I am part of a bridal party that is hosting a honeymoon bridal shower theme. The couple is honeymooning in Hawaii. It is a big shower (about 100 people).
Does anyone have any idea’s on favor and Centerpiece? Also, any ideas for games and decor. We already know the Luau theme, so we were hoping to come up with some other ideas as well.
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Game idea: Make blank Bingo cards for everyone. The only square that is filled is the center, which is a FREE square. Have pens for all guests. Before the gifts are opened, each guests fills out something they think the couple will receive at the shower. As the gifts are opened, if an item opened is on someones card, that person marks the item off. First person to BINGO gets a gift. (Maybe a travel themed item — empty travel bottles for toiletries, basket with travel sized items, etc.)
Favors: luggage tags
My family was toying with the idea of a Luau theme for our wedding shower (its a couples shower, guys invited too!) as my future mama in law is Hawaiian. We eventually did away with it as it was pretty conflicting with other ideas we had (we’re having a pinata!) but here are a few great ideas I found (thank you internet):
- a pineapple by the entrance was (and possibly still is) considered a great display of hospitality
- fruit anything (perhaps a fondue fountain would be a good idea?)
- oriental trading has loads of supplies for these parties
- one great themed game I found was to give every guest a lei as they arrive but warn them that they may not say the word “wedding” during the party or the person that catches them will take their lei and the person at the end of the party wins
other tips:
- don’t try to force everyone to participate, sometimes Aunt Betty really would rather watch you young girls make toilet paper wedding dresses
- make sure to have lots and lots of food for that amount of people and you can never have too much soft drinks
- make it fun… for you too!
