What kind of music should you play at a bridal shower?
You might be asking yourself questions like, “What kind of music should I play at a bridal shower?”. “Do you even play music at a bridal shower?”.
Yes, we think including the perfect background music at your bridal shower can really enhance the experience. Have you ever been to a party with no music playing? It can feel pretty awkward, right? Music played at a low volume can fill in those empty moments of silence.
Ok, so what kind of songs should you play at your bridal shower?
There are a few things to consider when making your bridal shower or wedding shower playlist.
The most important thing to consider (in our opinion), is the guest list. Most bridal showers or wedding showers are made up of a big mix of people.
You are most likely going to have older family members like grandma, mom, & older aunts mingling with younger friends of the bride-to-be (friends from high school and college). It’s also very likely that there will be younger guests at the bridal shower (younger sisters, cousins, nieces, etc.).
You want the music to be appropriate for everyone at the bridal shower.
Stay away from songs with lyrics that would not be appreciated by older guests (or little kids).
Another thing to think about when picking music for your bridal shower is you want the music to enhance the shower experience, not distract or take away from the special moments.
You might want to consider music that is fun and light-hearted. Choose songs that simply play in the background and add to the ambiance.
We have put together a bunch of great music options below.
