How many times has this happened to you - you open the mail and there’s another wedding shower invitation and all you can think of is another boring, simple themed shower to go to. No fun, the same food, cake and silly games….
Now it’s your turn to have a wedding shower and you want it unlike anything anyone has been to before! Here’s how you do it:
Think pink this year - A glam and sassy all ladies party is easy to do and something that everyone will enjoy. The greatest part of this theme is that the more pink feather boas and sparkles the better!
For the invitation: Nothing sets the tone for your party like the perfect invitation! You can choose from several different options for this theme: martini glasses, scrolls or bold hot pink block print. Make it clear on the invitation if there is also a theme for gifts, such as sexy lingerie, fashion jewelery or stock the couples home bar and beverage center.


For the cocktails: You always need to have a fun "signature" drink at the party and name it after the bride-to-be. This doesn’t need to be complicated at all - make a batch of cosmos or even a champagne cocktail - just add an extra splash of fruit juice or liquor and presto, you have your "Lisa." Try garnishing glasses with pink sugar rims and lime wedges and make sure to add different patterned ribbons around the stems to serve as glass labels.
For the food: This type of event lends itself to the sweet tooth that everyone has inside all of us. Sweet tables adorned with candy, cupcakes, and petit fours are a great option. Don’t forget to offer at least one or two savory appetizers, such as a cheese platter or simple hors’ douveres.
For the décor: Have the event space look bright, bold and fun! Pair bright pink with animal prints or even black and white prints. Try to use lots of beads and feathers to give texture to your centerpieces.

This will be a party that all your friends and family will talk about for years to come!
