Lavender Bridal Shower: Invitations | Recipe Cards | Personalized Recipe Binders | Decorations | Aprons | Recipes | Thank Yous and Favors |

Looking for a sweet and stylish way to celebrate your favorite bride-to-be? A “Stock the Kitchen” bridal shower is the perfect blend of thoughtful, fun, and fabulously practical. And if you love all things vintage and shades of purple, a lavender color theme adds the perfect touch of soft retro charm.

Whether you’re the maid of honor, a best friend, or a helpful family member, this guide will walk you through how to plan a stunning lavender-themed kitchen shower—from invitations to party favors, plus delicious lavender-inspired food and drink recipes your guests will love.

Start with a Lavender-Inspired Invitation

Set the tone from the very beginning with a vintage-style lavender invitation featuring sweet polka dots, a classic white bow, and retro kitchen charm. Make sure to include RSVP info, date, time, location, and a little note about the theme:

Recipe Enclosure Cards

Include a recipe card with the invite and ask guests to write down and share a recipe of a favorite dish they love to make.

Personalized Recipe Binder Keepsakes

From grandma’s lasagna to the best-ever chocolate chip cookies, these cherished recipes will be collected at the shower and presented to the bride in her personalized lavender recipe binder—a keepsake she’ll treasure forever.

Lavender Bridal Shower Decorations

Think gingham, polka dots, and dainty details. Cover the table with a lavender-and-white tablecloth, and top it with vintage-inspired drinkware and/or compostable paper plates, napkins, and cups that match the invitation design. Add fresh sprigs of lavender in mason jars or teapots for centerpieces that double as aromatherapy.

If you want to go all-out, have the bride and bridal party wear matching aprons in lavender polka dot prints—it’s adorable in photos and makes a great gift they’ll actually use!
