Halloween Theme Bridal Shower

A Halloween Theme Bridal Shower is a fun choice for this time of year. It can be also be a great couples shower theme. So, let's start the plans for this "Spooktacular" party.

Start with your invitations. Choose one that announces your theme. A ghost, pumpkin, or witch, are all possible designs. Let guests know if you would like them to come in costume.

Location: this can be held indoors or out, and will depend on the weather in your area. A rented hall, private home, or outside pavillion are just some of your choices.

Decorations: creating the atmosphere of a haunted house is a great idea. Hang spider webs, ghosts, and bats. Sit tombstones and skeletons around the area. Black and orange can be the main colors for balloons and streamers. Add yellow, white midnight blue, and green, as accent colors.


Halloween theme bridal shower paper goods with a design, add to your overall feel. Use pumpkin shaped bowls for snacks.

Candles, potpourri, and leaf shaped soaps are some of the Fall favors
to give to guests as a "Thank You".
