Bridal Shower Invitations
Posted On Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at at 2:36 AM by JoanEverybody know the scene of the typical bridal shower, the bride is showered by gifts, bridesmaids and girlfriends as they gush about wedding details, plans for the wedding and the cute gesture the groom made the night before. The bride spends most of her shower opening gifts and playing breaker games.
Some bride and grooms have taken to the idea of a couple's shower as opposed to the traditional bridal shower, which was held just for the bride-to-be. A couple's shower is typically more like a cocktail party, barbecue or dinner party where friends, family and co-workers are invited. Gifts are still given at the shower, however they are more geared to the soon-to-be-married couple, rather than just the bride. Some guests may even bring gifts that are just for the groom or just for the bride. These types of showers are really great for the bride and groom who have been living together for a while or the inseparable bride and groom, who just don't want to be celebrating if it's not with their other half.
While you're going a bit of the traditional path for your couple's shower, feel free to add a theme into the mix, to make the shower more fun for everyone attending. Choose an interest of the bride and groom like an 80's themed shower if the bride and groom grew up in the 80's, a beach shower if the bride and groom will be wed by the ocean, a board game shower if you want to step your game up, a sports themed shower for the sport fanatic couple or an around the world shower if the travels often, or met overseas.
Feel free to have separate activities at your shower, and vice versa for the women at the shower. If the groom is into sports, have the game on in the back room or set up basketball in the driveway while the women sip cocktails on your patio. Make it a fun event for everyone to make them very enjoyable.
