I am absolutely loving how we are veering away from the traditional formal aspects of a bridal shower. Before, we were seeing a lot of black and white or pastel floral themes for bridal showers.
Now, we are embracing all sorts of fun themes to celebrate the bride-to-be!
What better way to celebrate than with a Lemon Themed Bridal Shower!
I am so excited to share a complete list of what you need for your bridal shower. Keep reading to find a list of items and creative inspiration for your bridal shower!
Planning a bridal shower takes a lot of work.
I created this post for you to make planning easier and to give you some inspiration for a Lemon bridal shower.
First, you will need to decide on your venue.
You’ll have to sit down and talk with each one of the bridesmaids about what they can realistically afford to spend for the bridal shower. I would suggest planning this and booking the venue at least 6 months ahead, just so you have an accurate idea of cost.
Next, you’ll want to check in with the bride’s family as well. Is mom/grandma/aunt/sister contributing financially to help with the bridal shower? That will give you a better understanding of the budget you have for the bridal shower.
If you’re lucky enough, someone will allow you to host the shower at their house! This will save the bridesmaids a ton of money. You’ll also have some creative freedom with what decorations you want to use.
Once you’ve booked your venue and have solidified the date and time, you’re ready to start designing an invitation.
Make your invitation on Canva! You can do it for free and it’s super easy. You can choose to either print it on your own or send it digitally.
You’ll want your invitation to stay on theme with the bridal shower.
Of course, you can search online for print companies that will mail the printed invitations to you and spend more money. But that’s your choice.
I would recommend sending out the invitations at least 6-8 weeks in advance of the bridal shower.

Next, you’ll need to begin thinking about food and drink for the bridal shower.
How long are you hosting the shower? Most showers are only 2 hours, sometimes 3, so that can give you a good idea of how much food to have.
If the shower is only 2 hours in length, let’s say from 2:00pm-4:00pm, you could get away with having a bunch of appetizers and desserts.
Any longer than 2 hours, I would recommend having some sort of meal choice.
Of course, if you have booked a venue, they likely come with their own catering company and you’ll be able to select from a menu.
If you are hosting in someone’s home, you could choose to make the food yourself, have everyone bring a dish, or you could outsource the catering as well.
Don’t forget about drinks!
Typically, the only alcoholic drink bridal showers have is a pitcher of mimosas, or a mimosa bar. You’ll need champagne and your choice of juice and fruit toppings.
Don’t go wild spending money on beer or wine for a bridal shower unless you really want to.
1. You’ll need champagne flutes! These are simple and disposable.
2. I am loving these she found her main squeeze co*cktail napkins!
3. Lemon Straws
You’ll want to have plenty of bottled water for your guests and maybe another drink choice such as iced tea or lemonade. Soda is not very typical at bridal showers.
To stay on the Lemon Bridal Shower theme, you could even make a specialty drink, like a lemon juice co*cktail!
4. Put it in this Drink Dispenser!
Then, start thinking about decorations for your bridal shower.
Definitely look at Pinterest for inspo on decorations!
Balloon arches are super on trend right now. You’ll want to look at some inspiration for spooky themed arches, as long as your venue allows this.
You can do the balloon arches indoors. They do not have to be outside! Although you may want to tie a balloon out front of the house/venue so that your guests are sure of where the bridal shower is.
First, here are some Bridal Shower Balloon Arch Ideas:
5. She Found Her Main Squeeze Balloons
8. Blue and Yellow Citrus Balloons
9. Pink, Orange, Yellow Balloons
There are seriously so many different balloon arch kits to choose from on Amazon.
11. Make sure you don’t forget your balloon pump! You will NOT want to be doing this without a pump.
Doing these balloon arches takes a lot of time. Make sure you plan accordingly and that you have people helping you with this! You may want to consider blowing up all of the balloons the night before. They should stay fresh.
Next, think about some other Lemon Bridal Shower Decorations:
12. Yellow She Found Her Main Squeeze Backdrop

33. Better yet, I’ve made some Lemon Themed Bridal Shower Printable Signs!
Making them yourself or purchasing print at home templates will save you so much money rather than custom ordering the signs.

Finally, you need to think about how you will entertain your guests at your Bridal Shower.
Bridal Showers are known for their cheesy games about the bride or about the couple. You should definitely have some sort of entertainment for the guests, whether it be games or interactive advice cards.
Make sure your games fit the theme of the bridal shower!
39. Guess what?! I’ve made ready to print games

Lastly, sit back, relax, eat some food, and have a great time!
I hope you give your bestie the Lemon Bridal Shower of her dreams!
