The bright yellow hue represents joy and positivity, so this theme is sure to set a cheerful tone! You can make the citrus themed bridal shower even more special with lemon themed decors, foods, games and party favors!
Today’s post is so special for me, because my own bridal shower was lemon themed, and I loved every minute of it! Check out my own invitations from 9th Letter Press, and read more about my special day here. Let’s get started so you can plan a lemon themed bridal shower all on your own!
Lemon Themed Bridal Shower Invitation Ideas
A lemon themed bridal shower can be themed in few different ways. You can check out each of the invitation ideas and see which option would best suite the bride-to-be!
Pucker Up
Pucker up is a play on words that would be just perfect for a bridal shower invitation! This these is fun and silly, so bright citrus colors and florals are definitely called for. You can opt for these floral & lemon invitations or choose something a little more neutral.
My own bridal shower theme was “Pucker Up!” and my bridesmaids didn’t skimp on a single detail!

She Found Her Main Squeeze
Main Squeeze is a great lemon themed bridal shower option that is more modern and clean with some bright pops of lemony yellow. You can opt for white and pink striped invitations, adorable lemon illustrations, or a classic lemon design. No matter what you choose, you really can’t go wrong with this theme!

Mediterranean Inspired Theme
The Mediterranean style theme is full of blues and yellows, along with some blue tile motifs. Still full of lemons, but with a touch of Mediterranean style. For the invitations, you can use these minimalist blue and yellow invitations with line drawings, or invitations with beautiful Italian tile!

Decor Ideas for a Citrus Bridal Shower
Decor at any celebration will create the perfect environment! Here are some absolutely adorable decor ideas for a lemon themed bridal shower!
Lemon Slice Balloons
Balloons make every celebration better, right? If you are throwing a lemon themed bridal shower, you absolutely have to have lemon slice balloons! They are so cute and really brighten up the room!
Honeycomb Centerpiece
Since these honeycombs are round, they are reminiscent of all the different kinds of citrus! I recommend using at least three colors; yellow, green, and pink, to represent lemons, limes and grapefruits!
Lemon Pink and Orange Hued Flowers
Flowers would be a delicate yet beautiful addition to add to the decor of the bridal shower. Keep the colors in the theme by using yellow, pink and orange colored flowers! Something like roses, chrysanthemums, or sunflowers would work!
Giant Citrus Fruit Balloons
You can easily make your own giant citrus balloons instead of buying special balloons! Simply use large yellow and orange balloons with a bit of green construction paper for the leaf!
What To Serve at a Lemon Bridal Shower
Lemon themed food is easy to find at the store or simply make at home, and is always delicious! So keeping with the lemon theme with the food, drinks, and dessert is a must. Here are some of my favorite lemon foods to serve:
Food
- Lemon pancakes or crepes
- Lemon pasta salad
- Deviled eggs with lemon
Drinks
- Lemonade
- Citrus-infused water
- Lemon drops
Dessert
- Lemon meringue pie
- Lemon mousse or lemon sorbet served in lemons
- Lemon bars

Hi Kelly!
I love the idea of the ballon bar and am going to use this for my shower! I wanted to see what size balloons you used.
Thanks!

Kristina says
I love the balloon bar and will definitely take your advice to steal the idea for my shower! What size of balloons did your bridesmaids use? And did guests write on deflated balloons – their writing looks so good on such a tricky surface! Did the gold sharpie show up well when they were blown up on the big day?
Thanks! Love it!
