| So glad you started this thread! I have to throw a shower closer to fall but its good to get a head start. I think I am going to have a small deli cater deserts and I will make finger sandwiches, and cold salads. (I can't bake to save my life ) Pretty much all I have planed is the food! The games are a great idea and I think a theme would be really cool. If your friend is getting married on the beach you could have a "sandals and tank top" only shower. Have little umbrellas in drinks and a fruit bowl. Sorry I am not much help! Good luck Mandee!

You can get a recipe box and have each person write a fav recipe on it for her... Tell the guest ahead of time so they know what recipe they want to bring. Have some one close to her if they will write who gave what to her so she has a list of gifts and who gave it to her to write thank you cards.

| One game we played at my friend's shower was a "How well do you know your future hubby?" You ask the groom a bunch of questions about himself, his likes, dislikes, etc ahead of time. And then at the shower, you ask the bride those same questions. For every one she gets wrong, she has to chew a piece of bubble gum. That's always a bunch of fun! Also..you can do an interactive game with the guests where you give them all a piece of paper and a pen and have them answer questions about the bride. The one with the most wins a small prize. Ask the guests to email you a couple of their favorite pictures of the bride and make a video montage or a scrapbook with them for her!

I have a recipe "book" that my family put together for me as a shower present and I love it! Definitely have someone make a gift list because she will be at a loss without it! Also regarding thank you cards; pass the envelopes out to each shower guest and ask them to address them...this will save the bride many headaches and also will ensure every guest will receive a "thank you" card. Themed showers are fun! The tank top and flip flops idea was adorable!

| At my son and DIL's shower, the gift table was decorated with framed pictures of them as children. So cute! Also, since it was a shower, there were children's umbrellas decorated with ribbons and flowers everywhere! It really looked good

| Aww thanks! Its quite easy to do. The hardest part IMO is makin that darn bow lol Personal Shower.... Drop Your Panties at the Door -- Have each person bring a pair new panties and drop them at the door. Dont let the Bride to Be see..... (I had a bag that I decorated that said - Drop Your Panties Here) Then have a clothesline hung up .... after everyone arrives and a few games are played... take the panties out and hang them on the clothesline. Have the Bride to Be guess which ones were brought by who and for every correct guess she keeps the panties --- of course she keeps all of them at the end I have pics ... I can email... dont think they are appropriate to post here? Then here is my twist on Pin the Manhood on the man... I get the bride to be to furnish me with a pic of the future hubby.... Blow it up HUGE!!! then take long balloons (one to make animals) and use those with double sided tape! Lots of fun and laughs!
