Here at Cotier Brand, we love nothing more than to host a spectacular party – especially when someone we love is tying the knot! We know you’ll be looking into every single detail of the upcoming bridal shower with a fine-tooth comb – and we don’t blame you, girl! – but this is a brief opportunity for you to sit back, relax with some teas in hand and let our creative bridal shower ideas get your creative juices flowing!
Creative Bridal Shower Ideas
From celestial themes and balloon arches to mimosa bars and quirky games, rest assured we’ve got some really creative bridal shower ideas up our sleeve! Got that cup of tea yet? Good! Let’s get started…
1. The Theme
First up on our list of creative bridal shower ideas is this awesome – and incredibly unique – theme: a celestial bridal shower. This one is typically for the ladies who love the moon, stars, and all things crystals… But if you’re one known to have an affinity with deep blues and indigos, starry night skies, and endless string lights, this unique bridal shower theme might just be the one for you, too. Think starry-themed place cards, indigo wine glasses, and a quartz crystal centerpiece to get things kicked off nicely. The rest, our friend, is up to you.
Get The Look: Pick up these super celestial menu card templates on Etsy for $6.30.
2. The Decor
Next up on our curated creative bridal shower ideas is, of course, the balloon garland. But not just any balloon garland, in fact, it’s a balloon arch. Namely so to be placed as the centerpiece to your table arrangements and nonetheless, we are HERE FOR IT. No matter what time of year it is, a balloon arch brings a certain air of elegance – not to mention, a major statement – to your bridal shower, and the best part? You can quite literally create any color combination your heart desires. Go wild, girl!

3. The Entertainment
When it comes to entertainment, we like to think of ourselves as somewhat connoisseurs, and here’s why: We create some of the most unique and creative bridal shower ideas and turn them into games! Just meet our latest creation: Who Has The Ring? Now, we know we might sound a little biased, but we know you’ll have the best time playing this game at your bridal shower! How to play, we hear you say? Read on to find out more…
Required Materials: One box of Who Has The Ring? from Amazon.
Game Length: 5 minutes.
Prep: Hide each of the 30 cards under seats and other furniture before guests start to arrive at the bridal shower.
Instructions:
- Hide one card under each chair or seat available at the venue.
- Ask all of the guests to look under their chairs and find their own scratch off card.
- Once found, ask them to scratch off their cards to reveal what’s underneath.
- The guest that finds the word ‘WINNER’ on their card must shout out, “I DO!” and they win a prize!

4. The Food
When it comes to thinking up creative bridal shower ideas, we absolutely have to include the food – yep, it’s a no-brainer really. However, what most of us don’t consider is that aside from the buffet or the three-course meal prepared ahead of time, there isn’t a huge amount of playfulness with food at bridal showers. This is where our delightful Ice Cream Bar comes in! It’s something that can easily become another form of entertainment for your guests – which is no doubt a win-win right?! – so, in other words, it’s a must-have. Ice-ice baby!

5. The Bar
Okay, so who doesn’t love a Mimosa bar? Especially at a bridal shower? Even if you’re not a drinker, the very act of making yourself a lovely mocktail – or cocktail for those who do enjoy a drink – is such a lovely activity to enjoy. This is exactly why a Mimosa bar is one of our favorite creative bridal shower ideas and why we want to share it with you. Simply pick up Cotier Brand’s very own Mimosa Bar Kit, set up your bar station and you’re ready to get the party started – juice and all!

6. The Favors
While traditionally speaking flowers are reserved for the bride on her wedding day, why not flip the script and offer a 2-for-1 activity and party favor at your bridal shower, guaranteed to spoil your guests? Intrigued? We thought so! Set up a flower station with an array of different plants and flowers along with plenty of string, paper, and any other accessories you’d like to add. The being of the game is to make the best bouquet from scratch – but at the end of the day, all of your guests are winners and get to take their bouquet home with them!
