Inspiration Board: Kitchen Themed Bridal Shower

If the bride-to-be is addicted to the Food Network and has a pile of Gourmet magazines sitting by the door, a kitchen-themed bridal shower might be right up her alley.

Some ideas to get you going:

The invitations:
Use a cooking themed invitation or modify recipe cards with the time, address, and instructions. See below for gift theme suggestions you can include with the invitations.

Fantastically Adorable Personalized Flasks from The Hair of the Dog!

When I saw these customized bow tie flasks from The Hair of the Dog I thought they’d make a fantastically fun gift for the groomsmen! All flasks are stainless steel and can be personalized with names, dates, initials, etc. You can even select a different background color to coordinate with your wedding colors.

And, if you don’t want to leave the bridesmaids out, not to worry, there are custom flasks for the bridal party, too. Even the bride and groom, if that’s how they want to roll!

There are a slew of styles and colors so finding the perfect fit to commemorate the day shouldn’t be too difficult. Keeping the groomsmen from needing a little “hair of the dog” the day of the wedding? That may require a little more effort.

There is no limit to unique eco-conscious gifts for your favorite green bride! Many businesses cater to those that covet sustainable products and they do their absolute best to ensure that you are receiving quality products from fair trade organizations.

Instead of buying products made of plastic or other harmful materials you can opt for bamboo kitchenware or recycled metal cheese slicers, graters, utensils!

Buying recycled products is a very responsible gesture and also showcases artistry by individuals who take old materials and turn them into something beautiful and functional!

Recycled luxury items such as wine racks are also a great home decor addition. When you entertain guests they will be impressed by the unique repurposed items you own!…

Handstamped Necklaces from Vintage Pearl Jewelry

You all know what a huge fan I am of personal, customized gifts, especially for big life events (um, your wedding day perhaps?) as a way to commemorate the day in a meaningful way. There’s something about opening up a gift that has thought, care and time invested into it…

Which is probably why I think Vintage Pearl’s customized necklaces are so lovely. They’re a subtle way to wear your heart on your sleeve (or your chest, in this case), plus they’re really pretty, aren’t they? And I love that each piece is individually handstamped so no two necklaces are exactly the same, just like your love (sometimes I just can’t help it…).

Last Minute Gift Ideas for the Ladies in Your Life

Now I’m basing this solely on the fact that every year I watch my husband, dad, and brother-in-law scurry out to start buying presents on December 23, but I’m thinking there’s a chance there are a few guys out there who still need to finish up their shopping. If your fiancé or husband counts among them, feel free to surreptitiously send him a link to this page; we did our best to cover all of your bases!
