How much fun would it be to plan and dress up for a 1950's bridal shower?  If you're looking for a fabulous shower theme that inspires everyone to get dolled up for a few hours of FUN a 50's party is a GREAT way to go!

Back in the 1950's just about every bride-to-be was expected to become "just-a-housewife" and mother after she was married so when it came time to plan her bridal shower, it was basically a Stock the Kitchen kind of affair. Not that there's anything wrong with that.  There isn't.  In fact, most bridal shower gifts are intended for kitchen use even today!

​But... we do not expect every woman who's getting married to become a slave to her kitchen but that doesn't mean she wouldn't want some nice new things for when she AND her new husband decide to do some heavy cooking in there.

​And that's what makes a good old-fashioned 1950's Housewife or Stock the Kitchen theme SO MUCH FUN!
