A bridal shower is possibly the most fun party for the bride apart from her wedding, so it’s important that it’s an event filled with lots of fun and centered around a really memorable theme. You can bring in the coyness and color of a bachelorette party right into the bridal shower itself, by putting on a lingerie soiree!.

Lingerie Themed Bridal Shower Invitations

The key is to make sure you tell your guests in their invitations that this is specifically a lingerie shower, so opt for invitations that are in the shapes of corsets or incorporated in the invite, or that have lots of frilly, sparkly detailing.

Lingerie Themed Bridal Shower Decorations

A lingerie shower has the ultimate feminine feel, so for decorations and food, think lots of pinks, purples, reds, blacks, and pearls, with fabrics of feather, velvet, silk, and lace.

You can have guests dress up in their favorite boudoir wear, and you can even incorporate that same look of corsets, lace, and ribbons into every aspect of your party. Think white lace flag banners, black ribbon seat ties, and fancy brassieres hanging across the venue in garland style. Feather boas serve as great décor and party favors for guests, and a pink and white striped backdrop mimicking the internationally famous lingerie brand of Victoria’s Secret are perfect additions to the shower. Dim lighting, fun chick music, and plenty of champagne add an extra dose of classiness to the event. 

Lingerie Themed Bridal Shower Games

Great games to play for a girly lingerie bridal shower are races to make a wedding dress out of toilet paper, Two Truths and A Lie: Bride Edition, pin the lingerie on the bride, and the fun “Who Has the Groom?” game. These activities are highly interactive, get everyone involved, and are sure to create lots of laughter and a fun, memorable time for all the guests.

Ice breaker games include asking guests to bring a new pair of underwear which represents their personality and everyone have to guess who brought which underwear. The best part of this game is that the bride to be gets to keep all the under wears! Another ice breaker game is a game where everyone have to design and model a lingerie for the bride to be. The guests will only have a pair of scissors and a roll of toilet roll or an old shirt or granny panties. The winner is chosen by the bride to be.

Lingerie Themed Food & Treats

A lingerie themed bridal shower cake in the form of a pretty corset is perfect, while pink frosted cupcakes garnished with candied rhinestones and pearls are a fabulous touch. Plenty of treats in the forms of sugar cookies shaped like little lingerie pieces of bras and panties, cakepops with frosted lace designs, hot pink macaroons, and black apothecary jars filled with Jordan almonds or sweet mints, are all fabulous eats that are easy to grab! Of course, you can’t forget delicious sangria and pink bubbly champagne on ice as the perfect beverages for the guests. 

A bridal shower is a once in a lifetime party to celebrate a bride-to-be in her upcoming happiness. In a sense, a bride is saying goodbye to her childhood and walking into a new life as a wife, so what better way to throw this even than with a totally nostalgic theme? A mermaid bridal shower is the perfect motif to surround the bride and her guests on her special shower day! So get those beautiful mermaid invitations sent out and get ready to give the bride a shower that she will certainly never forget.

Mermaid Bridal Shower Invitations

Set the tone with invitations that feature soft sea colors like aqua, lavender, and pearl, along with delicate details such as shells, waves, and shimmering scales. You can add fun phrases like “She’s found her pearl” or “Let’s shell-ebrate the bride-to-be” to make it feel playful and unique. Whether you choose elegant designs or something more whimsical, mermaid-themed invitations are the perfect way to give guests a glimpse of the dreamy celebration to come.

Mermaid Bridal Shower Decorations

Decorations for a mermaid themed bridal shower event are vivid, bright, and joyful, so get ready to fill the party venue full of colors and whimsical details. Glittering scaled tablecloths and mermaid tail bows for chairbacks are delightful pieces that are also unique.

Centrepieces of seashells, accents of floating candles and flowers in water bowls, and vases of rainbow-hued sand are all essential aesthetics for a mermaid bridal shower. Glimmering seashell garland, oceanic ambient lighting, and tropical music set the stage makes everyone to feel like a mermaid! Place conch shells around for guests to “hear the ocean” and set up both a mermaid photo booth complete with props, along with a stand-up for guests to stick their heads through to pose for pictures as a mermaid. Remember: you can never have enough glitz, glitter, or colors of aqua and blue reminiscent of the sea.

Food & Drinks

The food spread for a mermaid bridal party is equally as fabulous as the decorations. An oyster bar is a fantastic idea, or a general seafood one. If guests or the bride aren’t too keen on that type of food, you can always mimic your deserts to look like they came from under the sea! Clam shaped sugar cookies, mermaid cake pops, or pearly shell candies are all delectable and joyful creations that no one will soon forget.

Come up with a themed beverage that stays with the shower theme. You can’t go wrong with jars of gummy fish and a shower cake double tiered with sparkling mermaid toppers, too. It’s always a good idea to keep bridal shower food light and easy to eat, so finger fares are definitely a way to go as much as you can.

Favors & Games

Of course, you can’t forget the best part about the mermaid bridal shower—and that’s what the guests get to take home with them! Favors can be fun and girly, such as mermaid keychains, candle holders, Bath Salts, Bath Bombs, clay figurines, seashells with fortunes inside, or even a copy of The Little Mermaid movie. Gourmet treats reminiscent of mermaid princess royalty can be bagged up in little seashell shaped boxes.

You can even come up with cool prizes and favors for guests to win through bridal shower games! Stick with classic bridal shower games, but give them a mermaid twist. For example, create a Bridal Bingo or Bridal Mad Libs in the motif of mermaid imagery and words. Make something truly interactive by having guests use makeshift items to DIY a hilarious mermaid getup for the bride-to-be! There are limitless options when it comes to games, and every bridal shower should have at least two of them. Pin the fishtail on the mermaid can also be a hilarious game that everyone loves to get into.

Regardless of how bold or subtle you go with your décor, food, and fun, a mermaid themed bridal shower is sure to go down in the history books—and make one bride certainly very happy.
