1. A Gorgeous Welcome Sign

First impressions are always important, and a visually striking sign like the one below are a great way to let guests know what to expect from the shower – beauty, elegance and a wonderful afternoon.

2. Flower Crown Making

Everyone loves a flower crown, and with festival season is just around the corner, making some of your very own is a fun way to get creative and just maybe uncover a new skill you never knew you had.

3. Instagram frame

I can pretty much guarantee that around 90% of the guests at any bridal shower will be looking to snag the perfect shot for their Insta. A frame, or some other props, can help to add some focus to the photography going on and let everyone else cut loose.

4. Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea at a bridal shower is a classic for a reason – it's classy and sophisticated, but doesn't exclude those who don't drink alcohol from joining in with all of the fun.

5. Mimosa bar

Already know that all of your guests drink alcohol? As long as you have some designated drivers in place, a mimosa bar is a wonderful way to fuel the fun without the risk associated with strong cocktails – there's always one guest who can't handle their liquor!

6. Guest book

When they're done right, bridal showers are capable of making memories that last a lifetime. Still, it's always nice to have a guest book to jog the memory! Plus, this gives guests who may be a little shy about speaking in public somewhere to pass their best wishes to the bride.

7. Date Jar/Wedding Tip Jar

No, I'm not suggesting that you tip the bride for her service! When I say 'tip' here, I'm suggesting tidbits and advice that you've picked up from your own relationships/marriages. Whether it's how to keep the magic alive as years go by or mistakes you'd love someone else to learn from(!), there's always a few diamonds in here by the end of the shower.

8. Favours

Everyone loves to leave a great party or bridal shower with a little something to remember it by. From scented candles to these quirky handmade soaps by RavensCTApothecary, there are tons of choices out there for putting together a lovely (and great smelling!) party bag.

9. Games

Try not to obsess too much about the structure of any bridal shower you're throwing – sometimes the best thing to do is step back, let people mingle and go with the flow. Even so, it's always a good idea to have a few games lined up for if conversation falters. They also make for a great segue into or intro to speeches, toasts etc.

10. Balloons Balloons Balloons

You're never too old for balloons! Maybe we're all secretly five years old at heart, but I defy you to find anybody whose face doesn't light up at a room full of balloons. And, thanks to sellers like PalmAndPinePartyCo, you can grab beautiful options (in "en vogue" colours like Rose Gold, Silver or Pink) from one place.
