Are you planning a winter wedding shower and looking for wintery theme ideas?
Yes, you can have a generic wedding shower in the winter but what if you want something more exciting? I’ve got 17+ winter wedding shower theme ideas for you. Some of them are very specific themes, while others are broad theme categories which you could develop in many different ways.
Cozy Themes
In my mind, winter equals cold and cold demands cozy. If it’s not cold in winter where you live, maybe some of the other ideas will work better!
Warm and Cozy
So just create a theme that is all about warm and cozy! Hot food, hot drinks, . . . I don’t know. I just keep seeing fuzzy plaid blankets! I guess you could decorate for a wedding shower with fuzzy plaid blankets . . . but use what you have to create that warm, inviting environment we crave in the cold winter months.
Christian Home Library
Because wintertime is naturally that time of year when people (used to?) sit around in their cozy living rooms reading books.
Handmade Home
As a gardener (homesteader?), spring, summer, and early fall are not good times of year to focus on handmade projects. There just isn’t time! For any family (even those that don’t overwork themselves) that lives a seasonal lifestyle, winter is a great time for those bigger projects, as well as a better time for relaxed creativity with any size project: sewing, woodworking, knitting, crocheting, learning forgotten skills. Turn this into a theme! Decorate with handmades, have some creative activities, and focus gifts (if desired) on the producing aspects of homemaking.
Home, Sweet Home
Because winter and homeyness go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Wintery Themes
Just go with winter! Build a shower around whatever the bride and groom love about winter. Maybe it’s warm and cozy (see above!) or maybe they actually love winter weather. Or maybe they just like how winter weather looks (that would be me)! Here are some specific ideas:
Winter Wonderland
All Things Winter
Cozy Winter
Holiday Themes
Winter has several holidays that you can use for wedding shower themes . . . Just make sure the couple like that holiday and would enjoy a shower with a holiday as a theme!
Christmas
New Year’s
Valentine’s Day
Be My Valentine, or see below for general love and hearts theme ideas.
Love and Hearts Themes
There are many possible directions to take a love or heart themed shower!
- Love and Hearts
- 1 Corinthians 13
- Home Is Where the Heart Is
- Ephesians 5
- Love and Respect
- Two Are Better Than One
- Two Become One
- Love Is Sweet
Specialty Showers
These are shower themes that focus on specific types of gifts (such as books or sewing supplies) rather than ordinary household goods. Depending on the couple’s needs and interests, these could be great seasonal options for a couple who doesn’t need a lot of general household gifts.
Gardening (focused on planning and prep, which is what happens during the winter)
Storage and Organization
DIY
And there you have it: 17+ winter wedding shower theme ideas!
