A wedding is one of the most planned and anticipated event in a woman’s life. In celebration of an upcoming wedding, family and close friends of bride throw her a party to wish her luck, bestow their blessings, and help her prepare for the upcoming nuptial. Sadly, the pandemic forced us to limit socialization and gatherings. But that doesn’t mean we cannot come together and throw a send off for the bride. Here are 10 unique bridal shower ideas that you can do during the pandemic.
Go Shopping
Arrange for a small group of guests to have a private shopping tour in malls and markets that are currently open. Don’t forget to prepare snacks and hygiene packs or a reminder of what to bring like face masks and sanitizer.
Make Cosmetics
Take the make-up bonding sessions to another level. Attend this DIY lipstick workshop with the bridal party. Better yet, make the shades you will wear during the wedding.
Attend a Baking Class
Satisfy your sweet tooth and learn how to make desserts in the delicious classes of Bakebe. This is one of the easiest to plan on this list. Book a class for the party and you’ll have your snacks, party favor, and fun-filled experience altogether.
Relax in a Spa
With strict health protocols in place, getting the whole gang at the spa may prove difficult. An option for a spa-themed bridal shower is to rent out the place and have guests drop by with their gifts, hangout, or get a massage. Check out THANN Sanctuary Spa for availability and reservations.
Get Your Nails Done
If massages are not up your alley, what about a nail spa? Plan a drop-by party where guests can go to the nail salon for a manicure and pedicure while hanging out with the bride and other guests. Observing social distancing and health protocols, of course. Try the services of Nail Jolly and see if they could be the venue for your bridal shower.
Pool Party
As the whether gets warmer, wouldn’t it be fun to lounge on the pool with the girls? If you have a swimming pool at home or in your building, great! Another option is to set up an inflatable pool in your backyard. Don’t forget the health protocols, social distancing, and the sunscreen.
Get Glammed for a Photoshoot
Plan a glamorously memorable bridal shower by planning and booking a photoshoot. Travel back to old Hong Kong in these gorgeous indoor backgrounds or walk the streets in traditional fashion for Instagram-worthy shots. Check out QiPao Rental and Photography for more details.
Pajama Party
Take the pajama party to another level. Go on a weekend trip with the bridal party for a glamping escapade at Lau Fau Shan Pak Nai. Enjoy a nature trip and relax in a chic tent or spend the night bonding under the starlit sky.
Staycation
If the bride or the guests do not feel like leaving the city, book a staycation in one of the great hotels like Rosewood Hotel Hong Kong. You can stay in your room or hit the pool deck for a proper bride send-off.
Go Virtual
If gathering the guests seem improbable, you can always take the bridal shower to Zoom or any other video conferencing app. Send out an invitation with cocktail recipes and printable favors. Then hop on the conference to spend an hour or so bonding with the guests through games and other virtual activities.
Celebrations does not have to stop just because of the pandemic. We can adapt to the changing times and include even those that are far away. Whatever theme you decide for the bridal shower you’re planning, don’t forget the safety and health of the guests, especially those that are high-risk or immunocompromised.
