“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Bridal Shower

Planning a bridal shower? A beautiful and elegant theme is “Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Think diamonds, pearls, little black dresses, martini glasses, and of course the iconic robin egg blue Tiffany’s box.

Suggested Attire:

*Encourage guests to wear Little Black Dresses, just like Audrey Hepburn

“Arrival” Favors:

*As guests arrive, hand out black sunglasses, tiaras, and pearl bead necklaces. Both of these can be purchased inexpensively and in bulk at www.orientaltrading.com or www.rinovelty.com

“Thank-you” Shower Favors:

*Martini Glass filled with Tiffany blue candies (M-n-M’s or Jelly Belly jelly beans), place a cello bag over the top
of the martini glass and cinch around the stem and tie with a blue ribbon. These candies are available locally at Special Occasions Party Supply on Stroop Road in Kettering. Regardless of your event theme, you can find all the colors of these candies sold individually at this great store.

Linens:

Go for the Tiffany Blue tablecloths in satin for an elegant look. Visit Prime Time Party Rental and ask for Aqua in the Matte Satin. Add a white satin runner which will look like the white ribbon traditionally tied around the box

5 foot round tables-seat 8 guests
-120″ linens will hang to the ground
-90″ linens will be lap length

90″x132″ banquet linens will fit a 6 foot banquet (rectangle) table
90″x156″ banquet linens will fit an 8 foot banquet (rectangle) table

Don’t forget white matte satin linen napkins. Add a “diamond” napkin ring for some bling!

Centerpiece Ideas:

*Square Vase, filled with “diamond” scatter and white hydrangeas

*Stack of 3 Tiffany boxes (you can find plain wrapping paper in the robin egg blue and wrap 3 boxes), tie with white ribbon.

*Over sized Martini Glass, filled with “diamond” scatter, draped in pearl beads, with a Tiffany box in the center of the glass. Don’t have real Tiffany jewelry boxes? These can be ordered from www.orientaltrading.com or purchased locally at Special Occasions Party Supply. Don’t forget to tie a white satin or organza ribbon around the blue box.
