MemberHelp! Looking for ideas / inspiration for a hat themed bridal shower (mad hatter, english tea, etc). Basically, we want everyone to wear a funky hat or fascinator, but want to tie it into a theme somehow.
Send pictures and links – I’d really appreciate it!!

MemberI think you have to pick a theme that involves hats… english tea party, mad hatter OR derby hats. I think if you mixed all of them..it would look pretty crazy. My fave would be english tea party.. make sure you put hat required on the invite! i would say you should decorate (english tea party) with lots of pink roses and lace! Make sure you have lots of tea to choose from and buy a ton of tea pots from thrift stores. You might also want to stock up on some hats for those guests that ignore your request.
Memberoh! for my baby shower, I had an english tea party theme… we gave away individual tea cups and saucers with gormet tea bags in the cup!
Memberi love the english tea party idea…except that my mother is cooking and she refuses to have anything but italian food. so i’m not sure it would go together!
MemberHOnestly I think it would all be in the presentation… For Pasta, place them in martini glasses, for soup, place them in shooters! I think they would look really fancy if you could get your mom to cook but you handle the presentation. The italian foods I think of off the top of my head are pastas with sauces, tomato basil and fresh mozzarella stacks, lasagna, risotto and pizza! They can all be plated really well! If you are having cookies and pies.. that makes it even easier! Just pull the theme together with decor and invitations! I am having a parisian lingerie shower, but are prob just ordering chinese food! lol

MemberMaybe have a prize for the best hat? I went to a party like that once and everyone LOVED it!!
Maybe this crazy hat themed wedding will give you some inspiration? http://offbeatbride.com/2012/03/los-angeles-hat-wedding
Member@DeathByDesign: yep that was part of what i wanted to do. and also, we were going to buy some bulk straw hats and ribbon, feathers, etc and have people make hats at the tables as well!
MemberI am having a team party bridal shower and am SO exvcited! My mom put on invites “hats required” and we are having tea food, but if your mom is stuck on Italian, I agree, just the way you present it can change the theme.
MemberI like the hat making contest. Maybe instead of straw hats it can be to make a fascinator a la the royal wedding.
MemberMember@amy.finden: dealing with my mom is always a “tender” subject, but i’m going to do my best to suggest some of the presentations here. i think it will make all the difference!
