    Main Idea:
    Stocking a kitchen is a large job. This theme is designed to help the bride get a good start.

    Gift Suggestions:
    Find out if the bride has a color scheme in mind and pass that information on to the guests. Ideas Include:
    • Cookbooks
    • Pots/Pans
    • Coffee Maker
    • Dish Towels
    • Measuring cups/spoons
    • Silverware
    • Dishes
    • Anything you might use in your kitchen
    Decoration Ideas:
    Hang utensils or groups of utensils around the room. Fruit baskets add beautiful color and can be used as a centerpiece.

    Food Tips:
    The food category is wide open for this theme. Anything from a large sampling of different appetizers to a meal would be appropriate. Another idea would be to have each guest bring their favorite dish (or dessert) for a potluck shower. A fun game that can be incorporated would be to have the bride try to make her "wedding cake" from scratch with no recipe! A guest should write down the ingredients and type it up and present it to the bride later as a remembrance.

    Other Ideas:
    A perfect and inexpensive shower favor is a wooden spoon with tulle tied in a bow around it. You could include some hersheys kisses tied around the spoon with a note reading "a spoonful of kisses for you." Cookies in colorful plastic wrap also serve as the perfect favor for a kitchen shower.
