An upcoming wedding is always a cause for great celebration and this “Stock the Kitchen” themed bridal shower is the perfect way to gather friends and family to eat, drink and honor the soon-to-be newlyweds. This party is easy to outfit with items you very likely have in your own kitchen. Repurposing kitchen tools and appliances into clever props and decor is fun and easy on the budget. Bake up some homemade treats as favors, set up a few crafting stations for guests to create memorable keepsakes for the couple, and you’ve got yourself a kitchen themed bridal shower that is as darling as it is practical!
Pick a Perfect Palette For this fun kitchen themed bridal shower, we selected a palette of red, blue, black and white. It's based on retro kitchen and vintage style. You can select any colors you like for your event, just stick to those colors and you're sure to end up with a beautifully designed look.
This Guestbook Alternative is a Recipe for Fun
When you're putting together a bridal shower themed on kitchen necessities, it makes perfect sense to incorporate recipe cards into the shower games and activities. Invite guests to provide their Recipe for a Happy Marriage, by setting up a charming activity station, complete with Blank Index CardsRed Washi Tape and Teal Washi Tape, Sharpie Markers, and a Clear Organizer Box to collect all the cards. The Bride-to-Be will cherish this meaningful keepsake for years to come. 
Create Unique Decor Using Ordinary Items A stand mixer is transformed into a vase brimming over with happy red Geranium Bunch, while kitchen tools adorn a cleverly built wedding cake, constructed from dishtowels wrapped around a paper towel roll, then embellished with Grosgrain Ribbon Assortment and Red Stitched Trim and Blue Stitched Trim. 
Take a peek into your own kitchen cabinets to find treasures that can be looked at in new ways, or, check the couple's wedding registry for items that can be used on display at the shower, then gifted to them when the day is done! Let Your Guests Get Crafty Bridal shower games and activities are fun, but a crafting station takes the entertainment to another level, by allowing guests to express themselves, and create cute keepsakes for the newlyweds, like these fun DIY Dishtowels. 
Just set up a station with a note on what to create, and prepare to be amazed by your friends and family as they whip up some fun with Red Stitched Trim, Grosgrain Ribbon Assortment, and imagination!
The creative Wood Kitchen Sign used in the display can be created by following our easy tutorial here, it's made with Grey Distressed Wood Nesting Trays and a simple Kitchen Wall Decal! 
Simple, Yet Stunning Table Settings Thanks to the bold vintage kitchen palette we selected, the table settings for this kitchen themed bridal shower did not need to be elaborate. It's a casual theme, so we opted for Clear Plastic Plates, Red Luncheon Napkins, and darling Vintage Soda Bottles embellished with dotted washi tape and a Black Striped Paper Straws. 
A Red Checkerboard Tablecloth is the perfect backdrop to our place settings, and is also reminiscent of kitchen design from days gone by.
Bake Up a Homemade Treat Berry Cobbler is a classic homemade favorite, and a perfect dessert for a kitchen themed shower. Tangy berries and buttery cobbler crust meld together for the perfect dessert. These Berry Cobbler favors are even more enchanting when served in Mini Mason Jar Favor Containers, and wrapped with a wooden fork, rolling pin tag, and Bakers Twine Assortment. Guests will get a giggle out of the fun pun we've printed on these tags, which say, "That's How I Roll".
