 Party Ideas:

  • Wine Tasting-have guests vote on their favorite red and favorite white wine…then have these at your reception
  • Have your guests sign a cork with a fine tip sharpie at the party (on end of cork), after the party, hot glue the corks onto a wooden or metal initial letter of your new last name. When gluing corks be sure to position them so guests’ names show.

 

Décor Ideas:

  • Corks, corks and more corks
  • Fill vase with corks, add rice lights with battery pack to the vase
  • Spray paint empty wine bottles, fill with baby’s breath or dry tall twists for centerpieces
  • Fill rose bowl with corks and then nestle an LED candle in center of corks

 

Fun Twist:

  • Consider monogramming your gift of glassware for the couple with their last name initial
  • The couple could preview their signature drinks for their reception to the shower attendees
  • Ask each attendee to bring their favorite liquor, wine or mixer to build the couple’s bar
  • To make it a little more interesting…assign each attendee a letter…they have to bring something that begins with that letter.  They can find a brand or a type that starts with their assigned letter.  What makes it fun is that they have to get very creative on some of the letters.
