Bridal Shower Shadow Box
A bridal shower shadow box is a unique collection of assembled memorabilia. It can be made ahead of time, and given as a gift. It could also be used as a centerpiece or table decoration, then given to the bride-to-be to take home. Either way, this is truly a special keepsake.
What is a shadow box?
It is a case enclosed in glass. It looks like a picture frame, but has depth to it, so that dimensional items will fit inside.
How are they constructed?
Usually made of wood with a glass front. The glass may slide open, or sometimes it is hinged, and lifts open.
Where are they found?
They are sold at craft stores, and online.
What memorabilia should I use?
The following are some suggestions:
• bridal shower invitation
• picture of bride or couple
• photographs of memorable times with family or friends
• party napkin
• any party theme item used at the bridal shower
• silk flowers
• lace
• card
• party favor
• poem
• words of wisdom
How do I assemble the bridal shower shadow box?
Generally, play with the items until they are pleasing to the eye. They can be angled, and also stacked, if necessary. Some shadow boxes come with velcro pieces. This makes it easy to place items. Other methods include using straight pins, glue, or hot glue to hold keepsakes in place.
Any other ideas?
Besides using bridal shower items, you can also make a gift using the party theme. For example, if it is a garden theme party, assemble gardening items like a pack of seeds, gloves, etc. You can personalize this further, by adding the name and date of the shower.
On Ebay, you may find just what you need, at a great price.
