While we love a fantastic ole’ fashioned bridal shower, we all know that a themed party complete with matches and a very public gift opening session may not be every bride’s cup of tea. In fact, many bride-to-be’s are actually opting for nontraditional bridal showers like group outings, coed backyard BBQs, or full on holidays. There are many fun and special techniques to create your bridal shower match your character, and today we are excited to share some of our favourite choice bridal shower ideas. Take a look at the details below and get inspired to throw a shower that is uniquely yours!

For your sporty bride-to-be, we propose doing a physical action with your favorite group of people. A couple of ideas include trekking, kayaking, yoga, rock climbing, or river rafting.
Learn a new skill

Taking a class/learning a new skill is exciting and a fun bonding experience! When there’s something which the bride-to-be has ever wanted to try or improve at, this is the best time to do it. Some ideas include a pottery class, painting lessons, a flower arranging course, or a cooking course.
Pamper yourselves

You can never go wrong with a day of embarrassment. Whether that means getting massages, soaking in a spa, or getting your nails done, a day full of comfort is just what every girl needs.
Get crazy

When we say get wild, we mean do an action with animals! Fantastic for the nature/animal adoring bride-to-be. We propose activities like going to a safari, horseback riding, volunteering at a shelter or seeing a zoo or aquarium.
Have a fun night in

Some brides may prefer a casual hangout in your home, and we’re totally on board with that idea! In case a night in sounds ideal, we propose inviting your closest group of friends over for a movie marathon or even a sleep over.
Take a tour

Taking a tour of your favourite movie studio, amusement park, historic site, or even your own town is another fantastic idea. Depending on where you live and what you’re into, we suggest looking into tours for whatever it’s you’d like to receive a behind the scenes look at. For inspiration, remember that places like the Freedom Trail in Boston, Disneyland, and Warner Brothers Studios all give excursions.

Last but not least, a holiday trip is always an enjoyable alternative. Head to her favourite destination, or someplace she has always wanted to go but has never been. When it’s abroad, or even the next town over, you can’t ever go wrong with moving through a new place.
Which of those alternative bridal shower ideas could you opt for?
