How to Throw a Co-Ed Wedding Shower

Why should the girls have all the fun?  Supporting your groom to be by having his close friends and family there is becoming more and more popular. 

Set a Theme:



Having a co-ed shower that is themed is sure to produce gifts that even the men will enjoy seeing.

Think about having a honeymoon shower. If you know where the bride and groom intend to vacation after the big event you can keep the destination in mind and use it for the theme of your co-ed shower. The guests will be expected to bring gifts that the couple will enjoy on their honeymoon such as cameras, excursion gift certificates, guidebooks, or even a video camera.

If you decide to host a shower around the theme of home entertaining, this will allow the guests to purchase gifts with that in mind. Some gift ideas might include a wine rack, decanter or glasses, barbeque tools, cake plates and special tableware.

Whatever theme you decide upon for your co-ed wedding shower, it is sure to be a hit.

HOT NEW COLOR FOR 2009

For the past few years, chocolate brown has been the color of choice,  popping up in weddings as a hip neutral, and combined with bright colors. While chocolate brown isn’t going anywhere, the hippest new color for 2009 is gray.

You may think of gray as too dreary a color for weddings, but on the contrary, it can serve as a sophisticated foil to brighter colors. It’s great paired with pink or yellow, but perhaps the hottest combination this year will be silver and royal purple.
