Designer Wedding Dresses

Hosting a bridal shower? Are you stressed out over what games or activities to play? This list of ten bridal shower activities should help!

1. Bride and Groom Trivia: Before the shower, write down as many questions as you can about the bride and groom. These questions can range from innocent to racy, depending on how comfortable your guests and your bride/groom may be with them. Ask the guests the questions and have them write down their answers on a piece of paper. The guest who wins is the won who had the most questions correct!

Finding the perfect dress, shoes and accessories for your wedding can take several weeks, even months. If you’re planning an Orlando wedding, you can count on bridal professionals and consultants at several boutiques and retail stores in the area. Whether you’re shopping for the Big Day or want to pick up gifts for the bride and groom, here’s where you’ll find some of Orlando’s best bridal boutiques and shopping venues:

Weddings often take place in the summer, which means showers are taking place throughout the spring months. Finding the right gift for a bridal shower is important to show the bride how much you care.

Whether the bride is a sister, a cousin, or a dear friend; it is necessary to select that bridal shower gift with an extra dose of care. After all, it will probably be the only bridal shower of hers that you attend, and you want it to be a special experience.

Our very best friend, daughter, sister and all around loved one,
is blushing and happy, a bride to be doted upon.

With a giant cake, lots of coffee and a round of pastel mints,
we’ve plenty to eat and presents delivered with out stint.

A bridal shower ever so staid and a bit over planned,
until the margaritas come out and we giggle because their grand.

The first package is opened, careful the paper won’t tear.
Every tear is a child and who wants dozens to rear.

A hole in a paper plate and the first bow pushed through,
no grander bouquet for a wedding practice soon to ensue.

Don’t feel obligated to include everyone in your bridal party.

Weddings are best when they are intimate with close family and friends. Don’t feel pressured to include distant cousins and long lost high school or college friends in your wedding party. Remember that members of the wedding party are also counted as guest and keeping this number under control will help keep your overall wedding budget under control.

Do include his family and close female friends.

Bridal showers of the new millennium aren’t the same traditional bridal showers from the days when your mother was the bride-to-be. Give the customary bridal shower a makeover by using a special theme.

A bridal shower isn’t just about giving presents to the bride. It’s about the future missus getting together with her girlfriends and closest family members as a single girl. Tamer than the bachelorette party but just as silly, bridal showers are a great way to let the bride unwind in the pre-wedding chaos.

If you’re tired of the same old, check some fresh spins on old bridal ritual.

Quiz The Bride
Put the Bride in the hot seat and quiz her on how well she knows her Groom! Video the Groom’s answers before-hand, and get your guests involved by guessing just how many questions she’ll get right!

Water Bottle Labels
Everyone has seen candy bar labels at a shower, but they’ll really be grabbing the water if you make a custom label to glue right over the top of each water bottle!

Door Prize
As guests arrive, have them write down their name, birthday date and anniversary date. The guest with a birthday or anniversary closest to the Bride’s wins the door prize…and the Bride now has a list of birthdays and anniversaries so she can send a card!

When a couple is considering getting engaged, the first and foremost thing to consider is the engagement ring. What kind of ring setting does the future bride want? How about diamond shape or type of metal? Not to mention, the budget set for the ring. There are a number of factors to consider, perhaps the latter being the most important because it determines all the other factors. More and more couples are finding out that bridal engagement ring sets are the way to go.
These sets are meticulously designed sets which fuse together an engagement ring and matching wedding band into one uniform set. There are two primary kinds of bridal sets. Parallel rings are two separate rings that can be worn either together or individually. Typically, the wedding band is plain or will not have any stones or accents that would interfere with the engagement ring. An integrated ring set is a more intricately designed set where the engagement ring and wedding band must be worn together or it looks inadequate. In this set, the wedding band usually consists of minor features designed to enhance the engagement ring.

Bridal registry – what’s it all about? Traditionally, there have been two reasons to set up a gift registry in the days leading up to your wedding. First, it allows you to select items you need in your new, married life. Secondly, gift registry is designed to make shopping easier for your wedding guests. These days the term “bridal” is a bit misleading. It’s not just the bride who should be involved with this aspect of wedding planning. “Couples” registry might be more appropriate.
