10 BEST FRIENDS-THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER IDEAS FOR HOSTING THE ULTIMATE FRIENDS PARTY

b23c033c-a6fb-493f-b05e-fcbe6a8d6288-rs_768In 2013, I threw my best friend what seems to be the first-known FRIENDS-themed bridal shower. Buzzfeed, Cosmo, Comedy Central UK and others have shared the news, and I blogged about it here.

Today, “FRIENDS” is now a popular theme for parties and showers – especially since the show continues to thrive in syndication and both Generation Z and millennials are newly obsessed (even if they were just being born when the show debuted).

HERE ARE MY PICKS FOR THE TOP 10
FRIENDS-THEMED SHOWER IDEAS EVER!

  1. The ultimate FRIENDS-themed invitation.
    I’m biased, of course, as this is my design, but I truly feel like it’s the best FRIENDS-themed invitation. It comes in several colors and everything can be customized. I can vouch for the customer service (you get to work with me!) and the quality. Plus, I can print them for you!

  2. This awesome photo backdrop!
    Ladies, we love a good step-and-repeat, no? This easy to re-create backdrop will delight your guests and have them snapping selfies and creating the best Insta-stories about your event! All you need is purple wrapping paper and a yellow frame (this handmade frame on Etsy is GREAT!).
  • The “trifle” and a killer shower food spread.
    Who can forget the TRIFLE episode?! It’s a shower gotta-have! But there are so many food moments throughout the 10 seasons of “FRIENDS,” you should have no trouble coming up with themed food that will give everyone a chuckle as they make a plate. Here are some of my faves from around the web:

  • The cake.
    If you want an amazing centerpiece, plus a delicious cake, this is the one! Created by Just Desserts by Jess of Thornwood, New York, this is by far one of the best FRIENDS-themed bridal shower cake out there. Although, there are many!

  • FRIENDS-themed costumes.
    I love the idea of stepping up your shower or party game with costumes. Who doesn’t love a creative costume party? This customer of mine did FRIENDS-themed costumes and it was amazing what guests came up with!

  • A Central Perk coffee bar.
    No FRIENDS-themed shower is complete without a coffee bar worthy of Central Perk. All you need is a great pot or two of coffee, an assortment of different mugs (bonus points for giant mugs!), and a Central Perk sign! Like these:

  • The party favors.
    Affordable and used by most all people, coffee cups are a great party favor, especially when we’re talking about FRIENDS. You’ll find so many FRIENDS-themed coffee mugs on Etsy!

  • FRIENDS-themed name tags.
    Using silly names from the show, each guest can pick a different name tag to wear during the shower! A great conversation starter!
