PLANNING THE PERFECT BRIDAL SHOWER

There are countless ideas for throwing bridal shower, so how do you decide? Here are a few ideas that just may inspire. Remember to keep the bride’s favorite hobbies and interests in mind - shopping, pampering, dancing, eating, gambling, etc., and you’re sure to create a fun and memorable celebration!


SEX AND THE CITY COCKTAIL PARTY

Celebrate like the sexy, fun and eccentric New York City gals of Sex and the City. Serve colorful drinks like cosmopolitans and chocolate martinis. Guests must of course dress in fashion-forward attire and be prepared for no-holds barred girl talk.

You could even take your Sex and The City cocktail party to a new level and enjoy a getaway to New York City. Or, how about a weekend at a luxurious spa, complete with mud baths, massages and shopping. For something a little less expensive, enjoy a getaway to a friend’s cottage.

PAJAMA PARTY

Relive the excitement of the slumber parties you loved growing up! Watch your favorite movies, paint each other’s toenails and play truth or dare for old time’s sake. Don’t forget the popcorn and smores and be sure to have muffins and fruit on hand for the next morning. Gifts ideas could include pyjamas the groom would appreciate and favorite chick flicks.

TIME TO CELEBRATE!

Guests are assigned an hour of the day and asked to bring something the bride would find useful. At 6 in the morning, for instance, she would be getting ready for work and might appreciate a coffee maker or luxurious bathrobe.
