wedding shower invitations - wedding planning 101

If you are thinking about hosting a bridal shower, consider planning a bridal shower brunch. Beach destinations continue to be the most popular choices for a romantic honeymoon getaway.

The pressure of choosing dresses for the bridesmaids is made more difficult by the fact that the bridesmaids are likely to have a variety of skin tones and body types making it difficult to find one dress that suits all of them. Try to choose a ring bearer and flower girl who are over the age of four and while the adult participants may only need to run through their part once, allow extra time for the child to practice their part several times. In this case you will need to compromise and find a color that all of the bridesmaids can agree on and that is not too harsh on any one particular bridesmaid.

Another new item to consider is a piece of jewelry, besides your engagement or wedding ring that was given to you by the groom such as a necklace or bracelet. The old saying, you won't know unless you try it, holds true for wedding dresses. It is important that drinks be served before the couple arrives at the reception because tradition holds that the guests offer a toast to the bride and the groom the moment that they arrive at the reception.

The key to planning a great bridal shower is to keep the bride's taste in mind during the planning effort. A final tip for creating and sticking to a budget is to realize that there are bound to be snags along the way.
