**this article is part of The Man Registry's series on groom and couples showers
Overview: Each guest/couple usually brings a gift that goes toward or can be used on the honeymoon. Depending on the honeymoon destination, gifts range from excursions, to towels, to travel guides. Weddings and honeymoons are expensive celebrations that can be limited by finances, but a Honeymoon Shower will help ease these pressures.
Themes: Take a look at the culture, food, drink, music, and clothing style of the honeymoon destination. If it’s Mexico, serving tropical drinks, Mexican food, and hiring a three-piece Mariachi band are good options. The location of the party can always be spiced up by hanging up posters and laying out travel guides.
Games: Think about the traditions of the honeymoon destination. For Mexico, the bride and groom could be blindfolded at different times, and lead each other to a piñata. The piñata could be filled with gift certificates, cash, and other items for the honeymoon.
