Channeling Carrie and the Gang
So if you read our last post, you know we went a little outside the box with a Shrek themed bridal shower. For this post we went down a different path. At the end of this post we have two bonus videos!
If your bride-to-be has always dreamed of strutting down the aisle in Manolos or sipping cosmos with her closest friends, a Sex and the City-themed bridal shower is the ultimate way to celebrate her big step into marriage. It’s chic, fabulous, and oh-so-glamorous—just like Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda.
Bridal Shower Theme: Why Sex and the City?
Sex and the City is more than a show; it’s a lifestyle. It’s about friendship, independence, and finding yourself while finding love. For a bride who’s equal parts fashionista and feminist, this theme hits all the right notes.
Glamorous Decor
Transform your venue into a cosmopolitan dream:
Pink and Gold Palette: Think rose gold accents, metallic balloons, and plenty of blush pink florals.
New York Vibes: Incorporate skyline cutouts, mini taxis, and chic cocktail bars.
Signature Tablescapes: Use glittering table runners, champagne flutes, and printed quotes like “Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed…”
Fashion Forward: Set up a mini “Carrie closet” display with faux designer shoes and handbags.
A Menu Even Carrie Would Approve
Cosmopolitans: The signature cocktail of the evening.
Mini Bagels and Lox: A nod to New York brunch culture.
Macarons: Glamorous and delicious.
Canapés: Keep it light and sophisticated.
Activities That Bring the Glam
Cosmo-Making Station: Teach guests how to craft the perfect Cosmopolitan, complete with garnish.
Fashion Showdown: Have guests create “outfits” for the bride using rolls of toilet paper and pink sashes.
SATC Trivia: Test everyone’s knowledge of the iconic show. Bonus points for knowing Carrie’s middle name!
Favors That Say “Thank You for Being Fabulous”
Miniature cosmos in bottles.
Lip glosses or nail polish in SATC-inspired shades.
Custom “Team Bride” tote bags.
Final Thoughts
A Sex and the City-themed bridal shower is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of friendship, love, and the fabulousness of your bride-to-be. It’s the perfect excuse to dress up, sip cocktails, and toast to a future that’s as bright and bold as Carrie’s wardrobe. After all, this is her “Big” moment!
