How to Host a Room of the House Bridal Shower

A room of the house bridal shower is perfect for the new bride who is moving into a new home with her future groom. This is a great theme for the bride that loves decorating or television “home makeover” shows. Fill the bride’s home with warmth and happy memories by having each guest bring her a gift for every room of the house. She will remember this shower for a very long time, for sure.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Create a guest list and select a date for the room of the house bridal shower. Now that you have made decisions on these two items, you can find a great place to hold the bridal shower.
2. The perfect place to hold a room of the house bridal shower is in someone’s home, so the bride can see just how beautiful all of her new gifts will look in a home. This shower could also be held at a local restaurant or historic landmark.
3. Find invitations to match the theme. Look for pretty invitations that feature homes and decorating, or make your own with blank cardstock and a great photo of a decorative home item.
4. Ask guests to give the bride a gift from a specific room of the house. Mention to the guests where the bride is registered so they have a good idea of the bride’s taste and style.
5. Create decorations for the shower, such as signs that say “Home Sweet Home” or “Home Is Where The Heart Is.” Hang these signs around the shower area with festive balloons.
6. Make centerpieces for the table that compliment the theme; dollhouse furniture could make an attractive centerpiece. Seat guests at tables according to which room they have been given.
7. Send guests a thank you note with a photo of the newly decorated room that includes the items they have given.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the bride is registered for items for each room of the house. It will be hard for guests to select a gift for a room if they are uncertain what she would like.
• Also ask the bride to register for a wide variety of gifts in different price ranges. Guests should feel that they have some choice in what they can select.
• Design a fun bridal shower game about home decorating tips. Ask guests to share their favorite home decorating tips.
