bridal shower idea
Hi ladies! I am working on putting together a bridal shower for my sister and am pretty much doing it single-handedly (there are 2 other girls in the wedding, but one is very long distance and the other is planning a shower for her own sister who is getting married a few weeks after my sister). Anyways, the shower will be in June and I have two ideas for themes going and wanted to see what you think:
1) a tea party theme: have a variety of iced teas (since it will be June), finger sandwiches, etc. Use pretty tea pots/cups with flowers in them as table decoration
2) a picnic theme: have mini versions of regular picnic food (ex: pigs in a blanket, mini-hamburgers, flavored lemonades, etc)
My sister wants to know nothing about the shower, so I can't get her opinion on a preference (she didn't even want to know when it was until she realized she needed to know in order to take off work).
TIA for your thoughts on either/both themes!
Re: bridal shower idea
I like both ideas, but I think tea parties are more common. I'd go for the picnic theme to try something new.
Would you have the picnic theme inside or outside? Would you need a backup location in case of rain?
I think they are both cute- and you could do a lot to really expand either theme. Is your sister frilly or more laid back?
