How to Choose Your Theme

The best theme reflects the bride's personality and makes everyone in the group feel included.

1

Know the Bride

What does she love? Is she outdoorsy, a foodie, a homebody, or a party animal? The theme should feel like HER.

2

Consider the Group

Think about fitness levels, budgets, and comfort zones. A theme everyone can enjoy creates the best memories.

3

Match the Destination

Your theme should complement your location. A beach theme works in Miami, but a cozy cabin calls for Camp Bach.
