If you’ve ever been invited to a bridal shower, it’s very likely that you’ve delivered a small sigh of trepidation. Many shower parties, after all, can be full of awkward games and forced chitchat. That’s why every bridal shower should be limited to a small group of close friends. In this way, there will be less lags and lulls at your party. Also, make sure your activities are actually something fun and different.

For example, have everyone in the bridal shower party create their own pizza. You can go as elaborate or as simple as you want with this, but it’s a great activity everyone can enjoy. Plus, it will cut down on food or catering costs, because you can eat your creations when they’re done. As bridal shower favors, include love themed pizza cutters. They’re practical, and they’re a fun reminder of the party!

Lots of people are interested in having a nontraditional wedding. Especially since marriage is considered by many to be one of the most traditional institutions, people tend to seek out unique or interesting ways to tie the knot. One of the common ways to combat this traditionalism is by getting married on the beach. While the majority of weddings are still conducted in traditional churches, that still leaves a large chunk of people who flock to the Justice of the Peace, the beach, or other venues.

No matter what kind of wedding you want, it’s natural to want to commemorate your special day in several different ways. By far, the most common way is to take photos. But the bride and groom aren’t the only ones who want to remember weddings. If you’ve just witnessed the marriage of your son, daughter, brother, or sister, you’ll be just as anxious to remember the day as anyone else. Brides and grooms should keep that in mind and always remember to hand out wedding favors. Especially if you had a unique wedding, such as a beach wedding, don’t forget to hand out beach wedding favors. They’re sure to be as unique as the wedding itself, and everyone will have a great way to remember the day.

When people agree to go to a wedding, they are attending the party because they want to be there for their friend or relative on their special day. An added bonus for these guests is the fact that they’ll probably receive some sort of wedding favor. While some of these favors just end up tucked away in a drawer or even thrown away, the best tactic to take with wedding favors is to go unique and useful. People definitely want a way to remember the wedding itself, but they also want something that they can really use.

This usually means that you’ll have to get a little creative with your wedding favors. If you’re having a Vegas wedding, for example, consider giving everyone a roll of quarters wrapped and decorated in a festive manner. In this way, everyone can hop down to the casino and enjoy a few pulls of the slot machine on the bride and groom. These kinds of unique wedding favors are sure to be a big hit. And if you’re having a more traditional wedding, consider personalized wedding favors like a love-themed wine stop or champagne glasses with the date of the wedding etched into the glass. These are all useful tokens but will still serve as a great reminder of the wedding.

wedding-favorsSpecial occasion keepsakes don’t always have to be made of glass, silver, ceramic, plastic, or cloth.  In keeping with today’s ecological campaigns about minimalism and reducing clutter and waste, it seems a better, more realistic idea to give away edibles and beneficial items during weddings, parties, reunions, and other momentous happenings.
 
A few sensible couples have already put this in practice.  Rather than have an oversized cake made for the grand event, one newlywed pair opted for several little cakes which they then presented as wedding favors to guests and loved ones.  The petite cakes were packaged in cute cartons that carried the colors and motif of the bridal entourage, as well as a personal message from the husband and wife.  Of course, the recipients of the boxed cakes were thrilled with their booty and went home with smiles on their faces.

Another couple contributed to the Earth’s cause when they tied the knot.  They did this by giving everyone bookmarkers made of recycled paper.  More significant though was the message in the keepsake which stated that a mahogany tree has been planted in the name of each guest/recipient, and that this move will benefit more than just a community in the years to come.

bridesmaidI have worn some really ugly bridesmaid dresses, but the last wedding I was in was the worst. Belinda was getting married, and I was her maid of honor. We had been best friends since we were in nappies, and I would do anything for her. That includes wearing the most hideous dress I had ever laid eyes on. The thing was horrible. First off the colors included cotton-candy pink, baby blue and lemon yellow. Some could have mistaken me for an Easter egg! The layered-chiffon monstrosity was ruffled around the neck and on the trim, and had a gigantic bow at the waist. Even worse all the bridesmaids had to wear white stockings with the dress. Not only did I look like an Easter egg, but I looked like a fat Easter egg.

The only thing that got me through the entire production was the thought of the expensive bridesmaid gifts I knew Belinda would give us. I participated in the wedding because I loved my best bud, but I’ll tell you what—the diamond necklace she gave me didn’t hurt.
