Princess Themed Bridal Shower for Disney Brides

June 15, 2021 By //  by Gretchen Reynolds

Every bride wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day, so why not bring the royalty to your bridal shower as well? Here are a few of our favorite ideas for a princess themed bridal shower to match your stunning Cinderella gown from the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection.

Glass Slipper Decor

Perhaps the most iconic detail from the film is the famous glass slipper. This is an easy element to include in a variety of ways throughout your princess themed bridal shower. Small glass slipper cake toppers add a touch of royalty to your bridal cake, or include some regal glass slipper place holders for guests at each table.

Shimmering Tulle

One of our favorite ways to decorate for any bridal shower is with a few yards of gorgeous tulle. We recommend using white or blue shimmering tulle for your princess themed bridal shower to pair with the bride’s Cinderella gown from the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection. Not only is tulle easy to hang, it will also go nicely with other decor as well. 

Matching Tiaras

It wouldn’t be a princess bridal shower without a few sparkling tiaras! Whether the bridal shower guest list is big or small, be sure to order some fun tiaras for all of the guests to wear throughout the day. These also look great in photos and make the perfect souvenir for the bridal shower.

Royal Invitations

Invite your guests to the bridal shower with royal invites fit for any princess. Don’t be afraid to get creative with the design of your invitations. We recommend keeping the same white and blue color scheme, along with some added elements such as gold foil, glass slipper details and a gorgeous script font. Calligraphy is also a great option when addressing your invitations.

Thinking of sharing your bridal shower day with your partner instead of celebrating separately? Check out some of these important details to consider before planning your couples wedding shower!

Is a Couples Wedding Shower Right for You?

December 15, 2020 By //  by Gretchen Reynolds

2020 has been a year of new traditions – and weddings are no different. From virtual ceremonies to receptions at home, couples are finding themselves creating new traditions, including a couples wedding shower. Here are a few important details you should consider before planning a wedding shower with your partner.

Finding a Venue

Choosing the perfect venue that both you and your partner love is one of the most important aspects of planning a couples wedding shower. We recommend a location that has special meaning to each of you such as where you had your first date, where he proposed, a local restaurant you both enjoy or even your backyard if you’re on a set wedding budget. 

The Guest List

Creating a guest list for a couples wedding shower can seem complicated, especially depending on the size of your party. Be sure that you and your partner agree upon a set number of invited guests and try to have an even number from both sides. You’ll also need to decide if guests are allowed a plus-one and if children are also invited. Don’t forget to mention that it’s a couples shower on your invitations as well so guests can plan gifts accordingly. 

Gift Giving

Since your guest list will likely be longer due to a combined shower, we recommend creating a gift registry for your guests. While you can still include the traditional items like towels and kitchenware, don’t be afraid to get creative with your wish list as well. Include a few gifts for each of you such as power tools, electronics or some beautiful cashmere slippers. 

Fun Games

One of the most fun parts of any wedding shower is the games. Whether you’re hosting an indoor or outdoor couples wedding shower, there are several games to choose from. Some of our favorites include classic corn hole, charades, a scavenger hunt or couples trivia. You can also include prizes for the winners such as homemade treats, succulents and gift cards. 

Not only does a couples wedding shower allow you to share the day with your partner, you also get to celebrate your engagement together with family and friends.
