We’ve got 5 fun and fresh ideas for planning the perfect bridal shower.
Recipes & Wine
Ask guests to write out their favourite go-to recipe and include a good wine that pairs with it (and yes, you should give up the secrets to your very best bolognaise). Then, as host, provide a pretty recipe box to keep them in all together.
Lingerie & Linen
Bed sheets, bras and other boudoir essentials make for practical gift ideas you know she’ll use. Besides, investing in 600-thread count sheets for yourself isn’t always fun (but receiving them is).
Around the Clock
A creative way to give traditional gifts is to assign each guest a specific time of day and ask them to buy gifts appropriate for that time. For example, an espresso machine for 7am or a martini set for 9pm. Then the bride can open them in sequence.
Gift Cards
For the bride who has everything, gift cards to a department store let her (and hubby) pick what they want without committing to a registry.
By Room
Similar to Around the Clock, assign each guest a room of the house and have them buy items that’ll be useful in that room. It’s a nice way to give a cashmere throw for the couch or that great mirror for the front entrance she’s been eyeing.
