Room of the House Bridal Shower
Room of the house theme is a unique bridal shower theme. The difficulty level of implementation of this theme is moderate. So, if you want to incorporate this theme for the bridal shower party that you are hosting, then you must prioritize some work accordingly. Before talking about these priorities we will try to understand the room of the house theme first.
In this theme, the host decides the venue and it is recommended that the venue be a separate room. This theme of bridal shower has one purpose that is to gift some decorative items to the bride to decorate her new house. The host conveys this theme to the guests through his/her invitation and the guests bring gifts according to the theme. These gifts are useful for the bride to decorate the room of her new house after her wedding. Here are certain ideas which you can implement in this theme.
- Invitation cards
The best way to convey this bridal shower theme is through invitation cards. This is an indication to the guests to bring gifts in adherence to the theme. You can design your invitation card according to the theme. For example, you can put the picture of the room or of the house in the invitation card. In this picture you can color the walls and decorate the room according to the bride's wish. This will give an idea to your guests about the expectations of the bride and how she wishes to decorate her house. So, this will help the guest to bring such gifts (obviously not expensive) for the bride. Making invitation cards in the form of origami houses is a very innovative idea. If you have enough time to implement this idea then go for it without any hesitation.
- Venue
You can choose any room of your house or the bridesmaid's house. You can arrange the gifts in the room before the bride enters the room. You can take a restaurant or any hall as a venue for this theme. Rather this would be a good idea because you just have to decorate the hall. This is not an easy task though as it would require much planning in advance.
- Decoration
In this theme you do not require many items to decorate the venue. You can just keep the gifts (unpacked) that are brought by your guests in the room. You just put some centerpieces on the tables and balloons (heart shaped) can be used to decorate the room. Guests could bring some photo frames, showpieces, wall hangings, pictures and flowerpots as gifts. These gifts would reflect the theme perfectly and would delight the bride to no end.
- Food menu
There is no specific type of menu for this theme of bridal shower. You can select a general menu for this party like tea and/or coffee, wine, juices, finger foods, cookies, bridal shower cake or any dessert. You can opt for vegetable and fruit trays as an appetizer which would be liked by one and all.
- Activities
You can have any type of bridal shower activity or game for this theme. This theme does not require any specific game or activity for the bridal shower. You can give an activity in which each of your guests should tell the meaning or symbol of the given set of colors. The one who tells the perfect meaning and most number of colors can be given a gift like an ashtray or a photo frame.
- Favor
The bride should give some favors to her guests as a return gift and that should preferably match with the theme. For example, you can give artificial flowers, decorative and aromatic candles, and candle stands as favors for your guests.
There is no big hassle to implement room of the house theme for a bridal shower. You just need to be perfect while planning the different aspects of the bridal shower party.
