Wedding Shower Decoration
If you're a member of the bridal entourage, it would definitely be a part of your role in the wedding to give a hand in planning a wedding shower for the bride. With all the wedding planning and little details that she has to deal with, the bride surely deserves to be given a break from all the organizing.
Basically, all that the bride has to do is show up, receive the gifts and enjoy herself to the fullest during the wedding shower. It is up to you to organize!

Wedding Shower Decoration 101: The Basics
Before you can even proceed to thinking about the decorations, make sure that you have all the details planned out first. Here's a quick look at the basic tasks that should be included in your to-do list:
1. Set a date and look for a venue.
2. Make a guest list - the shower guests should also be invited to the wedding.
3. Think of a theme that you can use for the gifts for the bride, the wedding shower decoration and the favors that you will distribute by the end of the party.
4. Think of a menu - it can either be a collection of finger foods and cocktails. Or, if you're only gathering a small group of women, lunch or dinner can also be prepared.
5. Send out the invitations, prepare the thank you cards, purchase the shower favors, wait for the date to arrive - and have fun with the bride!
Shower Themes to Choose from
Now, one of the challenges that you have to face while planning is coming up with a theme that you can use. Remember that you should take into account the personality of the bride.
For example, if the bride is a chef, you can create paper toques for the guests and the bride to wear during the shower - with the words "I'm getting married!" printed on them.
You can have a beach theme where all the guests will wear shades and sundresses for the event - and the favors that you can distribute should complement the theme as well.
After deciding on the theme, that should be the basis of your celebration. Here are a few other ideas that you can use for your wedding shower decoration:

A lingerie theme.
