Montgomery Showers That Skip the Paper Games

Bridal shower activities in Montgomery don't have to mean bingo cards and toilet paper dresses. Instead, guests blend perfume, mix lip color and leave with gifts they made.

We also set up for weddings, bachelorettes, birthdays and ladies' nights. Plus, kids and teen parties and corporate events are on our calendar too.

Bridal Shower Activities That Fit Montgomery


Montgomery has grown quickly, so many brides here have family across the Fox Valley. Showers often bring together grandmothers, coworkers and college friends who barely know each other. As a result, hosts want something that gets everyone talking.

A perfume bar does exactly that. Guests gather around the bases, compare notes and help each other choose. Then each one blends her own eau de parfum, the richer, longer-lasting style of perfume.

Those bottles also become the shower favors, so these bridal shower activities in Montgomery save the host a shopping trip. Meanwhile, the bride watches her friends mingle instead of sitting through game after game.

Shower tip. Spring and fall shower dates fill quickly, so book 3 to 6 months out.

Shower Spaces We Come To


We come to the places Montgomery families already use for bridal shower activities. If a hall needs proof of coverage, we send our insurance certificate too.

New-build homes

Open kitchens and great rooms in newer subdivisions give us plenty of space.

Restaurant private rooms

For a lunch shower, we set the bar along a wall while the kitchen serves.

Church halls

Fellowship halls suit larger family showers with long tables.

Hotel suites in Aurora

For a bachelorette party, nearby suites work well, and we pack out before checkout.

Three Montgomery Shower Themes


These themes borrow from the river and the fields nearby. Still, we tailor each scent and color to the bride.

Fox River Garden Party

Greenery, white roses and a fresh base bring the riverbank inside. Guests blend a light, airy perfume.

Boho Fields Brunch

Dried grasses, terra cotta and a warm musk base fit a relaxed brunch. Also, the bath bar adds a lavender soak.

Something Blue Ladies Night

Navy, silver and a sophisticated base make a ladies night shower glamorous. Then the photo booth seals it.

Two studios

Our Studios, and Why We Come to Montgomery

January 2027 brings our first studio, in Mokena, east of the Fox Valley. A bride and her sisters could book a time to make perfume or lip color there. Booked guests are served first, though we welcome walk-ins whenever the team has room.

Its private room seats a shower of up to 40, so moms often plan there. You bring the food, since there's a kitchen, and adults may BYOB. Then in late 2028, a second studio opens in Chicago. Until then, Montgomery showers mostly happen at home, and bigger guest lists of 40 or more always get the bars at their venue. Read about it on the studio page.

Montgomery Shower Questions


Do you come to homes on both sides of the Fox River?

Yes. We come to homes all over Montgomery, in both Kane and Kendall counties.

Is your studio near Montgomery?

It's a drive. Our Mokena studio opens in January 2027, so most Montgomery showers happen at home or a venue.

Can guests stay overnight nearby?

Yes. Aurora and Oswego are right next door, with hotels close by.

Can the perfumes double as shower favors?

Absolutely. Each guest takes her own bottle home, so the activity and the favor are one.

What if a guest has allergies?

We send full ingredient and allergen information before every event.

Do you use real floral materials?

Yes. Our blends rely on absolutes, the rich essence pulled from flowers, alongside CO2 extracts and essential oils.

Can we add our names to the labels?

Yes. Custom labels are a paid add-on. Order at booking, since they take about 4 weeks.

Do you also plan bachelorettes?

Yes. A perfume making bachelorette party is a favorite.
