5 Whimsical Bridal Shower Theme Ideas for the Beach!

 

1. Serve beach-themed cocktails

 

What’s a party without cocktails? And a bridal shower is incomplete without one!There are dozens of colorful cocktails and mocktails out there that are perfect for a beach bridal shower theme.  Blue, orange, red, pink and green colors are tons of fun.  If you have the ability to make some frozen drinks, those bring the beach theme together even better.  Invest in fun glasses to serve them in, along with the classic chunks of fresh fruit on paper umbrella picks in the corner.

 

2. Make it a “day spa” themed party

 

 You can grab some easy to make recipes online for things like foot scrubs, or you can simply grab several bright colors of nail polish and make it a fun manicure or pedicure party.  A day spa or mani/pedi party are both perfect for a beach theme since you want your skin and nails to be gorgeous when out on the beach.

 

3. Decorate flip-flop in the bridal colors

 

If your crew loves to craft, this is a fun take-home favor that also celebrates the bride to be.  Inexpensive flip flops found at the local craft store along with ribbon and tulle in the bridal colors make great easy to assemble favors for your guests to take home.

 

4. Serve traditional tropical foods

 

 Alongside your fun beach themed cocktails you can enjoy things like a traditional Hawaiian lunch box meal.  Serve steamed rice, Kaluha pork, Teriyaki chicken and classic macaroni salad for a fun and delicious meal that pays homage to the beaches of Oahu and Maui.

 

5. Use easy beach themed decorations

 

Seashells, blue and white colored glass beads, tiki torches and similar are perfect for decorating the party location.  Blue and white bring about that beach theme with ease.  You can even add in some seafoam green, little vials of sand and special seashells on the tables for added effect.  For the frugal planner, the dollar stores will carry simple glass jars and bowls you can place sand or glass beads into and create a fun centrepiece with seashells or fragrant flowers.

These whimsical beach bridal shower theme ideas are sure to make the bride-to-be feel wonderful.  Work around her bridal colors to give it a more intimate and unique feel.  Consult about favorite foods, drinks and desserts to really match the feel she would enjoy.
