Pink Bridal Shower Theme

A Pink Bridal Shower Theme is a perfect choice for this time of year. It's a favorite Spring color. It's also perfect for the girly girl or romantic bride. So, let's start the plans for this colorful party.

Start with your invitations. Choose one that announces your theme, by using it as your main or accent color. Possible designs could be a rose, lipstick, a bow, or any symbol that relates to the guest of honor. Let guests know if you would like them to come dressed in pink.

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 a colorful atmosphere is easy. Hang balloons and streamers for instant impact. White works well with pink, if you want to use a second color. Tablecloths,
pink bridal shower theme paper goods, flowers, and soft candles can add to your overall feel. You can also use your bridal shower favors on the tables, as part of your decorations. This

Pink Theme Food choices. Depending on whether you're serving a full meal, simple snacks, or just dessert, try to add your color. Choose what works best for your event.

Snacks:
Sit out fruit platters with watermelon slices as the main attraction.
Have bowls of pink candy set around the room.
