You'd be amazed at the number of couples who actually met at the gym or while working out. When you think about it, it's an excellent way to meet someone because you know you have at least that one thing in common. If that commonality has lead you to the altar, use the way you met as the inspiration for your bridal shower. And for this theme, it doesn't have to be just for the girls. Bring the guys along for a perfect co-ed shower for all of your fitness friends. Whether you're health conscious, love the outdoors or, perhaps, met at the gym or on the World's Biggest Loser television show, you and your guests will enjoy this interactive bridal shower idea. Here's how to plan it!

Invitations: Wouldn't it be fun to print your invitations on a card shaped like a tennis shoe or a gym bag? There are tons of designs that will complement the health and fitness theme.

Location: Start with a great spot, like a park, beach or cool workout facility. You can even reserve the rock-climbing wall at your local sports center to really take it to a higher level.


Activities: Whether your guests are fitness fanatics like you or not, both the guys and girls will enjoy a little tug or war, volleyball or a bike ride. You can even organize a race or a leisurely 1K walk around park. Be sure to let your guests know to dress for a day of fun.

Food: Set up a juice or smoothie bar, and let guests design their own healthy drinks to enjoy. You can even create your own signature drink for the day. It goes without saying that healthy snacks, like crisp veggies, turkey burgers, salads and fruit, should be served. There are plenty of delicious options that are good for you, too!

Shower Favors: Miniature gym bags or backpacks make too-cute bridal party favors for your shower. They're also unique wedding favors that can continue the theme on your special day. Fill them with trail mix, sunflower seeds or even granola bars with a special note from you.

Gift Ideas: For a couple who already has “everything”, this is a great theme because guests can give creative gifts, like tickets to a professional sporting event, fitness equipment for the newlyweds' home, or a getaway to a fitness resort. Or you can treat them to a couples massage, post workout.

The best thing about a fitness theme? You won't get stuck playing baby shower games like this one!
