The planning of Bubbles' Bridal Shower...

A place to keep all of my thoughts and planning for my best friend Sarah's bridal shower and wedding stuff.

She's Bubbles (Sarah). I'm Muffy (Julie). We've been friends since junior high school and share a TON of memories. I have the privilege to be in her wedding to a very, very sweet and wonderful guy named Adam. They met on eHarmony in 2008, got engaged on her birthday (Sept. 5, 2009), and they are getting married in northern Michigan on June 26, 2010.

I'm helping plan her bridal shower (will be sometime in May 2010), and the planning process has started.

I'm also using this journal to keep other thoughts together regarding toasts, presents, etc. for Sarah and Adam.

AROUND THE HOUSE SHOWER
Each guest brings a gift for a certain room of the house. You might bring towels for the bathroom, a vase for the living room, a teapot for the kitchen, lingerie for the bedroom. It's not rocket science, folks.

SEASONAL SHOWER

Like the above, but for one specific season. For example, if the couple is moving to Saskatchewan, a winter shower could provide gifts such as blankets, books, a soup pot, or fireplace tools.

KITCHEN SHOWER
Each guest brings something for bride-to-be to use in the kitchen. Such as a cordless telephone to aid in making dinner reservations. (Just kidding.)

HOBBY SHOWER
Each guest brings something for the couple's hobbies. Examples might include binoculars and compact discs if they like the opera; camping equipment if they're into the great outdoors; travel books, film, and a scrapbook if they're globe-trotters; or a telescope, sunscreen, and motion-sickness pills if they're into sailing. You get the idea.

HOW OLD IS SHE?
For this "Guess the bride's age" game, take about 10 pictures of the bride at various ages and pin them to a board. The guests have to guess her age in each picture, and write it down. You provide pens and paper, and number the pictures. Have a 1st and 2nd place prize for the most right answers. This is a great game because it can be played through out the shower as the guests are mingling. (Thanks to another great BridesmaidAid.com reader for this suggestion!
)

SCRAPBOOK SHOWER
Each guest mails a momento-a picture, play bill, ticket stub, matchbook-to a bridesmaid who compiles them into a scrapbook that is presented to the bride at the shower. Another way to do this is to send each guest a blank photo album page and let them decorate it themselves, bring it to the shower, and voila--a unique and personal gift for the bride!
