2025 Bridal Shower Trends: Creating the Perfect Pre-Wedding Celebration

Planning a bridal shower is all about celebrating love and creating memories that last a lifetime. If you’re hosting one in 2025, and you want to stay ahead of the trends, then here’s our roundup of the top bridal shower trends for 2025.

1. Personalized Bridal Shower Games

Bridal shower games are getting a custom upgrade. Personalized games like “Who Knows the Bride Best?” or “Guess who? Bride or Groom” add a unique touch that’s both fun and meaningful. 

Why It’s Trending: Guests feel more connected to the bride when the games are tailored to her personality, and it makes the event feel truly one-of-a-kind.

2. Elegant, Boho, and Garden-Inspired Themes

Timeless themes are making a strong comeback, but with a modern twist. Think soft, flowing fabrics, lush greenery, and delicate floral arrangements paired with elegant boho accents like pampas grass and macramé. Outdoor garden parties with string lights and whimsical decor are especially popular.

How to Incorporate: Get your hands on GardenCity’s Floral or Sage Green Game Bundles to match your theme.

3. Nostalgic Throwbacks

Retro is in! From ‘90s-inspired snacks (charcuterie boards with Gushers and Dunkaroos) to vintage Polaroid photo booths, this trend adds a touch of whimsy and fun to bridal showers.

Pro Tip: Incorporate the bride’s favorite childhood snacks and nostalgic music to make the throwback theme personal and meaningful. 

4. Interactive Experiences

Say goodbye to sit-and-chat-only events. In 2025, guests want to be part of the action. Activities like DIY flower crown stations, wine or cocktail tastings, and even painting classes are making bridal showers more engaging and memorable. Advice & Wishes Cards are also a timeless addition, giving guests a chance to share heartfelt messages or marriage tips with the bride. 

Why It’s Popular: Guests leave with a keepsake they made themselves, and the bride gets a cherished memento with special words she can revisit long after the celebration.

5. Bold and Vibrant Color Palettes

While pastels will always have a place in bridal showers, 2025 is all about bold, joyful colors. Think fuchsia, emerald green, cobalt blue, and burnt orange. These striking hues are showing up in everything from table linens to balloons, giving showers a modern and festive vibe.

How to Incorporate: Add pops of color through your napkins, florals, and even the bridal shower games—like this green Bridal Games Bundle

6. Themed Food and Drink Stations

Food and drinks are an essential part of any bridal shower, but in 2025, it’s all about creating stations that encourage mingling. A DIY mimosa bar, a taco station, or a dessert table with an assortment of treats can make the celebration feel more interactive and fun. Guests can mix and match their favorite flavors, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.

Or, consider a themed dessert table—like a donut wall or mini cupcakes that match the bridal colors.

Why It’s Trending: Food is not just about the taste buds, but creating connections

7. Memorable and Practical Party Favors

Thank guests with favors they’ll truly appreciate, like mini candles, or homemade edible treats, bath bombs, or mini succulents. Thoughtful and practical, these gifts leave a lasting impression.

Pro Tip: Add a handwritten note to make your favors even more special!

Make It Yours

Trends are a great starting point, but the best bridal showers are the ones that reflect the bride’s personality and style. Whether you go personalized with games, decor, or nostalgic with a throwback vibe, make the day about celebrating love and connection.
