Travel bridal shower theme ideas
There’s a lot of really cute ways to incorporate a travel theme into your bridal shower. These cute little sayings are a great starting point for your invitation and overall theme and can be incorporated into your decorations as well:
- Love is a journey
- Traveling from Miss to Mrs.
- The adventure begins
- Journey to marriage
- She’s saying ‘yes’ to new adventures
- Love is in the air (with a cute airplane theme)
We have several travel-themed bridal shower invitations that would be perfect for your shower. We customize everything for you – all you have to do is print, email or text to your guest list!
Travel bridal shower guest book ideas
We love the idea of having guests sign a globe with their well-wishes for the bride-to-be and groom! Or, find some vintage travel postcards on Amazon and have guests fill out their advice and well-wishes for the couple.
Another thing you could consider doing is a DIY “passport” blank guest book. FInd a cute picture of the couple to put on the front and leave the pages blank inside for guests to write their well-wishes.
Travel bridal shower decoration ideas
Decorating for a travel bridal shower theme is easy, thanks to the awesome theme! You can incorporate a travel theme into your decor by using:
- cute vintage suitcases
- old camera decor
- photos of the bride’s/couple’s journeys hung up on photo light strings around the shower venue
- flags from around the world
- globes
- vintage airplanes/airplane decor
- map banner
- printable travel quotes
Food and drink ideas for a travel bridal shower
You can really choose a diverse spread for your food and beverage menu. If the bride and groom are honeymooning in a particular country, you could choose food items and drinks that represent the country they are travelling to.
Or, you could just choose a signature dish from countries around the world and have a diverse spread of food and drinks! Thing Swedish meatballs, bangers and mash, schnitzel, perogies, cucumber sandwiches, Greek salad…the ideas are endless!
We also like the idea of doing a wine tasting where you offer samples of a variety of wines from around the world and guests choose their favourite ones. You could also do this with different beer from around the world, too.
There’s lots of cute travel themed disposable cups, plates and napkins to serve with your food and drinks, so everything can have a nice coordinated look with the shower theme.
Travel theme games
We love the idea of putting together a DIY game about the bride’s or couple’s travel adventures together. For example, “The first place the bride and groom travelled together,” “The bride’s favourite city,” etc.
Another idea is to have guests match how to say “I love you” in different languages from around the world. There’s lots of free ideas floating around if you Google it.
Travel-themed bridal shower favors
Lastly, leave your guests with a travel-themed favor as a parting gift. There are some of our favourites from Etsy and Amazon:
- luggage tags
- mints in mini suitcase packages
- mini travel-themed soaps
- airplane bottle stopper
- adventure awaits lip balm
- travel theme notebook
