Perhaps the wedding isn't quite the time to live out your dreams of a cowboy-themed party, but once you've sent out the wedding invitations, consider going with a theme for one of your pre-wedding parties. Even if you're not having a casual wedding, you can still inject some levity into any of the pre-ceremony traditions. Consider the following themes for all the important fetes preceding the big day.
On The Docks: The perfect way to herald an outdoor or poolside wedding is with a dockside engagement party in the warmer months. Echo red and blue wedding invitations with these quirky Dock Party Invitations - you provide the checker tablecloths and swim-up cocktail bar.
Martinis, Martinis, Martinis: Make it clear that there will be no B.Y.O.B. at your rehearsal dinner by holding it at your favorite upscale lounge. Since you can't really attach this theme to your wedding invitations, keep up the vodka-positive attitude with these Olives Jubilee Party Invitations and let people know that you're registered with Bloomingdale's and Grey Goose.
Casino Night: The bachelorette party thing can get so tired; after all, how good-looking are strippers anyway? Add an extra kick to the party by holding it at your local casino and spending the night hitting the buffet and gambling. Don't overdo it if you've already sent out your Vegas-themed wedding invitations, but for more suburban ceremonies, send out these Girls Casino Night Out Invitations and prepare for a night of slot machines and the clink of coins.
Sushi Celebration: Is your idea of a great bridal shower not so much with the white lace and cupcakes? Sleek up the affair with California rolls, Kappamaki, and Nigiri Toro, and get them there with these Sushi Party Invitations. Are you taking the Japanese theme all the way to your wedding? If you couldn't convince your fiance to let you send these out as wedding invitations for your Japanese-themed affair, at least let your guests know before the ceremony that if their tastes are not quite so raw-friendly they'll at least have the tempura selections.
