Another couple’s daughter (from our Gourmet Group) also got married in 2014.
This lovely, beautiful then-bride-to-be loved playing with Barbie dolls when she was young. The hosts of her bridal shower took this fun time in her earlier life to creatively throw her bridal shower.
They used some of her old Barbie dolls to celebrate the-bride-to-be’s personality, and highlight some of the memorable events of her life thus far. Each Barbie was fashionably dressed and then showcased as the centerpieces for each table at the shower. Here’s a look at this fun bridal shower theme:
PLACE CARD TABLE
“Bridal Barbie” greeted guests when they walked in the door… A photo of the bride-to-be dressed up as a very young bride accompanied Barbie.
Each guest’s name & table were printed on a black luggage tag. The black luggage tags then were tied with ribbon to either a Barbie sunglass or shoe luggage tag.
TABLE CENTERPIECES
The “Wizard of Oz Barbie” on this table represented the bride-to-be as a third grader when she played Dorothy in the school production.
Each table also had old photos of the bride-to-be featuring that particular time in her life…
“University of Illinois Cheerleading Barbie” symbolized several significant things in her life…
She had been on her high school poms squad
She went to the University of Illinois, and joined Gamma Phi Beta sorority
She met her (then-future) husband at U of I
Barbie is dressed up for travel for this centerpiece… “Ciao Firenze” highlights her junior year in college studying abroad in Florence, Italy
Extra details were added to the centerpiece such as a passport, post cards, and mini books
Barbie & boyfriend Ken are dressed in beach attire for some “fun in the sun”… Delray Beach is a past and current favorite vacation spot for the couple
“Legally Blonde Barbie” celebrates the bride-to-be’s graduation from law school!
Barbie along with Ken are looking very stylish for their date going to see “The Book of Mormon”…
A very memorable night for the bride-to-be: her then-boyfriend proposed afterwards!
THE CAKE
Naturally, only a lavish Barbie cake for this affair…

BRIDE SILHOUETTE
The bride silhouette that was used on each “Table Name Card” (& was also part of the actual bridal shower invitation) reflected the same style of bridal gown that the future bride-to-be would wear.
