If you’re hosting a bridal shower for a family or friend, you know the amount of work that can go into the planning. You want to make the bride feel so very special that day, but you also aren’t planning a mini wedding here so there’s no need to stress yourself out with over the top expenses.
A few personal touches and inexpensive pieces of bridal shower decorations can go a long way in making a big impact. We’ve found some pretty awesome but inexpensive items that can be used as decorations for the next bridal shower you host. Shop them here.
These hand-painted mason jars make decorating easy. You can fill them with water and whatever flowers you’d like. Most grocery stores like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods sell high quality floral for a reasonable cost so you can skip the florist on this particular occasion. You can purchase these in sets of three, four or five depending on how many tables you have.
We’re hopping on the metallic letter balloon bandwagon with this pick. There’s a reason these fun gold balloons are super trendy right now. They add a fun flare and a celebratory feel to just about any occasion. They also serve as a great backdrop or space filler, which makes them a great piece of decor. These don’t float in the air with helium, but rather can be inflated and strung to hang from any wall, ceiling, or ledge. If you want your balloon display to have an alternative message, these balloons spell out “LOVE”, these say “XOXO”, and these can be ordered by letter so you can design the message of your choosing (the brides name, her new last name, or even the wedding date).
Most venues don’t have the best options on hand when it comes to table linens. If they offer any at all, they’re usually old, white, and stained from parties in the past. Renting and buying linens is also typically pricy, making it a less than desirable option. These runners aren’t only inexpensive, but well-made, and beautiful to boot. This online retailer offers several different designs including burlap with lace, sparkle, and polka dots, so you can pick your favorite or mix and match a few. If you’re not into burlap, they also have some other great designs at a similar price point like this one with black and white stripes, this one with a pink morocan print, or this mint chevron runner.
Fill these adorable milk “glasses” up with the brides drink of choice and set one at each place setting for her bridal shower. The kit has everything you need for a fun and feminine surprise as guests sit down. The set comes with six plastic bottles with ‘Drink Me’ tags and 12 colorful paper straws. We especially love these for tea parties or garden parties if you’re taking that route. The designer, Talking Tables, also has an “Eat Me” version with mini cake domes. If you really want to make an impact with the presentation, grab this beautiful beverage dispenser so each guest can help themselves to a refill.
Any time you can incorporate a personal element into the decor of a shower, it makes a lasting impression. It’s so important to make the bride feel like the most important person on the day of her shower, and a simple, inexpensive, and easy way to do so is with some personalized paper goods. A welcome sign is a great way to let guests know that they’re in the right place and nod to the VIP of the day in an elegant way. Check out all of the various design options from Andaz Press to find your favorite. Keep in mind that you can also order a bunch of complimenting products in the same design such as menu signs, bar signs, instagram hashtag signage, and more. Simply check out the right side of each listing to see what’s available.
This goes far beyond your standard cheap confetti and would make quite the impression at any bridal shower. Either display it on the table or stuff some confetti into your bridal shower invitations for an added touch. The paper pieces are larger than most confetti (over an inch square each) and are made from thick card stock. The larger pieces of confetti keep it from getting super messy like most confetti. You’ll receive two packs of confetti with five glitter gold Mr. & Mrs. cutouts and 40 ivory hearts. If this design isn’t for you, browse some other confetti options that would work well for a bridal shower.
