Spring Wedding Shower Ideas

No matter how down-to-earth and low maintenance your bride-to-be may seem, there is nothing like pending nuptials to catapult-launch her into a full on frenzy. Wedding and bridal showers are the one place you want her to feel ultimately relaxed, comfortable and among close friends and family doing something she truly enjoys. Now, it all comes down to how well you know the bride, because there are so many directions you can take a wedding shower that you’re going to have to make some decisions. Fortunately, we have a guide to spring wedding shower themes that will take you step-by-step through each phase of planning.

Spring Wedding Shower Themes

The theme is queen when it comes to wedding shower ideas. The theme will drive everything else, so choose something your bride will love!

Wine Tasting Bridal Shower

If your bride is in to the finer things, take her to a wine tasting event where she can taste fine wine, munch on cheese and grapes, and be showered with wine- or bar-related gifts, such as barware, glasses, bottle stoppers, wine openers, etc… Better yet, hire a sommelier to come to you! That way you won’t have to lug the gifts around, plus you’ll have the privacy of an expert all to yourself.

Spa Day Bridal Shower

Spend the afternoon getting pampered with a group spa day. Massages, pedicures, manicures, facials… Doesn’t that sound like it’s exactly what the wedding planner order? Calm your bride down with a tranquil party, putting her nerves and cold feet to rest.

Garden Party Bridal Shower

Take your bride outside, more specifically, to the garden. Dorn yourselves in big fancy hats, line the tables with yummy finger foods and supply tea, lemonade (spiked or alcohol-free… your choice!) and champagne and toast to a bride more beautiful than any bouquet of flowers!

Stock-the-Bar Bridal Shower

How often do you have unannounced guests and wish you had the right type of beverages to offer them? Stock-the-bar wedding showers will prepare the soon-to-be newly weds with all the liquor they’ll need to play host to any number of guests. Encourage all wedding shower gifts to be top-shelf alcohol or vintage wines.

Spring Wedding Shower Games

And now, to the entertainment portion of the afternoon/evening. Many bridal showers play host to games and activities in which the bride and her guests may take part. Spring wedding showers are no exception!

Wine Tasting Bridal Shower

What else would you play but guess the wine? Have three different types of wines that guests must guess the type. This is a game that’s perfect for any wino bride.

Spa Day Bridal Shower

No games necessary for this theme. The entertainment comes from complete and utter relaxation. But if you’re really jonesing for something other than a deep-tissue massage, try the classic “guess the gift” game where the bride tries to guess what each person got her before opening. It doesn’t take too much physical exertion, so she can keep her relaxed demeanor.

Garden Party Bridal Shower

Aside from opening gifts, the bride and guests are there for a little more entertainment. How about a game of celebrity hubby? Each guest writes down who her celebrity husband would be, drops it in a bowl, and the bride fishes out each response trying to match the celebrity husband with his fake bride.

Stock-the-Bar Bridal Shower

Anytime there is alcohol involved, stories are shared. This party should be no exception! Have each guest write down a favorite memory involving the bride. Then, the bride selects each memory, reads it aloud, and guesses from whom the memory came.

Spring Wedding Shower Favors

Leave the guests with a lovely keepsake to remember the fun afternoon you spent together. Remember, wedding favors should match the theme as well as possible!

Wine Tasting Bridal Shower

Any kind of wine accessory—such as a wine bottle stopper, a corkscrew, a wine glass charm—with some sort of personalization on it should be perfect.

Spa Day Bridal Shower

Personalized soaps, body salts, lotions or anything else in the home-pampering department will be the perfect spa day tie in to give your guests as they leave the shower.

Garden Party Bridal Shower

When you think garden parties, a couple things come to mind that would serve as great favors. Teacups, potted plants, seeds or bird feeders, each one of which will remind the guest of that wonderful afternoon each time she looks at it.

Stock-the-Bar Bridal Shower

Why else would they make little one-serving bottles of alcohol if they didn’t mean to give them out as party favors? Other than those (or in addition to them!), engraved wine glasses, beer mugs or scotch glasses are all appropriate favors for this day. The spring fun doesn’t stop here! In addition to wedding showers, spring holds a variety of other reasons to celebrate. Take a look at any one of these!
