WTF Is A Groom Shower?

Welcome to BT & WTF Hubby’s
Groom Shower

August 28th, 2021 at H Tasting Lounge

So, wtf is a groom shower?

That was the million dollar question, echoing throughout H-Tasting Lounge! Who knew that one “Groom Shower” banner could create such an atmosphere of intrigue, curiosity, and amusement?

Sans debauchery, the groom shower is a classy event - especially when planned by a wife + fiancée duo who met in teacher school!

We saw the Groom Shower as a modern party to celebrate our partner’s involvement in the wedding process (hello joint decisions) and a time to shower these important men with love.

Ask and you shall receive:

The idea was born in jest after D’s fiancé, Mr. BT asked, “Do I get a groom shower?”

We thought it would be more fun if we made it a joint groom shower with WTF Hubby! Just the anticipation of seeing our significant other’s faces during the reveal had us in giggle fits.

Shower theme and colours:

The groom shower was saturated in plush velvet navy, glints of coppery-gold in the lounge decor + tea set, soft ocean blues, and a harbourfront view in Coal Harbour.

It was the perfect place to enjoy our seafood-theme afternoon tea! (Seafood just makes things a little more special and fancy, right?)

Describe the top three best moments and why:

  1. The reveal! We had two days to pull everything together and seeing our significant other get spoiled + enjoy themselves was such a moment of pure love.

  2. “Remember to always have your groom shower with another groom,” were WTF Hubby’s words before the four of us broke into another fit of laughter.

Granted, a joint groom shower made it really tricky for customers & servers alike to figure out who was getting married to whom. We were all incapacitated by laughter to even form words, so we’ll clarify it here: BT and Hubs aren’t getting married to each other. LOL.

The bro-dal love was there though!

3. Each groom received a bag of goodies to take home! We included boutonnieres (the struggle to put one on is REAL), fresh hydrangeas from the garden (our turn to give them flowers), a mini personalized book of why we love them, friendship bracelets, and a cake topper for those Instagram-worthy shots.

Oh yeah, WTF Hubby also got a Starbucks gift card for $23.03!

We had the grooms play “Would you rather?” to see how well they knew each other!

Describe your top 3 favourite shower details:

D added the perfect finishing touches with balloons, custom photo banners + photo stands, and cute, moustachey place cards! If you want to know how to elevate a space, she’s your gal! She really has an eye for detail.

She also got crowns for the guys to show H Tasting Lounge who was reigning supreme in our hearts that day!

Working with my bestfriend to create such a hilarious and loving memory together was the standout detail of this groom shower! Good thing we got a booth to contain all our crazy energy!

Did the guys suspect anything?

“I had a feeling,” said WTF Hubby :)

Are you thinking of showering your groom with love too?
