Bridal Party/ Shower Themes
There are innumerable ways to spice up the festivities before your big day.
We want you and your bridal party to have a blast! Here are a few ideas that
may help you in preparing for your bridal party/ shower.
1. Lingerie Theme:
 This is more of a risqué type of shower which consists of gifts that are
catered to the bride’s personal side. Gift ideas could be particular
garments for her honeymoon, undergarments, books, lotion, makeup,
stockings, etc.
2. The Kitchen Shower:
 Ask guests to choose gifts the bride will need to establish an ideal
newlywed kitchen. Gifts might include tools, utensils, cookware, bake
ware, appliances, kitchen linens, and cookbooks.
 Potluck can be an option, or having a cook off where recipes can be
traded off and the fact that in the end the meal is prepared together.
At the end of the shower the bride to be will have a collection of her
favorite recipes.
3. The Round the Clock Shower:
 Guests are assigned one of the 24hrs in a day. Once designated time is
selected, guests, will choose gifts that reflect the time that they chose:

Example:
a. Tammy received 10pm. She could choose bath salts, spa mask,
bath fizz balls, etc.
b. Dianne received 6am. He gift could be coffee mugs, jam, coffee
beans, coffee/espresso maker, etc.
Everyone that is participating needs to be prepared to share their
choices.

Budget Tips:
Here is a list of budget tips to prevent the Bride and Groom to be from going
over budget. We want you to stay on track and achieve your envisioned Wedding.
1. Be Realistic:
It’s hard, because we all love to indulge in ourselves. However, when it
comes down to it, we can’t invest all our savings into one “pot”. This is just the
beginning of your lives together as a couple; there will be future expenses that
you will have to pay. Being realistic is indulging in moderation and realizing what
your priorities are.
2. Shave off some layers:
If you are encountering an issue where the vendors are pretty much
soaking up your funds, something needs to shave off some layers. Traditions and
requests set aside, try shaving off things that are at the bottom of the priority list
like the possible following:
a. Cut the guest list.
b. Do you need the filet mignon AND lobster per person?
c. Do you need that particular overlay for your table settings?
d. Do you need the utensils made of pearl? How about simple silverware?
e. Do you need silk linens? How about silk or lamour?
*These types of questions is what you and your partner need to question
when shopping for vendors.
3. Not all beautiful things come with a large price:
There are multiple ways to accommodate luxurious items. The smart
shopper buys plain items and dazzles the item to their liking. DIY projects come
into play and your creativity lets loose. Don’t worry we are more than willing to
help and accommodate.
4. Swapping out flowers:
This is a tough one, but it can be done. Being a fan of colorful flowers, it is
hard to put done those that are aesthetically pleasing. However, going back to
being realistic, if you can’t afford it trade it for something different or cut down
the amount of the type of flower if you don’t want to swap.
5. Focus on yourself:
It is your wedding, no one else’s. Plan it how you want.
