HERE IS HOW TO PLAN A FUN TRAVEL THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER:
Travel Themed Elements
Okay, so first things first, what are the important elements to keep while party planning an event that’s travel themed? Here are some travel elements to keep in mind while you get creative and plan:
- Planes
- Luggage
- Adventure
- Beaches/Cities/Mountains
- Cameras
- Sunglasses
- Maps
- Globes
- Compass
- Passports
- Travel sized containers
Travel Themed Bridal Shower Invites
Searching for invitations for the bridal shower the first step to planning a fun event! Invitations always set the tone and show guests exactly what the theme is. If you love to DIY, you can definitely design the travel themed invitations yourself but there are a lot of platforms that can assist you with this as well!
Etsy has a huge marketplace of templates that you can easily edit and customize to the details of your party. Here are a few Etsy templates I found and love that’s travel themed!
Drink Flights
Drinks are a must no matter what kind of drinks you serve! It could be non-alcoholic or alcoholic but a drink flight is super cute when hosting a travel themed bridal shower! You could do a flight of 4 drinks and have paper airplanes on top! If non-alcoholic, tea, coffee, or fresh juice! If alcoholic, you could do beer, margaritas, wine etc!
Take Off Food Table Settings
Table arrangements really create that ambiance that everyone can feel. I remember seeing my venue go from plain to elevated when my caterers did the table settings. Having a map as a placemat is super cute and tying off the napkins with a luggage tag placeholder is so perfect! You could also do a nice centerpiece of gorgeous florals and other travel elements like polaroid cameras or sunglasses!
Travel Themed Food Spread
Now for one of the most favorite parts of attending events… the FOOD! The sky is the limit with this theme especially! You could do multi-cultural food bites and display a selection of different foods from many countries or you could do easy appetizers and give them creative names/food puns or even just stick some cute signs, maps/globes/plane food picks!
Map/Globe Decorations
When hosting a travel themed party, I hate to break it to you but the more maps and globes the better! Just when you think that it’s enough, it is not. Once you’ve decided on a color palette for the bridal shower/wedding, print some maps and buy some globes with the same colors and use them to decorate the space. You could hang them up or even just place them at different tables like games/gifts/favors areas!
Travel Themed Decorated treats
It is truly not a bridal shower without treats! You could buy travel themed cupcakes, cake pops, cookies etc. Having a beautifully decorated dessert table has been increasingly popular nowadays which I have been loving!
Not all brides want a cake at their bridal shower as some all go out on their wedding cake however, you can’t go wrong with cake! There are so many cute and simple cake designs that are travel themed you can find! Every time I search up travel themed cakes on Pinterest, I fall in love!
Travel Favors
Although favors are not a must and have been not as popular lately, they sure are cute! I absolutely love the luggage tag favors that I often see! Aside from this, if you’d like a more useful or perishable favor to give, you can give packaged treats like trail mix, boxed cupcakes/macarons etc!
Travel Themed Bridal Shower Games
Some people may think it’s cheesy but it is so fun having games at any party! You get to see your family and friends get creative, competitive and have a good laugh! There are lots of travel themed game packages that you can get some Etsy that are editable and are fairly inexpensive! Here are some of my favorites that I’ve found that are travel themed:
Travel Themed Bridal Shower Signs
Welcome your guests to your bridal shower with a gorgeous themed welcome poster! A gorgeous and personalized poster starts your event off right and remind everyone that they are celebrating someone super special in their life! I absolutely adore the different templates you can get online however, it is super cute to design one yourself on a software like Canva too!
Travel Themed Photoshoot Area
Of course, to remember the bridal shower for years to come would be to take lots of photos! Having a photo shoot area so guests can take photos with the bride-to-be is the perfect addition to the event! Having phootshoot areas are awesome to have because guests are dressed up and looking beautiful so lots of photos are needed! Search up some inspo and use what you already have or hire a photoshoot company to set everything up for you!
Thank you so much for reading this post all about planning a travel themed bridal shower. I hope the bridal shower is everything you imagined and more!
