10 Fun Themes for an Unforgettable Bridal Shower

Make the bride-to-be feel extra special before her big day.

The Great Outdoors Shower - Sometimes, throwing a unique bridal shower means not only thinking outside of the box, but outside of the neighborhood, too. Having a bridal shower in the depths of nature, like at a ski lodge or a campground, is a pretty unorthodox idea that guarantees beautiful pictures, fun activities and amazing memories. Older and non-outdoorsy guests can chill near the fireplace, roasting marshmallows, while the more athletically-inclined explore and hit the trails. (Photo:  JACQUES Pierre/Hemis/Corbis)
Lingerie Shower - Does the bride-to-be like her romance a little more risqué? If so, a girls-only lingerie party is in order. To stick to the sexy theme, serve foods that are known aphrodisiacs, like chocolate. As for the beverages, guests are unlikely to forget specially made cocktails such as "the panty dropper" or "the striptease." (Photo: Ay Mujer via Etsy)
Brag About Each Other - Be each other’s biggest support system! It serves as a little reminder to your mate that their achievements and accomplishments, whether big or small, aren’t going unnoticed. It also brings about feelings of love and acceptance, as well as a sense of pride and togetherness. (Photo: Ariel Skelley/Blend Images/Corbis)
