Family Issues

It is the last day of you being single. It will be the last time on earth that no male or female will be constantly hounding you around. But what happens after your wedding will be either a lifelong of love or misery (depends really). Nevertheless, you should enjoy the last day you have being single by having a bridal shower.

Bridal showers are fun for the bride because instead of her planning and doing all the stuff, the party is instead intended for her. The party is usually is organized by a close friend and not an immediate family member. The bridal shower is usually done four to eight weeks before the wedding to prevent the busy schedule. It is important to make sure that the bride and other attendants of the party are free during the day of the party.

The party is usually held on weekends and also follows themes too. The usual number of guests is around twenty to forty people. To prevent the person from buying more than one gift and help her save money, only invite her to one party. Avoid duplicating the guest lists. Instead of having multiple bridal showers, just have one big one by combining tem all.

The old traditional bridal parties only included women. Nowadays the party can also include the groom and other men. The men I am talking about there are not those chip and dales that women hire during the bridal shower. The men that I am talking about could include the guy friends that you have. It could be more fun for others to have their guy friends included, but others may have more fun when there are only women. Having only women can actually make them talk about girly stuff only. Whether you include men or not, just get the party creative so that everyone may have fun.

If the organizer is as dull as wood here are some suggestions on things to do on a bridal shower:
•    Pass photos around and let the guest guess the year. The pictures will be fun because it tells stories that might be memorable for you and your groom. It will also give you and your friends the time to remember the great times you had.
•    Have a scavenger hunt around town. If the event is done at night bring a flashlight. Also bring cell phones for communication. Add some humorous items like her groom’s underwear. However don’t take this to the extreme that you might get the bride caught by police and end up in jail
•    Have a lingerie party. Invite some guys and fool them into wearing lingerie while you all wear PJ’s.

Have fun during your last day being single. Usually the bridal shower is there to take the pressure of your mind from being committed to your groom for the rest of your life. Married life can not be that bad, there may be lots of couples breaking up but I’m sure there are more that are staying together for the long run.
