Any ideas for a theme for a good friend's bridal shower? And can you give specific games/activities?

Question

She's into lots of girly and glam stuff. She's as finicky as moi Ü She's lots of fun and has a great personality that works with anybody. Since her weddings' gonna be with pixies and fairies thus lots of soothing and shimmering pastels,, i was thinking of taking the bridal shower to a totally different direction ~ think, Hollywood Glam! Any inputs?

Answer 1

Answer 2

as far as games go...here are some i remember from mine
they did a questionaire about me for everyone to fill out with questions like "what celebrity would she leave her fiance for" or "what is her bra size" ect..what ever trivia type things you can come up with. Whoever gets the most right gets a prize. Also as I was opening my shower gifts my best friend wrote down everything I said for each one. of couse there were a lot of oooh and aaahs, as their always are, along with "oh thats so soft, oh my God, it's so pretty!" ect (it was a silky robe btw) and after she read back every thing I had uttered, with the title "What her wedding night will sound like" It was funny and a cute activity that everyone gets a kick out of. We also played two truths and a lie, where everyone sais three facts about themselves and everyone else has to guess which fact is a lie. this is good if their are going to be many people who might not know each other(female relatives from his side for example) and is especially good for an ice breaker kind of thing. We also each had a card stuck to our backs for one game, that had one half of a celebrity couple on it and we had to ask people yes or no questions about who we were, we had to figure out who we were and then find our other halfs. That was kinda fun too. any way, sky's the limit. have fun.

Try a red carpet bridal shower. Pick a glam site to host it, roll out the red carpet, have champagne, an ice sculpture, pics and life size cut-outs of celebrities posted around, and dont forget to designate some of the guest to be the media. Hand out disposable cameras to a few of the guest and have them act like the paparazzi. After the shower, collect all the cameras, develop them and present her with a hollywood-style scrap book of her bridal shower. (Remember to trash the stripper photos so her hubby doesnt see them!) Have everyone dress up like they were going to the Oscars, in formal wear. This can be as expensive or inexpensive as you wish. Sew tulle underneath a long dress to make it stand out like a full skirt. Wrap cheap glittery scarves around an ordinary dress to glam it up. Go to any walmart and purchase huge (fake) diamond rings, earrings, necklaces, etc. to hand out at the door, like they are on rent from Tiffany's. You can find these in the jewelery dept., they are made out of plastic and are about 1.00 each. As for games, have a modeling show-down, where everyone struts their stuff down the runway while the "media" snaps photos. Designate judges and whoever wins, award them with a fake tropy (Oscar), which can be found at most party stores. Play a game of Hollywood Squares where all the questions are about the bride to be, but try not to embarras her too bad. Good luck! Man i wish i were there to help you, i live for this stuff. I have plenty more ideas so if you need any more help just email me! I'll be glad to share my ideas with you.

You could go with a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed shower after the famous movie. You could play games that center around the bride. Make her the star of the shower.
