Not totally flat-three themes of your bridal shower Next So you are planning a bridal shower - and everyone says you need a theme. "Around the Clock." The Home and Garden. "Yawn!
There are not many times you get to be silly and girly in this world, so a bridal shower should not be wasted. Make sure it's really fun. It's simple, just think --- what makes your wedding special, and let you lose with the theme. Here are some ideas to charge the noggin and organize something unique.
"As high school - only better."
Revive quality time with your hat tilted a few days of married high school. Search all the visits a bit embarrassing to the year she graduated - let's say the 80s. (Creating a gift CD of same for all your guests - they secretly enjoy them when nobody else is around.) Yes, they still make banana clips! pass, with great dangling earrings Hoop inexpensive and loads of jelly bracelets (remember? You wear a hundred on each arm, a vintage of La Madonna). Smudge of pink, blue eyeshadow and green nail polish and bright metallic blue mascara. Play the soundtrack of Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles.
Now for the games: segment a flashback classic, such as Madonna "Holiday" in three or four CDs. Divide your guests into the same number of groups, and invite them to present a choreography to accommodate their share of the melody. Bring them together in 10 or 15 minutes to perform their mini-head before a video camera that you've set up for the occasion. Strip each routine in order. Give a prize to the best choreographers (in fact, give a prize to everyone for being a good sport). Together you have created a music video that no one could forget. With a little luck, it will mysteriously appear at the reception.
Wine and Chocolate
Sometimes, when you visit a lot of vineyards in the wine country and you're really lucky, you hit on "Wine and Chocolate" day. But you do not have to wait to hit the jackpot - you can organize your own. Plan an easy afternoon popular, easy drinking wines like Merlot and champagne, and ask every guest to bring one form of creation of chocolate. pain au chocolat Some of our favorites:, chocolate papaya crepes, chocolate covered ginger, and yes, jalapeno brownies.
But do not stop with the store - make a mess, pure and simple of it. Lots of piles of velvet cushions around the room, drape the walls of heavy fabric, burn some incense. Put some soothing music of Morocco, and have a few flowers in plum colored pails or vases you've dressed groovy gold fringe. Now go to the bottles in pretty glass flutes, dropping a rose petal in each one. Then dig! (Have bags of leftovers in hand for blissed-out clients who want to enjoy the spoils later at home).
Occupational hazards
Few things are more flattering than your friends around to develop a part of your work. After all, you spend day after day there, and what you are doing is probably important to you. Is the wife of a teacher? Hand shaped candles as favors apple ... lunchbags and place them in brown paper. Give him a table eraser "to erase any bitterness" after she is married: spray paint gold or silver top, and all have the sign with a Sharpie. Sew or glue fast clip-on or a bandana for her dog's collar that reads, "Teacher's Pet".
Is your wife a lawyer? Hire a Judge Judy impersonator (yes, they exist!) To make a poster. Ask each guest to "submit a brief" - a gift of lace underwear for the honeymoon, accompanied by a personal note to wish the bride well.
