Affordable and elegant bridal shower ideas
Hosting a shower? Regardless if you have
the shower at a hall or someone's home, the best bridal or wedding showers
are always kept simple: It's a party that's meant to "shower" the
bride with good wishes and gifts. With these bridal
shower ideas you don't
always have to do it all yourself or hire a caterer, have the other moms
and bridesmaids pitch in. (A little hint: Assign and email the recipes.)
We have recipes and menus for five different parties, each complete with
recipes and drink suggestions, to help you plan with ease. Feel free
to mix and match the recipes or substitute your own favorite recipe.
And one more thing: don't forget the Shower
Favors! We have partnered with myweddingfavors.com to get special discounts
on the best assortment of affordable, unique or personalized wedding
or shower favors. They also cary a huge assortment of invitations, table
cards, candles, guest books, supplies and gifts for the bridesmaids or
groomsmen.
Elegant Brunch
A multi-course shower brunch feels both decadent and civilized — fork-and-knife
dishes with the perfect mix of sweet and savory to keep your spirits up
through midday. Mimosas (made
with freshly squeezed orange juice) or bellinis (if
peaches are in season) would be a classic pairing here.
High Tea
Keep the bridal shower classic here with scones, biscuits, finger sandwiches
and cake. Serve an assortment of teas, both caffeinated and herbal, and
sparkling water with fresh fruit.
Dessert
For a mid-afternoon bridal shower, all-dessert is a good way to go. A selection
of sorbets surrounding an impressive yet simple flower and ice centerpiece
keeps it light and airy; flourless cake takes care of the chocolate urge.
Dessert wines or Port are a great match, or try a punch as a counterpoint.
Coed
Invite the whole gang for an informal "coed" shower. Modern twists
on classic comfort food are the perfect fit for your girls (and guys!).
Cocktails, beer or red wine work well with this hearty fare.

with it — for a practical spin on the bridal shower. Click on the gifts
