Throwing a Bridal Shower
A
Craft Bridal Shower: Have Some Fun
A
bridal craft shower can be a great way to have a fun time while
learning a new skill, too. There are many ways a hostess
can throw a craft bridal shower. Party guests can make something
that the bride can use in her new home, make wedding decorations
or just get together to have a good time. Everyone can appreciate
learning a new crafting technique. These parties can be versatile
because they can be hosted in a home or many craft supplies
stores can host a craft party for nearly any occasion.
A craft bridal shower is best suited for brides that do not
mind not having a traditional shower. Ask the bride-to-be before
planning a party and find out what kind of crafts interests
her. Tailor the party around her preferences and this will
ensure that everyone will have a good time. Another good idea
when hosting a craft bridal shower is to put on the invitation
that crafts are going to be made. Guest can be prepared and
know what kind of clothing to wear and what kind of supplies
they need to bring, too.
Craft
bridal showers can be easily held at a home or at another
location. If you choose to have the shower in a home, make
certain that there is plenty of room. Cover work surfaces and
make sure that floors will not get ruined if paint or glue
is spilled. Consider hiring someone that specializes in a certain
technique to come to your home to teach. If you decide that
it would be more practical to hold the shower in another location,
look into rooms that can be rented for a minimal price. Recreation
centers are often a perfect choice because they offer large
rooms with lots of tables and chairs. Also, look into sewing
stores or craft supply stores. Many of these locations have
rooms available for rent or offer classes.
There are many fun and interesting ideas for anyone wanting
to host a craft bridal shower. Here are some ideas that will
make any guests and the bride have a great time.
Pottery
painting: Pottery painting is a terrific way to hold
a craft bridal shower. There are many places that specialize
in pottery painting and hold classes. Guests can choose almost
anything they would like to paint ranging from frames, vases,
bowls and plates. If the bride has specific colors for her
new kitchen, consider having everyone paint a dinner plate
to add to her collection. If guests prefer taking their new
treasure home, think about painting one large serving platter
for the bride and let everyone help decorate. This will be
useful and she will always remember those who attended her
shower.
Sewing
classes: Almost anyone can benefit from learning basic
sewing techniques. If most of your guests are interested in
sewing, consider taking a sewing class as the shower. Most
fabric stores and sewing centers offer classes for the beginner
and for the more advanced. You do not have to just learn to
sew a skirt, either. Take a class to learn how to make fashionable
tote bags and purses, scarves and hats and even quilts. You
can even host a quilting party at home. Have each guest decorate
one or two squares and then have someone quilt them together.
The new bride will always treasure a handmade quilt.
Floral
arrangement: With the right supplies, learning to make
pretty floral arrangements can be easy and fun. Gather up supplies
and spend an evening making table centerpieces for the wedding
reception. If the bride wants handmade items for her wedding,
you can also have guests help make pew bows and floral arrangements
and even the boutonnieres for the men in the wedding party.
Not only will it be a memorable experience for the bride and
the shower guests, but it saves her money and is practical
as well.
Scrapbooking
and card making: Many people enjoy scrapbooking
and card making. Host a bridal shower at a scrapbook store
and have a teacher available to teach those who may be beginners.
Another idea is to gather pictures of the new bride and groom
and everyone make a page for her to keep. This is a great memento
and she can continue the scrapbook after the wedding.
The ideas for hosting a craft bridal shower are endless. These
types of showers can be a great way for the bride and the shower
guests to learn a new crafting technique while having a memorable
time together.
