Mixing tribal looks with whimsical, romantic colors is a an imaginative way to dress up the party venue, so think of a color palate that consists of soft browns like toffee, caramel, and chocolate hues merged with baby pinks, blues, greens, pale yellows, and lavender. Drape guest tables in dark brown cloths with gold runners and lay out centerpieces of rustic vases filled with orange lilies. String up garland of teepee and colorful feather cutouts and string up tons of glittering green garland as if you’re in the beautiful spring outdoors. Have beautiful headdresses at each table setting for guests to wear throughout the party for an extra dose of fun. Bouquets of feathers placed around the venue serve as a beautiful accent. Don’t forget a big backdrop proclaiming congratulation messages to the future bride as well.

Food can be as equally as creative as the decorations and can blend natural foods kept in theme with the tribal motif and sweet and delectable treats that are a sight to see. Sugar cookies in the shape of feathers, thickly frosted cupcakes with glittery toppers, and a multi-tiered bridal shower cake with sugar fondant wigwam and tribal princess accents are examples of yummy treats to include in your main food table. Nuts, fruits, veggies, and different types of fresh bakery bread are great for guests to munch on and enjoy with an array of organic spreads like jams, cheeses, and marmalades.

Tribal | Boho Bridal Shower Games

Games and activities should consist of classic and themed elements alike. Bridal Bingo and Bachelorette Mad Libs are always a good choice, while setting up activities like making tribal headdresses, dream catcher making, clay pottery, or jewelry is something guests can really get engaged in and can take home as a wonderful favor from the party. Speaking of favors, some fantastic ideas for gift favors include feather photo frames, bejeweled compacts, faux tribal temporary tattoos, or manicure sets with tribal colored nail polishes. Wrap all these goodies up in a themed bag or box that is imaginatively decorated with geometric jewels.

Falling in Love Bridal Shower Decor

When putting together decorations for a “Falling in Love” bridal shower, remember to keep your color palate bright and warm—and definitely don’t forget the all-too-familiar autumn scents of pumpkin, spices, and apples, both in food and from scented pillar candles on tall silver candle holders or leaf shaped bowls of potpourri. Tables draped in gold and chocolate colored linens and settings with bronze goblets and matching tableware are as romantic as they are beautiful. Floral arrangements of dried flowers mixed with deep red roses look breathtaking all over the party venue as centerpieces or as garland hanging over doorways and looped around tables. Orange and silver balloons tied in bunches with white ribbon and temporary wall decals of trees and falling leaves are especially gorgeous, along with twinkling fairy lights strung up everywhere. You can even have twig and floral wreaths for guests to wear during the party, which really increases the interaction and airy feel.

Falling in Love Bridal Shower Food

There should be a couple of main tables that house all the delicious food and drinks, and you can start with the main even cake. A double-tiered cake in an ombre of colors that represent the fall season (reds, oranges, yellows, and browns) and a cake topper that portrays congratulation messages to the bride to be is a fabulous ode to the upcoming happy nuptials.

Simple sugar cookies in the shapes of leaves, pumpkin replicated cake pops, orange frosted brownies, and pumpkin spice cupcakes are all tasty additions that can be served on rustic silver or bronze platters.

Yummy drinks of spiked hot cider, hot chocolate, and dark wines are a wonderful idea for the beverage table. For actual meal food, you might consider soups such as pumpkin or tomato with grilled sandwiches and warm roasted nuts such as almonds or pecans. You also might even consider setting up a separate station for different kinds of miniature pies for guests to try and enjoy.

Activities can be really creative and fun for an autumn themed bridal shower. You can set up an activity for carving pumpkins or a loud game of bobbing for apples. Give favors to your guests in the form of prizes or reminiscent of a fall festival in which guests have to “fish” over a wall in order to catch onto their autumn bag of goodies. Favors such as autumn scented candles, leaf designed candle holders or dishtowels, and gourmet treats such as pumpkin pastries and pralines are delightful all wrapped up in a velvet bag that guests can take home with them.

Disney Bridal Shower Decorations

Decoration ideas are aplenty, so don’t let yourself get overwhelmed when trying to figure out how to put it all together. A great place to start are with sheers. Find ivory, white, blush pink, and baby blue sheer curtains and hang them up draped and flowing along doorways, walls, ceilings, chairs, tables, and just about anywhere you can think of. This gives the entire event venue a dreamy feel that Disney evokes in all of us. Have tons of garlands of cutouts in the shapes of tiaras, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, while pinning up bigger displays on walls of Mulan, Tiana, Merida, and Elsa. Lace pale pink ribbon and sapphire streamers all across the party space and tie big, purple bows on the backs of guest chairs. Drape tables in satin gold tablecloths with centerpieces of pearlescent white vases filled with deep red roses and whims of Babies Breath. Wall decals of magic mirrors and chandelier silhouettes make a remarkable look for the party, while crystal drops of all sizes placed in as many spots as you can manage make gorgeous little details. Have a huge backdrop with the outline of the Disney castle and the bride to be’s name in huge glittering letters right behind the main food table.

Disney Bridal Shower Food

Food is absolutely a ball to put together for a Disney themed bridal shower! From gorgeous desserts to dainty delicatessens, you can really wow the guests with this setup. First, create a tall tier full of cupcakes frosted in different, glittering colors with toppers for every Disney princess. Have a huge tiara topper with the couple to be’s names and sparklers to light to celebrate. Sugar cookies in the shapes of all the best Disney animal sidekicks, macaroons in rainbow colors, and candies in colored apothecary jars are all delightful to see and to taste. For an especially fun time with guests, have sparkling champagne cocktails replicated after Disney movies ready for everyone to try.

Disney Bridal Shower Games & Favors

Great favors for this themed party can be wine charms, Disney printed journals, coaster sets, or glittering key chains—all of which guests will love and can use. Makeup kits in Disney princess themed colors and even themed Disney mugs filled with candy are great to hand out as prizes for games as well. While Bridal Bingo is always a good one to play, don’t forget to incorporate a Disney game as well, such as Disney charades or Pictionary!

Retro Housewife Bridal Shower Decors

First, you have to start with the whimsical and nostalgic decorations, and don’t forget that this themed shower should be filled with plenty of humor as well. Think along the lines of Anne Taintor artwork, in which humor is used in the form of retro housewives imagery. You can find this type of comical décor in the form of matching napkins, plates, and drinkware, or in the forms of party favors such as coasters, wine bottle charms, or stoppers.

Send out invitations with humorous retro designs to the guests and encourage them to dress up in 1950’s housewives style. Patterns like polka dots with bright colors of reds, navys, blacks, pinks, and whites are also great for décor and really make the venue space pop! Cherry red balloons with white polka dots, navy streamers, and hot pink table cloths with big bow sashes for guest chairs all tie in seamlessly together, while metal toasters, a pale pink mixer, and turquoise vases filled with white daisies complete the 1950’s look.

Housewife Bridal Shower Food

Food can also serve as décor in that it will be just as eye-catching! Put old timey glass bottles of Coca Cola in large mint green metal ice buckets with white and red striped straws nearby. A main event cake in the form of a high, multi-tiered tower filled with colorful cupcakes with thick icing, tons of sprinkles, and cherries on top is perfect to put at the center of the main food table. Set up a station to make soda floats with ice cream, and have plenty of chocolate chip cookies, rice crispy treats, fudge, and classic candy such as rock candy, jelly beans, and sugar drops. Tea sandwiches and miniature bagels work great for salty fares, while setting up an activity in which guests get to put on a cute apron (that they can take home with them!) and bake together is a great idea to fill the space with yummy, fresh goodness.

Housewives Bridal Shower Games

Favors and games can really be merged together in the form of a bake off, a contest for the best dressed housewife, and other activities such as The Apron Game, Why do we do that, and Who Knows the Bride Best. Award prizes that guests can use as much as they enjoy looking at, such as candle holders, miniature desk calendars, or soda koozies—all with 1950’s funny housewives images. These are great ways to make your 1950’s Housewives themed bridal shower one that no one will forget!
