Need help with Spice it up shower

queen_bee101 · March 2011

I am trying to plan a bridal shower for my sister and want to do a "Some like it hot" and/or "Spice it Up" theme... Not necessarily lingerie specific, but being open/creative to whatever it means to add spice to the marriage.

I think it's a really fun idea, but I'm lacking in the creativity department for invitation design and wording.

Can somebody help me with ideas for how to word (and/or design/decorate) the invitation? I'm thinking I'd like to say something about bringing a gift to help spice up the marriage, being creative to what that means, etc. Could be a poem or something fun like: "Roses are red, chili peppers are too..." and then go on to say something about spicing it up.

Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

Any thoughts/ideas???

TIA!!!

What else besides lingerie were you thinking this would include? If I received an invite like this, I would assume it was a euphemism for a lingerie shower.

Oh,and please, please check with your sister, especially if people like moms and grandmothers are going to be invited.

It's not meant to be racy at all, just fun. I did a bit more brainstorming last night, and I think this is where I'm headed (so far at least):

The theme of this shower is Add a Little Spice
(next line a few options but so far this is my fave):
Cookware, linens, and lingerie all suffice
Please be creative and have fun while you choose something "hot"
Lets spice up this marriage before they tie the knot.

Then I'm considering to go on to say something about being open to interpret what spicy/hot means... herbs/spices, candles, cookware, linens, lingerie, etc... unless I've got it covered up above.
The second line could change to something like:
Be it a candle in the bedroom or cooking spanish rice...

Any thoughts?

That's how old I am...I went right to cooking

I'd head to a local mexican/oriental/indian/market and get spices, cooking oils, a cookbook, assorted stuff and make a basket.

I'm not that old and that's where I immediately went too. Penzey's spice gift boxes are awesome.
