        Consider the housing situation of both the bride and groom. If they already own a home with a fully outfitted kitchen, plan something other than a traditional shower with gifts for the home.

        Consider the age and status of the bride. A 45-year-old professional woman might not appreciate cutesy shower games or "for-every-ribbon-you-break-you'll-have-a-baby" traditions.

      • 3

        Ask the bride and groom what they like to do together. If they are gardening buffs, create a gardening theme. Have guests bring garden tools, plants and books on gardening as gifts.

      • 4

        Consider a couples shower. Friends of the bride and groom can attend an informal barbecue or other event that will be fun for everyone.

      • 5

        Let the bride decide who should be invited to the shower. Making the guest list could be sticky, especially if there are older children, stepchildren and former in-laws involved.
