Bridal Shower Ideas for the Couple Who Has Everything
The couple who has everything may not need new appliances or other typical bridal shower gifts. New memories are gifts a couple will remember for a lifetime, well after gift cards are spent. Think outside of the normal, choosing a bridal shower theme focused on making new memories at the start of a couple's lifetime together.

Name a Star
-
The International Star Registry sells custom, deluxe and ultimate star-naming kits. Couple's star kits are also available. Name two stars, side-by-side in the same solar system for the bride and groom. Couples receive two certificates with star names, coordinates and wedding date. Also included are charts of the solar system with dedicated stars marked in red.
Plan the bridal shower around the star theme. Hang planets from the ceiling and place glow-in-the-dark stars around the room. Serve astronaut food as appetizers and head outside for an evening of star-watching with live music and good friends.
Adopt a Highway
-
The Adopt-a-Highway program, available in most counties in the U.S., works with groups and organizations to keep roadways clean. Adopt a section of local highway for the bride and groom. A small sign hangs below the Adopt-a-Highway sign with the couple's names. The Adopt-a-Highway program requires an application and dedication to clean a one-mile stretch of road every six months.
Center the bridal shower around cleaning the length of highway dedicated to the bride and groom. After cleaning is complete, gather for a cookout. Package bridal shower gifts in small orange bags, representative of the bags used in the Adopt-a-Highway program.

Personalized Graphic Art
-
Order a picture of the bride and groom transformed into graphic art in the style of Lichtenstein or Warhol. Ask guests to email a personal photo before the bridal shower. Upload photos to an online photo editor like FotoFlexer. Create personalized graphic art for bridal shower favors. Decorate with graphic art prints and bright colors.
Zero G Flight
-
Zero G Corporation holds zero G flights in Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas and Miami, among other locations. During a zero G flight, bridal party guests gather in a Boeing 727. When the plane reaches 24,000 feet, the pilot pulls up to a 45-degree angle and the plane continues to climb to 34,000 feet. This creates the feeling of nearly two Gs. The pilot then pushes the nose of the plane over to create zero gravity. For 30 seconds, everyone will float like an astronaut. The push-over is repeated up to 15 times in one flight. To compliment the Zero G Corporation experience, gift bridal shower favors in "barf" bags.
