Bridal
Showers can be Good Clean Fun

Banning, CA -Combine fragrant soaps, tasty snacks
and sexy lingerie bridal
shower favors and what do you get? You've got Girl Fun 101.
It's the makings of a great bridal shower and a fantastic way
to enjoy a pre-marital festivity in a relaxed environment accompanied
by those close to the bride. So, what are the points to cover
when planning such a fun affaire? The guidelines are really
up to you, however here are some tips to get you started:
1. Who plans it?
The host of this event is usually the bride's maid of honor.
2. Budget
While the maid of honor is traditionally responsible for the
expenses, the bride's family often assists by providing the
location or invites.
3. Guest List
Organize your guest list by asking the bride and groom who they
would like to have at the shower. Get address, phone numbers
and email addresses. Decide if it will be a "girl's only"
shower or "couples".
4. Theme
Decide on a theme that ties in with the bride's personality
and style in bridal
shower favors. A few ideas follow to help inspire you.
5. Selecting the menu
Although your menu should reflect your theme, aim for simplicity
to make this a day of relaxation for the bride, her guests,
and yourself.
6. Location
Choose a location that is easy to get to and will easily accommodate
the needs of the party.
7. Select the date
The bridal shower is normally around eight weeks before the
wedding.
Here are a few suggestions for some really creative
bridal shower
themes. This is where you can let your creative juices start
flowing.
One of my favorites is the "Healthy Bride"
shower. This is for the bride who loves to work out; include
healthy snacks such as smoothies and a salad bar. Gift suggestions
are healthy cookbooks, workout videos, sexy workout wear,
and sports equipment. A fun favor idea for this party is a
sports bottle for each of the guests. Check out having personalized
sports bottles or sports towels made up to commemorate this
occasion through promotional events companies. Most companies
will custom imprint orders as small as one or two dozen.
Another clever idea brides love is the "All
Girl Stress-Be-Gone" shower. Decorate this gathering
with scented candles, relaxing music and facials for everyone.
Facialists, manicurists and even masseuses can be retained
for a comfortable at-home splurge. Gifts ideas would be anything
that involves pampering, including a cozy robe, gift certificates
for a manicure, pedicure, facial, or a visit to her favorite
spa.
One idea catching on out on the West coast are
botox bridal showers; plump lips and smooth complexions for
all. Or try a pick-a-room shower such as kitchen-only or bathroom-only
gifts. On the other hand sleepover showers and house party
showers are a fun way to ease the bride into her newly purchased
house. Another fun idea is the stock-the-bar shower where
guests bring wine, champagne and wonderful bar accessories
and supplies to stock the new couple's bar, or if you're opting
for tradition, the lingerie shower is still a favorite.
Bridal
showers range in size, cost and can draw from a host of
ideas and themes to produce that very memorable gathering.
So, when arranging your event, select the style and budget
to reflect a fun party for all, especially the bride. Make
it creative, fun and simple. Should you begin to feel a bit
overwhelmed, let the words of John Lennon free you up to call
in some help from others in the bridal party-- "I get
by with a little help from my friends".
