A private home is an ideal location for this cozy theme. A rented hall is also an option.

A blender, canisters, or a teapot, are some of the designs available for your bridal shower kitchen party theme invitation. Include a blank recipe card and ask guests to fill it in with one of their favorite recipes. The day of the shower, the cards can be assembled into a small album or recipe box, to be given to the future bride or couple. Suggest guests bring a gift related to the bridal shower kitchen party theme. Including stores where the couple are registered is a big help.

If the guest of honor has picked out her kitchen colors, using these for the bridal shower kitchen party theme decorations is the perfect choice. Knowing her style is also a help. If contemporary, use solid color tablecloths and bright balloons. A country gal would like gingham and bunches of flowers. A romantic will like floral designs and candles. Pick her style and go from there. A bridal shower kitchen party theme centerpiece could be a canister filled with flowers or a utensil holder with utensils. Clear jars filled with beans or rice, and tied with a raffia ribbon, is also an option. Fresh flowers and plants scattered throughout the room will add warmth to any style. Your paper or linen goods will also add color to the overall effect.

Bridal shower kitchen party theme paper goods you may need.

Bridal shower kitchen theme dessert:

Want to play games?



• Kitchen utensil scramble...hand out sheets of paper with a list of 10 to 20 items from the kitchen whose spelling have been mixed up. The guest who guesses all items correctly, first, wins.
• What cooking?...Have some basic recipes ready. Start to read the ingredients, one by one. Guests can start guessing, from the first ingredient, until someone gets "what's cooking".
• Printable games available immediately for your kitchen theme...

Cook up some good music: This is a mellow theme, but your music doesn't have to be. Pick according to the future brides taste, and the age range of your guests. In general, it's better to keep the music playing softly in the background.
