Bridal Shower Poems For Invitations,
Candles and Gifts
If you want your invitations or bridal shower gifts to stand out, take a look at these tips.
Depending on your needs and the type of bridal shower you plant to host, you're sure to find ideas for creating the perfect poem and invitation combo for any event!
Candle Poem for Bridal Shower
The traditional candle poem is one of the most beloved bridal shower poems ever written.
The full text is quite lengthy, however, so consider one of these shortened versions if you'd like to fit it on your shower invitations.
"Celebrate the milestones of marriage
With this basket of candles just for you
From the first kiss to the first night
The first guests for dinner, the first big fight
Red candles for celebration
Purple, the birth of a child
Something for every "first" together
Beautiful memories for them to treasure"
Here's a second shortened version that invites guests to bring candles to the shower.
"The moments of their love
All lit by eternal flame
From the happy times to the trying ones
The love remains the same
You're invited to bring a single candle
To help light the way
For (Bride) and (Groom)
A lifetime together, always a brighter day"
If you'd like to incorporate the full poem, it makes a beautiful addition to larger bridal shower invitations. Another option? Use it as a background for your stationary. The words flowing lightly behind the text of the invitation will offer a stunning effect, particularly as a gift or keepsake for the bride-to-be.
Bridal Shower Gift Poems
These bridal shower poems will offer creative help for guests when it comes to choosing the perfect gift for the bride. Here's an example of a bridal shower gift poem with a hint for guests.
"Here's to marriage – the lucky bride and her groom
And for the happily ever after that follows the honeymoon
All they truly need is each other, but just in case there's more
Please check out the registry at (location) – it's the bride's favorite store!"
If that's not your style, consider this version. It's a bit simpler and will take up less room on a card or invitation.
"We're showing the bride
To celebrate her dream come true
For the kitchen or the bedroom
The gift is up to you!"
If you're having a theme shower, you may, of course, incorporate the theme into the poem. It should be relatively easy to include your theme if you follow this template.
"Join us for a (theme) party
To celebrate their union
The bride is registered at (store)
But her top pick is the groom!"
Stronger or more unique themes might require more creative verse, but that one will get you started. You can also take a cue from their personal passions or pursuits in creating a gift poem.
Bridal Shower Household Poem
The bridal shower household poem is another well known verse that has caused more than one bride-to-be a bit of angst while her guests roared with laughter.
While there are numerous versions, the gist of it is to tell tales about either the groom in specific or of marriage in general. Use household product brand names liberally throughout to ensure plenty of laughs. Here are some example phrases with name brand product names capitalized.
- (Groom) may be FANTASTIK in some areas, but MR. CLEAN he is not!
- There will always be another woman in (Groom)'s heart – SARAH LEE.
- Bring him good CHEER and you won't have to worry that he'll VANISH.
- Remember your PLEDGE and give him your ALL.
- One day it might DAWN on you to KRAFT a marital alliance.
- The two of you have the TOTAL package.
- The TIDE of marriage has its ups and downs.
Funny Bridal Shower Poems
If you're looking for ideas to write funny bridal shower poems, look no further! Of course you'll want to consider the bride to be (and her sense of humor) before you choose, but keep in mind who is on the guest list. You might not want to suggest anything too racy – no matter how funny it is – if there will be a lot of easily offended folks on the guest list. If that's the case, stick to lighthearted humor!
"(Bride) is marrying (Groom)
Can you believe his good luck?
Join us to shower her with gifts
(Maybe he's not such a schmuck.)"
If you'd prefer not to perform any groom-bashing, here's another option
"Congratulations to the bride and groom
They're getting married, tying the knot so soon
Shower them with gifts, enjoy the celebration
Then lock the doors while they honeymoon without cessation."
As you can see, there are plenty of ways to have fun with bridal shower poems. No matter what the bride and groom are like, they're sure to love one of these ideas for getting folks to the celebration!
