We're always on the lookout for the next big bridal shower trend, and when we say we spend hours and days looking through TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest and even just good ol' Google, we mean it. Because we know all of you brides and bridesmaids out there simply don't have the time to scroll through it all.
Long story short—our team of party-planning pros are delighted to announce that we've found THE best bridal shower trends for 2024. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of bubbly (Prosecco or kombucha—your choice!) and cross finding your shower theme off your to-do list!
Diamond of the season
Calling all Bridgerton girlies! If you’re a fan of romantic Regencycore details (or just want to imagine what being Queen Charlotte’s fave would be like), this is the bridal shower theme for you. Encourage everyone to dress up in their fanciest frocks, serve copious cups of tea and petit fours, decorate in delicate pastels (or ultra-saturated hues if you’re more Team Featherington) and ooh and ahh at that sparkler on the bride’s ring finger every chance you get. (P.S., dearest gentle reader, we have an article all about how to throw a Bridgerton-themed party that you may enjoy!).
Our top planning tips:
Food: Finger sandwiches, Earl Grey shortbread cookies, oranges, petits fours, scones
Drinks: Tea (especially Masala chai), champagne, elderflower-infused drinks, Madeira, cherries jubilee cocktail
Dress code: Regencycore or floral tea dresses
Garden disco
While “Last Disco” is taking over the bachelorette party scene, don’t think for one second that you can’t break out the disco balls before that bash! Instead, bring them out to the backyard for a dazzling disco bridal shower garden party! Opt for bright florals and threads to match the energy of the disco vibes, hang mirror balls from the trees and nestle them into some planters and reuse some old scuffed-up records as placemats. Can you think of a more perfect day-to-night bridal shower? (We can’t.)
Our top planning tips:
Food: Disco fries, kale salad, fondue (chocolate and cheese), seafood cakes, mini black forest cakes, layered Jello fruit cake
Drinks: Blue Hawaii cocktails, piña coladas, tequila sunrises, Poppi
Dress code: Colorful glitz and glam, sequins and fringe
Love in bloom
Is the bride more “garden” than “disco”? You can’t go wrong with a classic love in bloom bridal shower. Not only is “love in bloom” a delightful play on words, but it's easy to bring to life and personalize. Mix the bride’s favorite florals with matching tableware in the same color palette and use flowers to decorate everything from the table to the cake.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Cakes decorated with edible flowers, in-season fruit and vegetables, garden salad, pasta salad, tarts, Belgian chocolates
Drinks: Jasmine tea, elderflower cocktails, prickly pear margarita, sangria
Dress code: Florals (groundbreaking, we know)
She’s on cloud nine
Picture this: Soft, varying shades and textures of white and pale blue and guests floating around the room dressed in all white as they celebrate you. You can go literal with this and hang dreamy clouds above the tables, or create a white balloon photo-op backdrop with “On cloud nine” written on it, or decorate with white candles, ostrich feathers, pampas grass, gauzy table runners and white florals everywhere.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Cotton candy, white frosted cake, cream puffs, vanilla macarons, finger sandwiches, white pizza
Drinks: White wine, mint juleps, lemonade
Dress code: White, pale blue
She’s been scooped up
Undoubtedly the sweetest shower idea ever, this ice cream-themed bridal bash brings all the nostalgia and feels. Set up a DIY sundae bar (or hire an ice cream truck if your budget allows) and create a confectionary wonderland with candy-colored decor and pastel attire.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Ice cream with all the toppings, waffle cones, charcuterie cups, small cakes with sugar ice cream cones, popcorn, cookies, strawberries
Drinks: Frozé, strawberry margaritas, milk shakes, root beer
Dress code: Pastels
Something blue before “I do”
If her favorite hue is blue, you know what to do! Blue glassware, florals (hydrangeas, cornflowers, forget-me-nots and delphiniums are some lovely choices), flowy runners and bows (bows are a major trend right now) are the way to turn this timeless theme into an unforgettable experience for the bride and her guests.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Bleu cheese beef sliders (or anything with bleu cheese!), blue velvet cake, blueberry pie, fresh blueberries and blackberries
Drinks: Butterfly pea tea, frozen blue moscato margaritas, mermaid lemonade
Dress code: Blue, violet, white
Love at first spritz
If we were to declare one of the 2024 bridal shower trends as THE trend of the year, it might just be this one! While Aperol spritz is the most popular tipple to treat guests to at this shower, there are plenty of others to choose from. In addition to serving bubbly bevvies, you can continue the Italian theme with lots of delicious pasta, antipasti and gelato, and decorate with fresh citrus, fringed umbrellas and gorgeous Mediterranean florals. It truly is the perfect al fresco bridal shower theme!
Our top planning tips:
Food: Pasta of choice (we love this easy recipe), antipasti, olives, Aperol or Campari olive oil pound cake
Drinks: Aperol spritzes, fresh-squeezed orange juice, Italian lemonade
Dress code: Orange, yellow and summery prints
Tea with the bride-to-be
Who doesn’t love a grown-up tea party? Whether you’re going for a classic English garden tea party with dainty finger sandwiches or a fantastically mad tea party à la Alice in Wonderland, one thing is for sure: Everyone at the shower will adore it.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Finger sandwiches (we have 3 scrumptious recipes right here), scones with jam and clotted cream, fresh berries, mini cakes, macarons
Drinks: Tea (obviously)
Dress code: Floral frocks (wide brimmed hats and lace gloves optional)
Petals & Prosecco
*Sigh* Your bestie has found her perfect match. Well, now, so has Prosecco! Serve your sparkling wine alongside a profusion of petals as you toast to the bride-to-be. Consider creating a DIY mimosa or bellini bar and decorating in various shades of pink for an extra romantic touch.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Charcuterie, crudités, mini savory pies, caprese salad
Drinks: Prosecco, mimosas, peach bellinis
Dress code: Pink, peach, cream and floral prints
Lucky in love
You can bet on an epic time with this retro bridal shower theme! Channel the glamor and energy of vintage Vegas with a party filled with bright lights, fun activities and games (you could do roulette, mahjong, poker, anything!) and endless cocktails and mocktails. Celebrate love and let the good times roll!
Our top planning tips:
Food: Cocktail wieners, bacon-wrapped dates, mini club sandwiches, fish tacos, dice-shaped cake pops, poker chip-decorated cupcakes
Drinks: Dirty martinis, Manhattans, Long Island Iced Tea, raspberry-pineapple punch
Dress code: Red, black, hot pink, gold, silver, bright neons and anything sparkly

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:some text
- Signup sheets for standalone events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for recurring or multi-day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers and parent-teacher conferences.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
