A Kitchen Themed Shower for Your Bride-to-be

With all the weddings going on at the moment we thought we'd lend a hand to those planning a bridal shower with this fun kitchen theme!

If the bride-to-be is addicted to the Food Network and has a pile of Gourmet magazines sitting by the door, a kitchen-themed bridal shower might be right up her alley.

Some ideas to get you going:
The invitations:
Use a cooking themed invitation or modify recipe cards with the time, address, and instructions. See below for gift theme suggestions you can include with the invitations.

The gifts:
How about giving your guests a theme for their gifts? Ask groups of guests to bring a favourite recipe and create a collection of them for the bride. Just make sure that if you are asking for themed gifts, you make it clear on the invitations.

The food:
In keeping with the theme, we think that providing appetisers and desserts that require a bit of interaction are interesting (and keeps you out of the kitchen all day!). Try fondue, a hamburger slider bar or decorate-your-own sugar cookies.

Here's the colour palette we would use to bring this theme to life:

What do you think of this theme? Will you be using it for your bride-to-be's shower? If you do, upload the pictures to our Facebook page we'd love to see how yours turns out!
