For a Time of Day or Around the Clock shower, the hostess assigns each guest an time of the day or a specific hour of day. Your guests task is to find an appropriate gift for that time. You will want to inform your guests of their time of day in their bridal shower invitation as well as possibly provide them with some gift ideas that would fit their assigned time. You can provide your guests with small tags noted with their assigned time or ask them to add a tag to indicate their time as the bride will open her gifts in a specific order. Invite your guests to include a short note explaining what they think the bride will be doing at their designated time. These notes are usually funny rather than serious and can liven up the gift opening. With either the Time of Day or Around the Clock bridal shower, the bride opens her gifts in order, from morning to night. Morning Shower Gift Ideas: makeup mirror, coffee maker, coffee mugs and tree, banana tree, waffle iron, juicer, tea kettle, bathrobe, newspaper subscription, omelette pan, muffin pans Afternoon Shower Gift Ideas: day planner, address book, calculator, earrings, necklace, bracelet, watch, purse, books on tape, wallet, briefcase, radio, under the counter TV, music CD's, picnic basket Evening Shower Gift Ideas: bottle of wine, wine flutes, beer steins, board games, computer games, cookbook, crock pot, Nesco roaster, blender, theater or movie tickets, gift certificate for massage, lingerie, aromatherapy candles and bath salts
Book Shower For the couple who loves to read, a book shower is a great shower theme for the encore bride. Select your decorations and invitations to match your book theme. Gift ideas could include recipe books, dictionary, thesaurus, gardening, house plants, small home repair, journal or diary, address book, magazine subscription, quilting book, anything that your guest may think will interest the bride and groom. Honeymoon or Travel Shower A honeymoon shower is the perfect way to say "bon voyage" to the happy couple. A bridal shower with a honeymoon theme is a great theme idea for the encore bride or a couples shower. Plan your shower with your bride and groom's honeymoon destination in mind, featuring culinary delights from that region of the world. Select your invitations, decorations, center pieces, favors, and menu to compliment your bride and groom's destination in mind. For example, if your happy couples destination is a tropical island, you can theme your invitations to be tropical or "beachy". Table centerpieces can include candles, seashells, sand and sand dollars in a smaller glass bowl. Search for favors with a tropical flare, how about 5x7 photo frames with a beach scene. Top off your event with some tropical or beach background music. Encourage your guest to center their gifts around the honeymoon or travel theme:
It is not necessary to have a particular decorating theme as your party itself is the theme. You may want to include an insert with your invitations to inform your guests of the shower theme and provide some gift ideas for them:
