Pick a theme

Themes, though not strictly necessary, can help guide guests' gift choices and the activities at the shower itself. They can be entertaining, such as a "roast" (where guests are invited to tell funny stories about the bride and groom), or practical, such as "kitchen" (gifts are kitchen items). A theme may be especially helpful for bridal couples who already live together: It may not be obvious what they need.

If you're stumped for theme ideas, wedding shower books and websites have many suggestions. Look in your library or bookstore, or type the words "wedding shower" into your Internet search engine.
