While summer and fall may seem like the peak of bridal shower and wedding season, the truth is weddings (and related festivities) happen year-round.
It’s easy to plan a cute and creative bridal shower in July or October, but what about the dreary winter months of January or February? With our practical tips, we believe throwing a creative and thoughtful shower is possible and enjoyable, no matter when the wedding is scheduled.
We’ve curated a versatile list of bridal shower themes that we adore for every month of the year! Whether you’re planning a winter wonderland in January or a summer soiree in July, there’s a theme for every season. Scroll through until you find the month you need, and let your creativity flow!
January Bridal Shower Theme:
Embrace the beauty of winter at your event without braving the icy temperatures with this enchanting Snow in Love bridal shower theme. We adore the silver and white decorations, accented with pops of “something blue.”
While traditionally, the bride-to-be wears white to her wedding events, consider asking your attendees to come dressed in their winter whites as well (with the guest of honor’s permission, of course!)
February Bridal Shower Theme:
What better way to celebrate love than with a bridal shower in the month of love? The romantic “That’s Amore” theme will transport your guests to the Italian countryside. One of our favorite and unique decorative elements is using empty tomato cans as vases for your florals.
The experts at RegistryFinder believe party favors should be practical yet fun, and we can’t get enough of these adorable custom matchboxes!

March Bridal Shower Theme:
Whether celebrating an Irish bride-to-be or simply feeling lucky to have a friend like her, this Lucky in Love bridal shower is the perfect choice for your March event!
While balloon arches are certainly a labor of love, they’re guaranteed to make your event decor pop! Check out this on-theme balloon arch kit, which offers two-day shipping for Amazon Prime members. And don’t forget to click “add to order” on these stunning dinner plates—the best part is that they’re disposable, making cleanup after your event a breeze!
April Bridal Shower Theme:
April showers bring more than just May flowers, and that’s why we love this beautiful Love is in Bloom bridal shower. One of our favorite on-theme trends is creating a “Bloom Bar,” where guests can showcase their skills by crafting gorgeous flower arrangements that double as event decor and party favors.
If your guest of honor is on the hunt for the perfect outfit, be sure to send them the link to this stunning Floral Maxi Dress!
May Bridal Shower Theme:
With a charcuterie board featuring locally sourced cheese, homemade lemonade to sip on, and this delicious strawberry chamomile cake for dessert, this “Fresh Off the Market” theme brings the fun of the farmers market to your event.
While it’s certainly not required for the host to provide a gift for the guest of honor, if you’d like to shower the bride-to-be with some extra love, we recommend asking your guests to come prepared with a treasured recipe to begin the bride’s recipe box–a sentimental gift from all who played a role in making this event an unforgettable one!

It’s time to kick off summer with this bow-tiful “She’s Tying the Knot” bridal shower theme! With stunning shades of blue and dreamy bouquets of hydrangeas laced with ribbon, your guests will feel like they’ve been gifted a ferry ticket to Martha’s Vineyard.
We can’t get enough of this stunning invitation, which perfectly sets the event’s tone. And could these bow balloons be any cuter?
July Bridal Shower Theme:
Suppose the bride-to-be is looking for a fun way to include her partner in the wedding festivities but isn’t sure how; we recommend this patriotic “Red, White, and I Do” couples BBQ theme! From American flag drinkware—perfect for the delicious Star-Spangled Spritzer—to this adorable Red, White, and I Do banner, the couple’s shower attendees will surely have a blast!
August Bridal Shower Theme:
The experts at RegistryFinder believe you can’t say farewell to summer without a bit of fun in the sun, and what better way to do that than with this colorful “Love at First Spritz” bridal shower theme?
This theme is inspired by the Italian cocktail Aperol Spritz, a delicious “cheers” to the end of summer and one’s final season as an unmarried woman.

September Bridal Shower Theme:
As summer turns to fall, consider hosting an autumn-inspired bridal shower. We love the “She’s Fallin’ in Love” theme—rich in warm accent colors and dried florals housed in amber-colored vases. We’re sure your guest of honor will feel as though she’s been embraced by the warm and inviting love of her loved ones.
October Bridal Shower Theme:
For brides who love all things Halloween, consider “She Found Her Boo” as the perfect theme for you. Lighting can set a romantic scene for your event, which is why we love these decorative flickering lanterns.
Turn your bridal shower into a costume party, or keep the attire formal with this stunning ruched dress—the possibilities are endless!
November Bridal Shower Theme:
Pop the bubbly; she’s getting a hubby! We love this “Boots and Bubbly” bridal shower theme—perfect for bringing a touch of Southern charm to your event! If you’re looking for an adorable, on-theme party favor for your guests, check out these cowboy boot bottle openers.

December—the most wonderful time of the year! If you’re looking to host a bridal shower for a Christmas-loving bride, we recommend this adorable “From Miss-tletoe to Mrs.” theme.
If you’re looking for a way to surprise the bride-to-be, consider asking guests to bring a Christmas ornament instead of cards so the newlyweds can decorate their tree and be reminded of this sweet gathering for years to come!
