A bridal shower kitchen party theme is an event with general appeal. It is definitely useful for those just starting out. It will also help those who may already have starter items but would like to add additional pieces.
Dishes, pots, and pans are just the beginning. There are so many other items that would be appreciated. Anything from a small utensil, to a large appliance. So, let's get cooking!
• A private home is an ideal location for this cozy theme.
A rented hall is also an option.
• A blender, canisters, or a teapot, are some of the designs available for your bridal shower kitchen party theme invitations. Include a blank recipe card and ask guests to fill it in with one of their favorite recipes. The day of the shower, the cards can be assembled into a small album or recipe box, to be given to the future bride or couple. Suggest guests bring a gift related to the party theme. Including stores where the couple are registered is a big help.
• If the guest of honor has picked out her kitchen colors, using these
for the bridal shower kitchen party theme decorations
is the perfect choice. Knowing her style is also a help. If
contemporary, use solid color tablecloths and bright balloons. A country
gal would like gingham and bunches of flowers. A romantic will like
floral designs and candles. Pick her style and go from there. A bridal
shower kitchen party theme centerpiece could be a canister filled with
flowers or a utensil holder with utensils. Clear jars filled with beans
or rice, and tied with a raffia ribbon, is also an option. Fresh flowers
and plants scattered throughout the room will add warmth to any style.
Your paper or linen goods will also add color to the overall
effect.
Want to play games?
• This deluxe game kit includes five activities for up to 12 people
• Kitchen utensil scramble...hand out sheets of paper with a list of 10 to 20 items from the kitchen whose spelling have been mixed up. The guest who guesses all items correctly, first, wins.
• What cooking?...Have some basic recipes ready. Start to read the ingredients, one by one. Guests can start guessing, from the first ingredient, until someone gets "what's cooking".
Cook up some good music: This is a mellow theme, but your
music
doesn't have to be. Pick according to the future brides taste, and the
age range of your guests. In general, it's better to keep the music
playing softly in the background.
