Clearly, the hostess left no proverbial stone unturned! The butterfly theme is alive and well with the duo of elegant butterflies set as accents on simple white vases. Look closely and you'll discover that the remaining items match the colors but don't actually have butterflies on them. This photo is an outstanding example of how to work a theme with use of color! For more on decorating, consider these ideas.
To enhance the butterfly theme, consider butterfly place card favor boxes. Not only are they practical for use – particularly at larger bridal showers – but they'll also hold a few after dinner mints or other treats for guests. If you don't need place cards, consider setting them up at the buffet to label food offerings.
When you set the table, you can enhance the butterfly theme by including a butterfly cup and saucer set at each place setting. If there are too many guests to provide one for each, use them as accent pieces for the table. Float a small votive in each one to match your party colors.
Make use of candles. They're available in almost any color, so you can match your theme perfectly. For a dramatic touch, arrange groupings of candles in different shades of the same color. Float votives in bowls or arrange flowers around tapers to enhance the feel of the butterfly garden.
If guests will be seated, cut paper placemats in the shape of butterflies for each table setting. You can employ the same technique on a buffet table if you'd prefer.
Add a whimsical, personal touch by making use of the bride's first initial as you see in the photograph above. Large block letters make great table décor, and dressing up drinkware is as simple as adding a small tag to the cups. For added fun, write the initial on a butterfly before affixing it to each glass.
Food
Add one of these unconventional accents to your butterfly bridal shower themed ideas on the food table for a fun look! Whether your event is catered or home spun, these creative ways to make use of the butterfly motif make tasty additions to your table.
Before the party, use the butterfly cookie cutter favors to create unique shapes out of the bride's favorite foods. Finger sandwiches, slices of watermelon or apples, brownies, and – yes – cookies can all be cut to fit your theme. After you've turned the food into art, you can arrange the clean cookie cutters on the table as really cool accents to your décor.
Another way to compliment your bridal shower theme ideas is with themed designer cookies. Choose the style that best matches your colors and you'll make a big impact with these edible treats.
Add cupcakes or non-traditional goodies to butterfly cupcake wrappers. A perfect fit to your bridal shower theme ideas, the guests will think they're at a Martha Stewart bridal shower!
Games
What's a bridal shower without games? These ideas take it one step further with bridal shower theme games to keep the good times rolling.
Bridal shower bingo is a party game everyone can appreciate. One of the best loved games of generations young and old, it's a great ice breaker that can get downright rowdy with the right crowd. Keep it theme friendly by using small candies in colors to match your decorations as markers.
Themed playing cards with personalized labels offer limitless entertainment for everyone at the party. Everything from Poker to Go Fish is on the table, and with a personalized deck it's sure to be an unforgettable match!
Have a little fun and get to know the bride-to-be better with the bridal shower trivia game. These clever scratch off trivia cards implore guests to answer questions about the engaged couple, and you can bet on laughter to follow!
Make things interesting by inviting guests to bring along lingerie to match the party color or butterfly theme. Place all of the items into a large bag and have guests take turns drawing one out. The party guests are then challenged to guess which garment belongs to which guest. This game is a riot, but make sure you don't have any children on the guest list before playing!
Party Favors
Send a little remembrance of your bridal shower theme ideas home with your guests with one of these party favors.
Butterflies and flowers are an unbeatable combination, so you can bet that BloemBox flower seeds will be the hit of your party favor table! Each stunning box features a bloom with the option to add a butterfly. These pretty boxes come with a plantable seed ribbon so the beauty of the bridal shower will continue long into the season.
Personalized butterfly seed favors feature a plantable butterfly shape on a beautifully arranged card. Both elegant and eco-friendly, it's the perfect bridal shower favor to offer on behalf of the modern bride-to-be.
For smaller showers, have plenty of butterfly and flowers disposable cameras on hand. Write each attendee's name on a camera and instruct guests to use the cameras to capture candid photos of one another. Make sure each photo includes the person whose name is written on the camera and allow the guest to take her camera home at the end of the night. Friends and loved ones will have a blast "seeing what develops" later!
A bridal shower is a once in a lifetime event, so make it an unforgettable one with these bridal shower theme ideas. There's no better way to celebrate the bride's big day than with good friends and stunning decorations courtesy of your clever butterfly décor!
