HOW TO PLAN A TROPICAL THEME BRIDAL SHOWER
by www.ebweddingfavors.com
A tropical-themed bridal shower is a wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming marriage a bride and groom who will be spending their honeymoon in a tropical locale, getting married on the beach or even if they just happen to love the sand, sea and surf. There are just a few ideas and creative decorations to assist in creating that truly elegant and fun atmosphere than comes from the tropical locales of Bermuda and beyond for your guest of honor and her family and friends in attendance.
Follow our advice on HOW TO PLAN A BRIDAL SHOWER while implementing the following:
1. ESTABLISH YOUR COLOR SCHEME - The Tropical theme, depending on which tropics you are seeking, can evoke the hues of bright fuschia, turquoise blue, golden yellows and bright greens. Plan on using this or a similar family of colors to complete your decorations and décor for the bridal shower.
2. INVITATIONS – Choose to purchase or make invitations with the theme of the Tropics or Beach designs such as artwork with waves, sea shells, beach flip-flops, palm trees, lighthouses or sail boats on the invitation, in paper colors of white with blues, bright pinks, yellows, oranges or greens.
3. CAKE/DESSERT – Talk with your local baker about your Tropical themed bridal shower. Perhaps they have suggestions on something they could create for you that would complement your bridal shower theme – a cake that looks like a Seashell or Beach Chair or intricately flip-flop sandal or sailboat cookies to be served as dessert with a delicious after meal pina colada. There are so many possibilities these days with desserts that include cakes, pastries or chocolates, so ask the people in those industries for their opinions and ideas.
4. CENTERPIECES – Talk with your local craft store clerk or favorite florist about your theme. They may have some great ideas about implementing the Tropical Beach theme into the centerpieces that you may like including sand, seashells and votive candles.
5. FAVORS – There are so many beautiful and fun Tropical themed wedding favors to have for your guests – seashell candles, beach flip-flop keychains more. You can see all the selections at www.ebweddingfavors.com
6. DECORATIONS – Order a special table or wall banner for the bridal shower with fun tropical fonts and hand-painted ocean waves, palm trees, seashells or the silver outline of a beautiful beach scene. These can be ordered from www.eventbelladesigns.com
7. DÉCOR – Once you have established your color schemes, browse your local fabric stores for bolts of discount fabric in the colors you have chosen. With any luck you’ll be able to purchase a bolt of fabric that will drape the front of the important tables at the shower in your chosen colors and add that extra element of décor. See how to drape tables below.
8. FUN IDEAS – Name each guest table after a beach or tropical locale the couple has visited or intends to visit on their honeymoon. Have each of the guests at that table put their names into an envelope. Once every few minutes while the bride is opening her gifts, announce that it is time for someone from the “Cayman Islands” to win a prize and have the bride pick a name from that envelope.
Then this guest will receive a special gift, such as a gourmet food basket, spa gift basket, gardening gift basket or coffee themed gift basket. This is a great, easy and fun way to honor your guests and pass the time while the bride is opening gifts. You may find these gift baskets at www.ourgiftbasketshop.comThey offer free ground shipping and you can have them shipped directly to you in time for the bridal shower.

Timely Topic: What is Non-Skid Backing and do I need this?
Non-skid backing is recommended on hard INDOOR surfaces,
such as wood, tile, marble and slate flooring. While we
do recommend non-skid backing on those floor styles,
we do not accept any responsibility for the performance
of the non-skid backing.
** If you opt not to add the non-skid backing to your
aisle runner, please secure the beginning and end of
aisle runner with a double-sided carpet tape, preferable
unrolling the aisle runner prior to the start of
guests arriving. Then guests should enter their seats
from the outer sides saving the displayed aisle runner
for the bridal party only.

Below are some comments from our past clients:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the runner
you made for me. It was beautiful as well as
wonderfully made. It lay on the carpet perfectly,
did not move, even with grandmothers with canes
and walkers going down it! I was amazed. Thank you for
providing such an exceptional product. I will recommend
your company to all!
- Sally M., South Carolina

The runner arrived on Saturday and it is beautiful! I
think it will really make the wedding look stunning with
the rest of the black and ivory decor. Thank you so much
for the awesome customer service and prompt shipping.
I have already recommended you to someone who asked about it.
Thanks again, Deb H., Idaho
**********
Thank you for the beautiful menu cards, ceremony programs
and favor seals you made for my wedding. I loved that you were able
to use our wedding logo on all of the items you made for us!
Thank you and your terrific staff for all of their help!
- Sarah H., New York

We just wanted to write and thank you and your staff for
the fantastic customer service we received while designing our
custom aisle runner with you all. Your staff was so kind
and helpful and the aisle runner was the most talked about
item at our wedding! It was so beautiful!!!
- Georgia & Kenneth F., California

We just returned from the honeymoon. I wanted to take a
moment and thank you for the great job you did on the runner.
I myself am a professional artist and had originally
planned to paint my own runner, but the cost of materials
alone would have amounted to more than the beautiful
piece I purchased from you! And the quality was amazing.
I had to correct several people who thought I had done
the work myself because of how clear and thorough the
detail was! You really outdid yourselves, it was so impressive!!!
And even in the stone courtyard, with occasional gusts
of wind from large planes landing in the Monterey Airport
(on the other side of the big stone wall) it stayed in place perfectly!!!
I have included a picture which you are welcome to use as an example on the website.
Hopefully it'll get you even more customers. You deserve it!!!
Thank you for saving me valuable time and money during the wedding process,
I'm blown away (but the aisle runner wasn't!!!).
-Annie
