The best and most popular theme for any event is without a doubt a 20’s inspired extravaganza. A 20’s theme is fun, glitzy, glamorous, and full of a little bit of something for everyone. Between the dancing, elaborate outfits, and lavish eats, a 20’s theme works especially well for a bridal shower. Here, the bride and all her favorite girls get to spend a few hours celebrating in the utmost style and excitement.

Blacks, reds, whites, silvers, and golds offer pops of posh color and they blend so well with all décor, food, and favors. Accents of feathers, sequins, and fringe mix and match just as easily and pack a bold punch. Sensory overload is exactly what you want for a 20’s inspired bridal shower, so spare nothing when it comes to fizzles, suds, and pops! Champagne should absolutely be the drink of choice, with garnishes of zesty limes and lemons curled up. Have the guests dress in flapper attire and have roaring 20’s music on hand to play while the shower is going on. Skip the floral arrangements and opt for gigantic centerpieces of tall black and red feathers in rhinestone embellished vases. Glittering engagement ring garland and white boas for everyone to wear will surely make the bride herself smile from ear to ear.

If ever there was a time to go all out with an event cake, this is it. Have a masterpiece of a bridal shower cake ready, complete with congratulations to the bride in the frosting and a sparkler topper. Sugar cookies in the form of flapper dresses, cupcakes in martini flavors, and black hatboxes full of pearl candies and white chocolate dipped oreos are perfect for everyone’s sweet tooth.

Of course, no 20’s bridal shower is complete without an appropriate photo booth to record all the lasting memories.

Recipe Bridal Shower Invitations

Bridal showers are a way to celebrate a lifetime love for the bride-to-be, so what’s better for a party theme than to focus on recipes? Whether it’s cooking or baking, recipes for any type of food are full of love—just as a wedding is! So get your invitations sent out and be sure to ask your guests to bring a card with their favorite recipe written down to give to the bride as an addition to her own new recipes as she starts on her journey as a wife!

For decorations, stick with a “Recipe for a Happy Marriage” or “Recipe for Love” direction. Miniature chalkboards set up around the venue with recipes for sweet, romantic treats are perfect themed accents, while recipe cards at guest tables are great for guests to write down well wishes for the bride. Floral arrangements in pale shades of yellows and pinks are beautiful as centerpieces, and guest favors of cookie ingredient-filled mason jars at each place setting are a wonderful touch. White, doily lace tablecloths with burlap runners or chair sashes lend an extra bout of class to the theme as well. Fun recipe books—old and new alike—are also really great to have lying around for not only a theme look, but also because guests love to flip through these and have conversations about some of their favorite dishes.

Sweet treats such as classic cupcakes, sugar cookies, brownie bites, and lemon tartlets are must haves, along with a simple looking cake with rich flavor. Ask the bride for her and her groom’s favorite brunch recipe and have these recipes out for the guests to enjoy. Use the recipe theme to put together a guest activity, such as baking or cooking a simple recipe together. Give your guests a monogrammed apron that can also pose as a party favor, and for an extra dose of smiles, break out some silly chef hats.
