Decorate everything to be as radiant and sparkly as possible, even ensuring that the drinks are “sparkling” and bubbly.

Book bonanza
For a bride that always has her nose in a book, turn her shower into a library to make all of her dreams come true! Besides kitchenware and other home accessories, a couple that enjoys books will want to equip their home with those, too. Send out library cards or bookmarks as invitations, have every guest bring their favorite book as a gift, and allow everyone to make custom bookplates as a shower game and you have yourself a bookish themed party!
Honeymoon shower

If she’ll be visiting the islands, give the party a tropical theme or make it a luau.
