Couple Showers instead of Bridal Showers

Many couples are having couple showers instead of traditional bridal showers. The focus is on the union of the couple and spending time together with friends and family prior to the wedding. This is a great way to celebrate the upcoming wedding and involve both the bride and groom.

Variety of Gifts

When you are attending a couple shower, consider doing two small gifts or one gift that can be used by the couple together. For example, you could get the bride and groom a new television set or car stereo for their couple shower gift. If your budget is smaller, perhaps a nice gift basket for a romantic picnic or night at home movie basket with popcorn and a rental movie gift card would be nice.

Another option is to get the bride something small and the groom something small. This would still fit your budget but allow each one to have their own separate present at the couple shower.

Fun Games

There are many fun couple shower games that you can play for this type of event. The key is to have games that both male and female guests can play together. You could do sherades with a focus on the wedding theme. A wedding trivia game would also be fun to play.
