Tiny Bubbles Theme Shower
Create some effervescent fun with bubbles at your next bridal shower.
Decorate the room with lots of white or clear balloons. For centerpieces, group three different sized and shaped champagne glasses in the middle of the buffet and gift tables. Tie white ribbons on the stems and fill each champagne glass with Champagne Bubbles candies. Scatter sprigs of baby’s breath around the base of the champagne glasses.
Serve champagne, of course, or Chic Faux Champagne and a variety of tasty appetizers from The Shower Diva’s recipe collection. Serve Champagne Cake for dessert.
Bubble Theme Activities
Bubble Relay. You will need: A couple of balloons and enough prizes for all the members of one team. Divide the guests into two single-file lines. The first person in the line will place a balloon between her knees. When the race starts, she turns to the next person in line, who must grasp the balloon with her knees and turn to the next person in line. If someone drops the balloon, the team must start over at the beginning of the line. The first team to pass their balloon all the way down the line wins!
Bubble Pop Game. You will need: Paper notes (one for each guest) and balloons (one for each guest) and a prize for the winner. Place notes inside un-inflated balloons (if you use clear balloons, make sure the notes are folded so no one can see what the notes say). One of the notes should say, “You are a Winner!” The others can have funny quotes or sweet sayings. Inflate the balloons with helium. When you’re ready to play, have each guest choose a balloon and pop it to retrieve the notes. Award prizes to the winners.
Bubble Wrap Bridal Gown Game. Here's a fun game for bridal showers! You will need: Plenty of bubble wrap (the kind with the big bubbles is the most fun), plenty of clear packing tape, and prizes for the winning team. Divide the guest into teams of three or four and give each team some bubble wrap and tape. Give each team 20 minutes to design a wedding gown. Each team will choose a “bride”. The other members of the team will design the bubble wrap bridal gown and dress their “bride” in it. At the end of 20 minutes, the “brides” will model their gowns for the other guests. Let the Bride-to-Be pick her favorite gown and award prizes to the winning team. A special bit of fun is if there are junior bridesmaids or younger children, they will enjoy the discards! (Just make sure you put them in a separate room while they jump on and pop the "dresses" as it can get a bit noisy.)
Favors: For a bridal shower, fill organza bags or champagne flutes tied with bows with Champagne Bubbles candies.
Don't forget plenty of actual blowing bubbles! There are some automatic machines available at party stores that can be set up ahead of time too. Just cover any fabrics that may become damaged from soap stains if you plan to use this indoors. You may even consider personalizing the bubble bottles for an extra special new year's touch of wow!
