Be Original With a Basket Shower For the Bride-to-Be!
If you're going to be giving a bridal shower, and you haven't yet decided on an appropriate theme, have I got an idea for you! How about giving a basket shower? Design your invitations in the shape of baskets, and as each guest RSVPs, request that they bring a basket filled with items to fit a specific need.
A basket of flowers can provide a wonderful in-theme centerpiece, and you can pack the food and cake into a picnic basket and eat out in the back yard if weather allows.
Some of the baskets you might ask people to bring could be a fruit basket, a basket of cheeses and crackers, a basket of games, or a basket to fit a particular hobby the bride might enjoy.
Can you imagine the wide assortment of gifts the bride will receive if everyone on the guest list brings her a basket of great items? The focal point of the entire shower would definitely be on the bride and her gifts.
She would truly be overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness and generosity of her friends and relatives, and it would make for a great time, too.
Put yourself in the bride's place.
How much fun could you have if you received numerous baskets of special gourmet treats and gifts and got to open and explore each and every one? You have to admit that you'd love it, and so would any bride-to-be.
Skip the sappy party games and enjoy the bounty everyone has provided for the happy couple.
The people on your guest list will love the convenience of being able to shop for the appropriate gift online.
Although some people enjoy shopping in the mall, more and more people are living such busy lives that going to a mall and searching for a perfect gift can be a real headache.
You know how difficult it can be to have to look through store after store without finding whatever it is you might be looking for.
How much easier it would be for your guests to choose a gift basket in the genre you suggested when they called to RSVP! Without a doubt you'll go down as one of their all-time favorite hostesses.
Rather than make your shower just for the girls, you might give some thought to including the groom and a few of his guy friends or the spouses of your lady guests.
Men could bring gift baskets for the groom, and you could provide a complete picnic lunch for everyone to enjoy in the back yard or at a local park.
This way you'd let the groom in on the fun, allow the bride and groom to spend a fun afternoon together with their friends, and create an absolutely memorable basket bridal shower that people will be talking about for a long time to come.
As you can see, a basket bridal shower is a win-win-win situation for everyone involved.
It will be easy for guests to shop for, a delight for the bride and groom, and allows you to give the perfect shower where everyone will have a wonderful time.
