Holiday Bridal Shower If you know that the bride has already had several showers or that she really likes a certain holiday, then have a Holiday Bridal Shower for her. For a holiday shower you can choose one holiday theme or go with various holidays. Ask the guests to bring gifts that center around the holiday theme you choose. If you are centering the shower around one holiday, then decorate around this theme. For example, if the theme is Christmas, then send out invitations with a Christmas tree or Santa, use Christmas decorations and serve a traditional Christmas meal. If your shower theme is for all the holidays, decorate different areas throughout the room. Valentines can be in one corner, a small Christmas tree and stockings on the mantle, and Halloween pumpkins and masks in another corner. Hang out a sign that says, "Holiday Inn" for the guests to see as they walk in. Serve different foods for each holiday. Give Christmas balls, small stuffed turkeys, or American flags as favors.
