Revelion 2010

A bridal shower is composed of different shower ideas, from the shower theme, decorations, food to shower favors. The first step in planning a bridal shower party is to decide the theme of the celebration.

When choosing the theme, it is always best to think about something that reflect the interests and likes of the bride-to-be. For example, you can plan a kitchen-themed shower for a bride who loves to cook.

After the shower theme has been decided, you can now proceed to other shower details such as the bridal shower invitations. Choose invitations that compliments the shower theme. There are so many types of invitation designs that are available both in online and local retail stores. The number of invitation should be based on the number of guests you wish to invite. If you want to save extra bucks, you can buy a pre-printed set of invitations or make your own using your personal computer.

The theme of the shower is also your reference when choosing the bridal shower decorations. A good choice of shower decorations should give an aesthetic function as well as a practical function to the party. The basic bridal shower decorations needed are the table cloths, table napkins, centerpieces, glasses, draping fabric, banners, and other wall and ceiling ornaments.

In order to make the bridal shower more fun and memorable, plan several bridal shower games. There are so many bridal shower games to choose from. You may include traditional games such as Balloon Pop Games, The Life Thread Game, and guessing games and trivia about the couple. Of course, you will need to choose games that compliments the shower theme also.
The food you will serve should be also based on the theme of the shower. For instance, if the shower is a Mediterranean-themed party, then basically the menu you should serve are Mediterranean delicacies that include the best of Italy, Greece, France and other Mediterranean countries’ recipes.

The wedding shower or bridal shower is an important part of the wedding process.  It not only gives the bride and her close friends a chance to get together before the wedding but also allows those who are close to the groom to learn more about the bride and her bridesmaids.  However, before planning for the actual shower events shower invitations need to be sent out.  Here are some guidelines to help you with the process.   

 

When to Send out Bridal Shower Invitations

 

Usually you would send out wedding shower invitations about 4 weeks beforehand. You could ask for reply about two weeks before the event if needed. This provides plenty of time for guests to reserve the date of the event without being notified too far in advance. 

 

What to Send and Include

 

The obvious things are the date, time, and location of the shower and the name of the host. If you are having a special theme shower, do not forget to include special instructions so the guests can bring any required items to the shower. Many guests appreciate if the location at which the bride and groom are registered or a suggested list of gifts for the bride is also included with the invitation. Often we would recommend written directions or including a map with the invitations. Lastly, be sure to include a phone number to call in case people get lost on their way to the shower. 

 

Who is Invited

 

First let me tell you that this article was NOT intended to be humorous at all. It was simply meant to be an informational piece about shower heads and what people preferred. The more I investigated the more I found there were huge differences between what men want vs. what women want in shower head. The more men and women I talked with the more obvious and humorous the differences became. I even had much insight into the completely different yet hilarious shower habits and “rituals” of men and women. As funny as these habits are most men will relate to the men’s habits and women will relate to the women’s habits. I bet you will too.

What will really tickle your funny bone is when YOU present or email this article to your partner, friends, relatives, coworkers, or whomever you know. Be sure to ask them their opinions on it. I will venture a guess that the responses you receive will be humorously similar to the observations I have made (even though they are completely blown out of proportion).

Before I get into the shower head differences it may be helpful to note the shower habits women and men have. This is important because there tends to be a direct relationship between these habits and what shower head is preferred.

Women: Their Shower Ritual

Most men cannot even fathom the strange “rituals” that go on when a woman showers. They only thing men know is that when the door shuts this “ritual” will last anywhere from 30 minutes to about 5 hours. After which the door swings open, steam erupts out of the bathroom, and a barely noticeable figure is standing, almost glowing, in the midst of it. It is pretty much like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Shower stall benches can be an important safety feature a person needs in order to take a shower.
