride-to-be than with a beautiful gold, sapphire blue, and ruby red shower!

4. A Glittery Photobooth
We love the idea of creating your own photo booth with a glittery gold backdrop. Print out cards that say how the bride met each friend for a wonderful keepsake photo!
5. Pineapples and Palms
Bright watercolors, pineapples and palms make a chic theme, especially for the bride who’s planning a spring or beach destination wedding.
Break out the bubbly and mix it with fresh pineapple and orange juice for fruity cocktails!
6. Kitchen Inspired Shower
If the bride and groom are avid cooks, the bride-to-be would love a kitchen themed bridal shower. Guests can help the couple stock their kitchen with all the essentials they need!

One fun shower game idea: pin several kitchen tools on an apron and have the bride walk around the room. Afterwards, guests can write down as many items they can remember to win a prize. Before they leave, also ask guests to write a piece of advice on a wooden spoon for a sweet gift for the couple!

7. A Nautical Bridal Shower
Maybe the bride loves a preppy look? A pretty nautical bridal shower in pink, navy and white is a fresh take on a traditional nautical theme.
8. Champagne Brunch
Time to pop the bubbly! Invite the bride’s closest gal pals for a stylish champagne brunch shower, complete with a DIY champagne cocktail bar and lovely touches of pink and gold.
