Room-of-the-House Bridal Shower - Similar to "around-the-clock" theme listed above; this theme requires each guest to bring a gift in relation to a specific room in house. One guest might be assigned kitchen; while another might receive bedroom. Each guest would have to choose their gift pertaining to room on invitation.Stock Bar - This theme requires each guest to bring wine, beer, spirits or liquor; which couple can use to stock their bar at home. You may want to assign each guest a different kind of liquor to ensure that couple doesn't end up with 10 bottles of tequila! The you choose will have a great impact on success of your bridal shower. Make sure theme is suitable for personality of bride; otherwise she may be disappointed with outcome. Also take into consideration types of gifts couple could most use. If they already have a stocked bar, a "stock-the-bar" shower won't be a helpful theme. The outcome of this shower may determine whether or not you're ever asked to throw another one. But remember, above all, have fun!
