Main Idea:
This theme centers around a future evening of romance for the bride and groom.
Gift Suggestions:
- Scented Candles
- Bubble Bath
- Champagne
- Lingerie
- Sheets
- Designer Soaps
- Romance novels
- Anything Romantic
Note: If focusing on lingerie, be sure to include the bride's measurements in the invitation.
Decoration Ideas:
The decorations for romantic gestures should be soft and soothing. White lights and tulle (netting) are a perfect addition to this shower. A bath gift basket could serve as a centerpiece and could later be given to the bride.
Food Tips:
This theme is best for a dessert or tea shower. A simple way to make any dessert elegant is to serve it well. Cut out hearts out of construction paper and place them on a plate. One large heart could be placed in the center or several smaller hearts around the edge. Take a small wire strainer (a regular spoon also works) full of cocoa powder or cinnamon and gently tap the edge while moving it around the plate. Try to get an even dusting of powder. Now remove the heart(s) and place your dessert on the plate. You might want to prepare the plates ahead of time and just place the desserts on them right before serving to guests. If serving a punch with ice in it, see if you can find server heart ice cube trays. Before filling the tray with water, place a strawberry in each cube spot. Then freeze. It will be a beautiful addition to the punch bowl.
Other Ideas:
Favors for this shower theme could include candles, bath beads in tulle, or a small satin satchel of potpourri. This theme is perfect for an evening shower. This is also wonderful to incorporate with a Valentine's Day theme. If it is near Valentine's Day, the stores should have lots of excellent decorations and special foods/candies to make your planning easier.
