Monograms and Mimosas

Looking for a great new theme for your next bridal shower?  Try the classy and fun monograms and mimosas theme that has been gaining more and more fans in recent years.  You may think that shower guests will feel limited if you keep the gift parameters to only monogrammed items, but in truth, most guests will appreciate being able to narrow down the long lists of registered items for couples and hone in on great personalized gifts that the bride (and groom) are sure to love.

And what better way to celebrate all of this personalized gift-giving than with mimosas!  Signature cocktails are no longer just for wedding receptions.  Create your own signature mimosa for your shower or offer a variety of mimosa options with a beautiful, well-stocked mimosa bar.  Don't just limit your mimosas to orange juice and champagne.  Add some flair and flavor with raspberries, strawberries, mango and even fresh juice from blood oranges.  Then switch things up with a nice crisp prosecco instead of champagne.  Or better yet, offer a variety of spirits including a nice dry champagne, prosecco and a dry cava.  Throw in some optional ingredients for guests to add like a splash of Grand Marnier and fresh mint, and you will have a colorful, flavorful beverage bar that will sing.
