• Many couples who are remarrying feel they should skip the bridal shower, but in doing so, their family and friends miss out on celebrating the happy couple's engagement. As an alternative to the traditional large party, bridal shower games and house gifts, shower ideas for a third marriage can reflect the couple's shared interests in a smaller group setting. Make the hobbies or interests the theme of the shower for a unique and creative celebration honoring the couple.
  
  

Wine Tasting

• Some wine stores have accommodations for on-site wine-tasting parties with catered hors d'oeuvres, or a restaurant can host the event. If you live near a vineyard, this venue offers the most ideal setting. A wine tasting lends itself well to a third marriage shower because a smaller group of about 10 people is best. Wine-tasting venues are generally open to including live music for entertainment and providing a separate area exclusively for your party. Guests can keep with the theme of the event and give a wine rack, champagne bucket, wine gift set or accessories, gourmet food and wine basket, or a vintage wine collection as a shower gift.
  
  

Casino Evening

• An evening out at a casino provides a diverse menu of excitement. The evening can begin with dinner reserved for your party at one of the casino's restaurants. After mingling, guests can try their luck at casino games. Depending on the number of people in your group, the casino may offer some deals, such as $10 toward gambling. Since many casinos have free entertainment, you can incorporate one of the shows into the bridal shower celebration by ending the evening with some after-dinner drinks and a musical show. As a gift, invited guests can contribute to hiring a limousine for transportation to the casino for the entire party or for an overnight stay for the couple at the casino's hotel.
  
  

Comedy Dinner Show

• A comedy dinner show provides and all-in-one venue for a bridal shower, with food and fun all planned out. If you contact the production company ahead of time, some comedians will give a shout-out to your group, incorporate the couple in one of their skits, or prepare some jokes geared toward the remarrying couple. In keeping with the theme, guests can give gift certificates for a dinner show or board games especially for married couples.
  
  

Dinner and Dancing

• Try a night on the town, such as a club or a ballroom dance studio. Plan the evening based on the couple's dance preference, whether it's country/western, disco, Latin or ballroom. Check local clubs in your area for DJs or live bands that match the couple's interests. Some clubs have a separate party room, or you can rent a hall and hire a caterer and DJ. For a gift idea for the couple, have guests contribute to a gift certificate for private dance lessons.
