3 Unique Bridal Showers Theme Ideas
Decide on a Theme Before Choosing Games

Everybody's game for shower games. Now it's your job to think of something unique and exciting for the future bride's bridal shower. Think outside the box and look beyond the traditional bridal shower set up. Here are three unique themes and locations that might spice up the upcoming party.



1. Spa-Themed Showers
Get it? A shower held at a spa! Either have the party at a spa or salon or simply decorate the house to look like a giant spa. Activities could include manicures and pedicures. Buy plenty of beauty products to add authenticity to your spa party.

Gifts should relate to relaxation and spa treatments, and could include a group contribution to a spa resort. Food should be light eating and bites should easily be held with one hand; think roll ups, squares and snacks. Dress code is very informal, casual or even pajamas. Don't forget the pillows!





2. Chocolate Party
What does every girl love? (Besides Johnny Depp?) For a great idea that can't easily be melted, consider a chocolate party.

Invitations should be chocolate colored and as much as possible the room decorated with dark furnishings, for a chocolate-like atmosphere. Activities are the most important detail: buy plenty of chocolate assortments for group tasting.

Instruct your guest to start sampling the mildest forms of chocolate to the darkest and most intense flavors. Gifts could include baking tools for candy making, chocolate to take home, or even a subscription to the chocolate of the month club. Dress code could be left up to each individual chocolate lover-though extra kudos goes to the girl who shows up as the Green M & M.





3. Lingerie Bridal Showers
The great thing about having a lingerie theme is that it can be as racy or as classy as you'd like. Classy activities that can accompany a mature lingerie party can include wine tasting or classic bridal shower games. For a younger demographic, a racy shower can be a lot of fun.

One popular game is "What's In The Bag?" an adult version of hot potato where a sexy item is put into a bag and passed from guest to guest. When the time goes off the person holding the bag has to wear the item! (This might not go well at a traditional shower) Decoration for either theme could be lace and ribbons. Replace tablecloths with lace and put lace around flower vases and chairs. Another quaint touch might be feather boas for guests.

When it comes time for food? Think sexy and about natural aphrodisiacs. Cocktails, oysters, almonds, mole sauce, and chocolate covered strawberries or bananas are good choices.

When you're in charge of coming up with a unique idea, don't choose something boring and traditional. Give the girls what they asked for and really spice up the bridal shower.
