I am hosting a wedding shower for my niece. She and her fiancee have been living together, had an engagement party and have a well-stocked kitchen. After that, they don't have alot left on their registry, and we decided we'd like to steer shower guests towards the idea of gifts to "pamper the bride", although our "theme" is chocolate. Can you help with some wording that might convey the above?

Since your niece really has all she needs and, family members really aren't supposed to host showers, why not host a charity shower? Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

What a great idea!! The traditional gift giving shower really has run its course in my view. So, this is a wonderful transition.
Which ever direction you choose to go, you could list the theme 'word' next to the word 'shower', as in: Chocolate addict shower. After listing all of the pertinent info (date, time, place) you could offer a few suggestions.
But, please remember with theme showers, we really don't want the options to be expensive. Guests don't typically appreciate being expected or told what to purchase. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
