A wedding
shower brings loads of fun for everyone involved:
the bride, the guests, and even the hostess.
The wedding shower is generally hosted by the
maid or matron of honor, or a close family friend.
According to traditions shower are held prior
to the wedding, this can be stressful and busy
time for the bride, so make sure the date matches
her schedule.
The main aim of wedding shower is to assist
the newly wed couple in setting up their new
home. The wedding shower is always organized
with a particular theme such as, recipe showers,
camping showers, linen showers, etc. While choosing
a theme the likes and dislikes, personality
and style of the bride are kept in mind. With
a wedding shower theme that matches the unique
qualities of the bride, guests will be encouraged
to use their imagination and brainstorm creative
gift ideas. Once you select a theme, you can
use it to tie in decorations, gifts, even the
food and games.
A newly wed couple just embarking on their life
together needs personal and home electronic
goods for greater comfort. The obvious gifts
can be DVD players, video game consoles or accessories
like speakers and remote controls. For a couple
whom is on the move most of the time will greatly
appreciate a car video system, iPod or MP3 player
and cell phones as well.
If the bride is ignorant of cooking skills it
would be a great idea to organize her shower
around a culinary theme. All the guests would
be asked to bring their few personal recipes,
written on cards; the cards would be given to
the bride in a unique recipe box or book. In
addition they can bring gifts such as live herb-garden
starts, a serving tray for breakfast in bed
or a picnic basket for two.
You can
also try an artistic shower theme. Ask each
guest to bring a piece of art to decorate the
newly wed home. Unique wedding shower gifts
will not only fill their home but also holds
importance to the newlyweds as these gifts will
remind them of close friends and family members
forever.
