Towel Cakes For Bridal Shower

Bridal showers demand attention to every tiny detail, ranging from correct placard placement for seat arrangements to chinaware selection and setting. The big details sometimes overshadow the smaller stuff and the poor bridal shower organizers may have their hands so full that they just cannot give their time and energy to basic criteria like the presentation of the bridal shower venue. And even when it comes to presentation, there is a certain, unshakeable hierarchy present to bridal shower décor.

At the top is the centerpiece, then comes the venue decoration, next comes the placard placements and at the bottom most rung lies towel cake arrangement. It is for this very reason that we have readymade images of bridal shower towel cakes for your viewing pleasure.

We know you have the least amount of time to devote to bridal shower towel cake making. Actually, this is one of those "going the extra mile" aspects of the bridal shower, which is not really all that necessary to invest your time and energy in. However, having a towel cake arranged neatly and prettily for your bridal shower is surely one of those things, which will give people something to remember about your bridal shower for a long time in the future. It is not all that common a sight at showers and the mere presence of a bridal shower towel cake shows the amount of effort the party organizers have gone to pull all the stops for the bride.

How to make a bridal shower towel cake?

Bridal shower towel cakes are extremely easy to construct. All you need is funky towel folding skills and you are all set.

Tiered bridal shower towel cake

To build the different tiers or levels of a bridal shower towel cake is extremely easy.

Take the sturdiest towel, probably a bath towel and start rolling it lengthwise. You should get a large circumference (or width) of about 6 to 7 inches. (You may need to roll up more than two towels and inter mingle them together to get this effect). This will make the bottom most layer (the foundation for the rest of the cake).

Next, take the next largest towel, probably something along the lines of a wash cloth. Again, you may use about two sheets. Start rolling them length wise from the ends as well (same way you rolled the bottom most bath towel tier). Place the wash clothwashcloth layer on top of the bath towel layer. Now you have two tiers of the bridal shower towel cake.

The top most tier of the cake involves the lightest and smallest kind of towel or towels. Hand towels would be ideal raw material. Repeat the same procedure that you employed for the bottom two tiers and get the hand towel tier with the smallest circumference or width. Place this tier at the top of the towel cake. Voila, the basic structure of the cake is already complete! The battle is almost won. Now all that remains is the extraneous decoration.

Bridal Shower Towel Cake Decoration Ideas

Bridal Shower Towel Cake Ribbon

You may take three ribbons made of silk, satin, lace or cotton, and of varying lengths. Three ribbons, three tiers.. yes, that is right, each ribbon will be tied around each tier, so plan out the lengths of the ribbons in accordance with the widths of their respective tiers. Once each ribbon is successfully tied around each tier, you may tie a pretty little bow at the end to give it a cute look (Refer to the fourth towel cake image in the gallery with the see through golden ribbons to get a feel of how your cake should look like with the ribbons tied in this manner).

Of course, you may also use tinier ribbons, make multiple bows of them, and staple them close next to each other on the wall surface of the different tiers (the main image on the page is the perfect example of this kind of ribbon decoration).

Bridal Shower Towel Cake Ornaments

You are free to experiment and decorate the towel cake with all kinds of ornaments (preferably chosen to keep in tone with the rest of the bridal shower decor). As you can see in the images, there is a variety of ornaments which may be placed on the top of each tier of the cake. Some appropriate ornamentation is:-

• Bride and groom miniature doll couple
• Stuffed animals, preferably cute chicks, bunnies, and squirrels
• Flower or flower petals strewn on the tops of each tier
• Artificial silk or cotton flowers
• Greeting cards from the guests and well wishers propped up on the tiers
• Ornamental leaves
• Goodies for the bride or the guests like lotions, bars of soap, perfumed bottles et cetera.
• Figurines of brides and bridesmaids
• Mementos relating to the bride’s childhood and past

You may choose your own color codes for the towels and ribbons. Just see that the various colors suit each other and the rest of the bridal shower décor perfectly. Look at our gallery of bridal shower towel cakes for some good examples.

Everybody loves Easter eggs scattered about in a party. There cannot be a more fun Easter egg at a bridal shower than a towel cake where one has inserted all kinds of trinkets, gifts, and mementos (you could even implement a towel cake in a game where you had to guess the significance of each memento found in the towel cake for the bride).
