Busy brides have a lot on their minds; this can be one of the most stressful times of a person’s life as they scurry around attending to details, pay vendors, think of more details, and pay more vendors. As the thrill of the first dress shopping excursion wears off, each item on the to-do list, even her wedding shower, turns into a chore. You may have to take matters into your own hands and surprise the bride into having fun. Here are some tips for planning a surprise bridal shower. First, make sure the bride likes surprises. Some people don’t; some people want something fun and relaxing to look forward to; some people don’t want you to invite their old roommate from college just because she’s a Facebook friend. Whatever the reason, surprise parties do not appeal to everyone. This is about making the bride happy, so ask yourself if the surprise will add or detract from her enjoyment of the shower. The problem with a surprise shower is that most brides will expect them. They may not know when, but they know something is going to happen. Making them think it’s not may add to your fun, but either she’s not buying it or she’s stressing that people don’t

So you’ve been chosen as a bridesmaid! Congratulations. You must be really special to the bride. You may be excited and eager to find out exactly what your duties will be. It’s only natural that you might have questions as to what is expected of you. Here are some of the basic duties of a bridesmaid. You’ll be helping the bride throughout the planning for the wedding. Now, this can mean different things with different brides. Some brides may want little help and just need you to show up at the ceremony. Others may ask for help along the way while choosing her dress, making wedding favors, sending invitations, etc. One of your main duties as a bridesmaid is to be there for the bride if she needs you and to step back if she doesn’t. You don’t want to be imposing on the bride’s plans. If she needs you, chances are she will ask you. But if you see something that you could help out with, it’s perfectly alright to ask. Say you see a darling shoe while you’re out shopping. You can definitely send a photo of it to the bride and see if she wants you to pick them up for all the bridesmaids. (Don’t worry; each bridesmaid will have to pay for their own pair.) But respect

In days not so long ago, a woman would set a formal table for every holiday and special meals. The display would include fine china, crystal, and her best linens—often handed down from a relative. She wouldn’t think of serving on mismatched or “everyday” plates and her flatware had to be silver. Times have changed. Today’s world is a hodgepodge of all sorts of traditions and styles. What’s a bride to do when registering for wedding gifts? Do you have to register for china? Can you just ask for things you’ll use every day? The good news is that the rules regarding wedding registries have changed. Today’s brides are free to choose anything and everything they want and will really use. Gone are the days when you had to register for a gravy boat and a chafing dish—even if you didn’t have a clue what they were used for. It was expected, often by older relatives wishing to carry on traditions. While there is certainly something to be said for tradition, brides today are not forced to go by any rules. Some couples skip the traditional bridal registry altogether and register at home stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot so they can renovate their new home. When

Depending on the bride and who’s hosting the bridal shower, the menu can range from 5 star restaurant cuisine to a backyard paper plate picnic. If you’re in charge of planning the menu for a bridal shower, you’ll want to think about your budget, where you’ll hold the party, how many people are coming and whether it’s a women’s only or a couples shower. All these details will help decide which menu is perfect for the event. Here are some suggestions to get you started. Ladies’ Tea Party This is a time-honored bridal shower luncheon theme. The menu can include individual pots of tea (ask friends and family to supply their china pots), finger sandwiches, light salads and petit fours and small tarts or cupcakes for dessert. You can include as much or as little on the menu as you like. But if you go with the tea party theme, you’ll want to include foods that are easy to pick up and easy to eat. You could have cucumber, tuna, roast beef and turkey sandwiches with the crusts cut off and halved into triangles. Then offer pasta salad, potato salad, coleslaw and even a soup that you can keep hot in a crock pot. This theme works best for an intimate setting at someone’s
