What Is a Recipe Bridal Shower?

Collecting bridal shower recipe cards is a fun way to provide the to-be-weds with recipes they'll later prepare in their kitchen. Guests write down one of their favorite dishes on a card and place it in a bridal shower recipe card box at the event. Those who are unable to attend can still contribute by including their recipe with the shower RSVP. The host may also ask a few guests to serve their recipe card cuisine at the shower to get the guest of honor excited about making it at home.

How to Ask for Recipes for a Bridal Shower

It's important to let guests know ahead of time that you're collecting recipe cards for the bridal shower. Include wording in your bridal shower invitations along with blank recipe cards for convenience. If there isn't enough room on your invitation, include an insert card in your envelope that includes a message and instructions. Inform guests via word of mouth as well.
