There is obviously a divide between those who love bridal shower games and those who would rather have something plucked than sit through yet another boring bridal shower game. I for one love those silly games…well maybe not the drop-a-potato-from-your-knees-into-a-small-paper-bag game! There is fun and then there is humiliation! Either way, this bridal shower idea is perfect for everyone!
When you send out the bridal shower invitations, include a couple of beautiful recipe cards and ask the person invited to write down their favorite recipe for the bride-to-be and request that they bring it with them to the shower. When the guest arrives, add her recipe card to a beautifully decorated basket. Make sure they have included their name on the card. At the end of the shower, pull one card from the basket for a door prize or maybe one of the centerpieces to take home. Then present the basket to the bride-to-be.
This is a great idea if you are having a kitchen shower. Or, you could tweak it to include index cards with marriage advice instead. Pick a theme and make it your own keeping the bride’s interests in mind.
