Golf enthusiasts, it's time to par-TEE! Golf themed showers, weddings and parties are on the rise and it's no doubt that a breathtaking golf course would provide a beautiful backdrop for any occasion. Plan a golf-themed bridal shower that is sure to be a big hit! Couples that are "Made FORE each other" will love this fun interpretation of their favorite pastime. With inspiration drawn directly from the green, feminine floral elements and chic stripes make it a true winning day for the golf loving bride.
Set the Scene
Have fun incorporating golf balls into the bridal shower decor using balloons. I used a Balloon Frame Arch to create an arch of "golf balls" out of White Latex 11" Balloons and Light Pink 9" Latex Balloons.
Tip: Use larger Jumbo White 36" Latex Balloons at the bottom of the arch frame.
In between the balloons, I inserted Faux Mountain Grass Sprays to give the look of golf balls on the green. The faux grass was sprayed with a brighter green paint to make them pop against the white.
The Cake Table
A "slice" of cake anyone?! I kept the cake table simple, using accents from the game itself as decor. Two golf clubs tied together with a Faux Caledonia Dahlia framed the cake. The cake sat on top of a White Ceramic Cake Stand. I traced the top of the stand and cut a circle from the Artificial Grass Roll to sit the cake on top of. Faux Mountain Grass Sprays surrounded a golf flag cake topper that was made using a Blue Striped Paper Straw and a Small Paper Celebration Flag.
Tip: Keep the cake on a thin cake board when you place it on the stand.
On one side of the cake I placed chocolate golf balls (yum!) on a Clear Treat Stand over the top of a grass mat. Another golf flag on a striped straw was placed through one of the holes and into the mat to create a putting green. Download the FREE printable flags HERE.
I used real golf balls and golf gear direct from the bride and groom as styling accents.
A golf glove, Ticonderoga® Golf Pencils and a bag tag looked great and were appreciated by the bride-to-be.
On the other side of the table I used a Large Galvanized Pail full of golf balls as a fun decor element. I used my Cricut to cut out the words "Made FORE Each Other" so I could add the saying to the pail. I then added another golf flag and wrapped the pail with grass and a White Hydrangea Garland.
Unique Golf Themed Decor
Next to the cake table, the bride or groom's clubs made for a fun decor element. I used these as a unique and very large vase! I filled with faux florals, of course.
I placed a Hooray flag in with the clubs and wrapped the top of the clubs with a White Hydrangea Garland, caledonia roses, peonies and dahlias.
Bridal Shower Games
Under the other side of the arch I set up a fun game of DIY Golf Pong! Pour that prosecco! This mini-put style drinking game is sure to get the party going. Get the DIY instructions HERE.
I used a preppy monogram on the putting green which I also used throughout the table decor. Monograms are hugely popular for golf balls and other golf gear. Personalized elements like this DIY Golf Pong Game make for a great gift for the bride-to-be!
Table Setting
I created a unique golf themed centerpiece for the bridal shower table. I got inspiration from different parts of the golf course like the tee off, bunker and putting green.
Get the full DIY for this pretty centerpiece HERE.
I placed small accents at each end of the table. A small piece of the Artificial Grass Roll was cut to resemble a mini 18th golf hole. On top of this I placed a pink taper candle in a Taper Candle Holder.
I used golf balls, Ticonderoga® Golf Pencils and Personalized Golf Tees as accents to the centerpiece as well.
Tee-Off from a Preppy Place Setting
The place settings were layered using modern, transparent elements, romantic pinks and a contrasting preppy stripe. I started with a Premium Clear Plastic Dinner Plate and added a Light Pink Round Paper Dinner Plate as well as a Navy Striped Paper Dessert Plate.
On top of the setting was a take-home themed favor. White chocolate golf balls sitting on faux grass were housed in Small Clear Favor Boxes. I tied the box up with Hot Pink Bakers Twine and a Ticonderoga® Golf Pencil.
I used Premium Metallic Silver Cutlery tied with twine and a Golf Enamel Charm at each setting.
I love creating fun, whimsical details that capture a guests' attention as soon as they take a seat. This place card is a quick and easy DIY they are sure to love. I placed faux grass in a Mini Navy Favor Pail and then used a Personalized Golf Tee to hold a golf ball with the guest's name card attached to it. Print out the FREE golf themed name cards HERE.
Once the guests have been seated, serve them a signature cocktail based on your par performance. We call this cocktail The Birdie! Get the recipe for this winning cocktail HERE.
Serve this signature cocktail in monogrammed Clear Stemless Plastic Wine Glasses with a golf ball stirrer.
Finally, serve cans of bubbles in these With The Bride Can Coolers, which makes it easy to transfer from club house to course!
Enjoy celebrating your hole in one with this unique bridal shower celebration. Be sure to check out my DIY Golf Themed Centerpiece, DIY Golf Prosecco Pong and the recipe for our signature cocktail, The Birdie.
