As I mentioned a few months back, my sister is getting married next year. I get the wonderful task of planning her bridal shower, and, being my usual over-enthusiastic planning self, I have most of it down. And a fair amount of supplies purchased. The wedding is in July.
Since Leslie and Adam love to cook, we’re throwing them a kitchen-themed shower. Luckily, Adam’s sister (slash bridesmaid) is a professional chef, so the food prep decisions should be a little easier. We’re planning to hold the shower at our parents’ house which is literally about two miles from Adam’s parents’ house (the parentals live off the same highway).
Here are some invitation ideas. They’ll be blue, green, or yellow.

Some game ideas. The first is based on the 1950s article on how to be a good housewife. Someone reads the article then people try to remember the words. The second is guessing spices.

For décor, we’re sticking with the kitchen theme. I bought $5 cookbooks at AC Moore in Fayetteville (and used a coupon) and will be making centerpieces like these. They’ll also double as the game prizes.
And our menu.
– Finger sandwiches: chicken salad croissants, turkey and cheese with herbed spread wraps, pimento cheese on wheat
– Bruschetta
– Salad
– Waffle cone fruit cups
– Lemon bars
– Cupcakes
– Peach sangria
– Sparkling wine cocktail (we had a Sprite and Moscato berry punch at my shower. Yum).
What sort of bridal shower games do y’all like? What are your food suggestions?
That sounds like such a fun shower! We didn’t’ really play games at my bridal shower, but e did have an advice bin, where friends and family wrote their favorite advice they received when they got married, which I read monthly!
How fun! Seems you’ve thought of everything!
Such cute ideas! I wouldn’t even know where to start with planning a bridal shower.
Oh my gosh!!! The Kitchen theme is absoultey amazing! I’d love all of that !♥ amazing ideas!
The one game that is fun is Bridal Bingo, you right on a blank bingo card what you think the bride will get and when you get 5 in a row {like bingo} you shout Bride! and win a little prize. 🙂 ♥
Because I JUST had my own bridal shower just days ago, I can name a couple games! We did “what’s in your purse?” We kept going down a list and the last woman standing one a prize. Then, we did bridal bingo. Guests filled out cards with gift names (i.e. slow cooker, toaster oven, spatula, etc.) – and as I opened it, people would ex the item and then they had three prizes to giveaway, so the first three bingos got it! 🙂
