Ooh La La: Paris Bridal Shower Ideas

Paris is known to be “the city of love” so it’s no surprise to see the popularity of Paris Bridal Shower themes. Here I’ll share some ideas for invitations, decorations, food and favors. You can’t go wrong with French cuisine as party food!

Paris Bridal Shower – Invitations:

An invitation to a Paris-themed party could be a standard invitation size and include a pretty pink background along with the well-known Eiffel Tower. You could also go a little outside the box with an invite that looks like a plane ticket or a passport. When planning your party invitations, keep in mind that you will have to mail some so you’ll want to select something that you’ll easily be able to find an envelope for.

Paris Bridal Shower – Decorations:

Can you guess what I used here for the background? A shower curtain! There are so many ideas for a party backdrop – plastic tablecloths, curtains, wrapping paper, a variety of paper fans – let your imagination soar!

Using the natural beauty of the outdoors is always a great idea for a party but if that isn’t an option, a nicely decorated table with fresh flowers is a great alternative.

If there is one thing every Paris party needs, it’s an Eiffel Tower. You can use it in so many ways – as a centerpiece for the table, as a holder for seating arrangement cards or even to hold special messages written by the guests for the bride (can secure to the Eiffel Tower with mini clothespins).

Some additional decoration ideas include:

• white lace tablecloth
• fresh flowers
• porcelain cake stands
• dome cake stands
• white serving trays

Paris Bridal Shower – Food & Drink:

Planning food for a Paris-themed party is as easy as a visit to the frozen section of your local grocery store. When planning a party, it’s nice to have the option of quick & easy (yet still delicious!) foods so that you have more time to concentrate on other areas of the party. Some food ideas include:

• any type of hor d’oeuvres
• baguette sandwiches
• mini quiche
• chocolate eclairs
• petite cupcakes
• French macaroon cookies
• strawberry champagne
• pink lemonade

Paris Bridal Shower – Favors:

For party favors, I always like the type of favor that I think people will be able to use or enjoy. For a Paris-themed party, some cute ideas include:

• mini flower pots with a single flower
• a French themed dessert packaged up and ready to take home
• a dry dip mix with instructions on how to prepare it at home (for example, just add sour cream)
• homemade buns and spread
