Have you ever seen a picture of a Pandora charm bracelet before? Sometimes, they can look like a regular piece of jewelry, with a few different colours and styles of beads on them. Other times, they are completely unique and reflective of the experiences and history of the owner. They also make for a great bridal shower idea if you’re looking for something unique!
Why Host a Pandora Bracelet Bridal Shower
Have you ever had a good friend who is about to get married and relocate to the ends of the earth? For example, moving to New Zealand from Florida? Have you seen international baggage restrictions these days? If you do not have a company paying for your move for you, you can end up very out of pocket, very quickly.
So your BFF is about to get married and you want to give her something memorable, long lasting and maybe even valuable, but she has less than zero places to put it, so the full set of china is out. Maybe you want to spring for a diamond, but your friend probably recently got one of those and they’re generally quite expensive.
How about you and those dear to her throw a Charm Bracelet Bridal Shower? It’s perfect for the bride who has everything or truly wants nothing (except for cash!).
They’re also great for those brides who already have everything. Maybe it’s a second marriage, or maybe the couple has been living together a long time and doesn’t need a new set of dish cloths.
How to Host a Pandora Bracelet Bridal Shower
Pandora Bracelets seem to be all the rage, and as I’ve mentioned, they’re completely customizable. There is also a big range of prices available, so guests are not forced into spending $50 or $100 per person.
First start by picking out a bracelet base from a variety, including pure metals for people who are allergic.
Then, invite everyone to bring a charm. They can go into groups to give the charms as gifts, too
To make the charm bracelet bridal shower as memorable as possible, give everyone a recipe card (or several!) and have them write out the reason that they selected that particular charm. There are likely some amazing stories to share (or maybe even some that aren’t safe for sharing!). It is very similar to the Stock the Pantry bridal shower idea.
What’s great about this is everyone can bring something special for the bride. It’s a fantastic keepsake!
Pandora Charm Ideas for a Bride to Be
If you want to share some ideas with the other shower guests or just need some inspiration after being invited to one of these bridal showers yourself I found some amazing charms that should fit on any Pandora charm bracelet. I especially love the custom ones!
Personalized Engraved Charm
I love that you can put anything you want on this charm so it’s truly a personal gift. Tip: engrave it with the wedding date!
Photo Charm
Another personal option, this one lets you add a custom picture. Choose a nice engagement photo of the bride and her spouse!
Wife Pandora Charm
This is a nice one if you want something really wedding themed. Just make sure that no one else is getting this one before you pick it up since it’s pretty popular.
Wedding Dress
Another great wedding option, this one dangles to remind her of her wedding day. Plus it’s budget-friendly, too.
Friends Charm
Instead of a wedding themed charm choose something that symbolizes your friendship. It could be an inside joke or reference, or a friendship charm like this one.
Engraved Photo Charm
If you want to use the couple’s likeness but don’t want a full photo (or prefer the dangling charm style) this is another unique, custom option. Just send in a picture and they’ll engrave the photo to the front. Don’t forget a thoughtful message on the back!
Best Friends Charm
Not much explanation needed here! I do like the double style of this charm though.
Something Hobby/Interest Related
Remember, this bracelet is for the bride to wear after her wedding, so you don’t want everything to be wedding themed. If you know her hobbies and interests well enough choose a charm related to those.
Actual Handwriting Charm
This is a beautiful custom gift, especially if you’re close to the bride. Send in a short, handwritten message and it’ll be engraved on a charm bracelet bead. I also like that you can get different, high end options for the charm itself including 18k gold, rose gold, and sterling silver.
Pretty Pandora Charm
There are so many Pandora charms out there! Instead of going with a cutesy or custom charm, opt for one that’s just going to look pretty on the bracelet. It will add a nice balance, especially if you choose something colourful like this butterfly charm.
Just Married Charm
If you’re hosting a Pandora bracelet wedding shower for a bride it would be super thoughtful to pick up a “just married” charm and hold off giving it to the bride until the wedding day.
Hopefully you and the bride enjoy this unique Pandora bracelet bridal shower idea!
