Bridal Shower...Help!

I didn't know where to post this in case my cousin was a snooper...so I chose here!  I hope some people can help me out! 

Trying to think of some ideas for a Pharmacy themed shower....TIA!!

Favors, Centerpieces, Accent Decor! I've googled and found a few ideas but still looking for more!

Re: Bridal Shower...Help!

  • haha - Rx theme is a first!  A challenge!

    The invite should definitely look like a "prescription for love"

     How about Tic Tacs in pill bottles as favors?  You can custom create Rx labels.  "Mint to be"

    For the CPs, I always think that flowers are the best way to go (plus they double as nice prizes for ladies to take home).  You can stack the favors around them to bring in the theme.  Plus, you can always come up with names of fake drugs that are love-themed or named after the bride and groom.  And then create "logos" for the drugs and wrap those around the flower vases.

    Maybe you can make a sountrack with songs about doctors and fevers. Miami Sound Machine's "Doctor Beat" and Peggy Lee's "Fever" come to mind. 

     

     

  • Wow...some really great ideas!  Thanks!

  • All hail Gator's incredible creativity!  Wow.

    I got nuthin'.  I looked at this post earlier and all I could think was to choose another theme! lol

  • Lol...that sure went through my head!  We were going to go with a beach them since her reception will overlooking the ocean, but when I spoke to her mom yesterday (who is paying for the shower) she said she would like to do something since they are both Pharmacists and they met at Rutgers Pharmacy.  So we will give it a try!  We have 6 months...let's hope we can get it together.

  • Thanks, Tar.  :)

     OP - I kind of assumed that at least one of them was a Pharmacist but wasn't sure.  It would be cute if they maybe had some photos of the 2 of them in their lab coats to display at the entrance.  Maybe next to a framed prescription invite.

    Oh, and M&Ms might be a fun alternative to tic tacs for favors.

  • All I can think of is that Ke$ha song - Your Love is My Drug"!  

  • Gator's ideas are fan-fricking-tastic!  My only other input is to maybe do something about side effects (NOT babies) or which ones shouldn't be mixed.

  • I know you want decore help but I thought of a side idea: Have lab coats embroidered Mrs. so and so...

  • Did you do invitations yet?  You could make them look like prescription pads.  Don't forget the illegible signature!

     Otherwise, I'm no help--Gator's ideas are awesome!

    I'll keep thinking about decor--that seems to be a tough one.

  • Can you do anything with the periodic table?  I know when my husband was in pharmacy research school he did a TON with chemicals ... Maybe make a garland of all the chemicals and use it up around the room?  OR make up your own chemicals using things about them? Names, other hobbies, pets, where they're from .. etc - just format them as if they were on the table?

    You can hand out pill boxes for "favors"

    I'm not sure if this would apply, but maybe for centerpieces you can use chemistry lab shaped vases - draw little lines on them to look like the "measurement lines" and then put water (their wedding color of water) and maybe top it off with flowers in them?

  • Also ... found this game online...

    "Use clean syringe-type medicine dispensers to see who can fill up their cup the fastest from the punch bowl"
