Bridal Shower Poems
I get a lot of emails asking for bridal shower poems. The cleaning product, candle and candy poems are the most popular ones.
There are a lot of versions of each poem and you should customize them to fit the bride. If her name, or the groom's name, is the same as a product you can try to add it, or if you have trouble finding a specific product just remove the line. For example, my brother-in-law's name is Scott so we added Scott toilet paper to the cleaning products poem. We couldn't find one of the candies mentioned so we just read the line without showing the product.
Here are a some links to different bridal shower poems you can send to your bridesmaids if you'd like them to read one at your shower:

And if you have a good poem, or have a link to one, please upload the information into the comments section below.
Hey thanks for sharing those links... huge collection of poems... http://www.poemstogo.tv/bridalshowerpoem.html here is one more poem... I found interesting... :)
I'm wondering if you know the "Red Dish" or "Red Place Setting" Poem that is typically given to the soon-to-be bride with a red plate and place setting at her bridal shower? Please email me either way! Thank you very much I've been searching everywhere!

Sorry Jessica, I've never heard of the "Red Dish" or "Red Place Setting" poem. I looked them up in a few bridesmaid and shower planning books in my library and didn't find anything. Sorry.
You may want to try the message boards on iVillage and the knot.com. Where are you from? It might be a regional thing.
Best,

Do you know the poem that the bridesmaids read that involves bottles of alcohol for each occasion the new couple comes to? There's about 5 or 6 bottles with a poem for each. one is for
1-wedding night
2-honeymoon
3-first christmas together
4-first wedding anniversary
5-first baby
There might be another one, but im not sure. I've been looking everywhere for it and cant find it. Thanks!
Sorry, I don't know that one but I'll look into it and see if I can find it.
These are the poems that attach to each bottle of wine, that you make into a basket for the bride.
Wedding Night
The night you have dreamed of is finally here
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear
You’ve wanted so long to find your perfect mate
Sip this wine and toast this perfect date
The night is meant for you to share
Enjoy each other – a perfect pair!!
First Fight
When fights occur and tempers get hot
Pour a glass and be thankful for what you’ve got
If you always agreed it would certainly be a bore
And by asking for Krissy’s hand Bernie is surely
in for more!
First Anniversary
Been married a year, where did the time go?
No longer newlyweds, now you are pros
Hope the days found you in good health and
good spirit
Keep saying I love you –
one always needs to hear it!
Now toast this first date, it’s certainly not the last
And as you build your future don’t ever forget
the past!
First Dinner Party
Open your home to entertain and eat
Catch up with old friends and new ones to meet
When the night is over share this bottle of wine
But don’t sit down yet – it’s clean up time!!
Christmas Eve
A wise man said wine is better than beer
And now is the season for lots of holiday cheer
So pop the cork and relax a bit,
And when the night is through,
Kiss goodnight, close your eyes
And Santa will be good to you!
First Baby
The news that a baby will soon share your life
will make you a mother, not only a wife
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes
through bad
Krissy the loving mother
and Bernie the dearest dad
Sadly
Bernie must drink this one alone, and Krissy with an
Empty glass
Sit back and relax – nine months they quickly pass!
