Heart shaped cuisine, desserts and gifts, as\u00a0well as pink, maroon and burgundy dresses and robes help reinforce\u00a0a valentine theme. Basket or box themes are also very popular. Guests\u00a0are each asked to bring a \u2018themed basket\u2019 \u2013 from\u00a0Easter candies and gifts to soaps and bath items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStock the\u00a0bar\u201d is also a classic bridal shower theme. Many times the\u00a0guests will receive the standards \u2013 beer, wine, mixers and martini glasses as well as foods made with alcohol (tasty brandy\u00a0and rum chocolates and confectionary). The bridesmaids or maids\u00a0of honor usually coordinate showers and ensure that the plans are\u00a0well though out and well in advance of the occasion.

If the bridal shower is set in a theme-specific location, decorate the setting\u00a0accordingly. Ocean themes, western themes and the like, require\u00a0a significant amount of planning in advance of the shower to make\u00a0the event a success!<\/p>\n<h2>Menu items<\/h2>\n<p>Most times, finger foods and light salads are the best way to go\u00a0with bridal showers. Light foods are easy to serve, and are generally\u00a0quite easy to prepare. Consider crab stuffed mushroom, escargot, mandarin orange salads with vinaigrette dressing, or any number\u00a0of assorted hors d\u2019oeuvres. A follow up dessert such as chocolate\u00a0\u00e9clair or shortcake is very appropriate. Again, if it is\u00a0a themed shower, consider foods and desserts which fit the theme.<\/p>\n<h2>Photos<\/h2>\n<p>Consider hiring a photographer for the shower. Lasting memories are created from having professional photos taken during a special\u00a0bridal shower.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43950\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43950\" style=\"width: 467px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-43950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/7aa524d8a9355f10d02d4db42c504d5b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/7aa524d8a9355f10d02d4db42c504d5b.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/7aa524d8a9355f10d02d4db42c504d5b-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/7aa524d8a9355f10d02d4db42c504d5b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/7aa524d8a9355f10d02d4db42c504d5b.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/7aa524d8a9355f10d02d4db42c504d5b-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/noscript> intimateweddings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"entry-content clearfix\">\n<h2>Favors, Gifts and Closure<\/h2>\n<p>It is very appropriate, and indeed, a special touch to give every\u00a0guest a small favor in order for them to remember the event.
