Bridal shower is mainly for the bride while the engagement party is mainly for both.
Go with a Shower Dance, both sexes can attend :)
If you are invited to both and you are a close friend (some relatives are friends) it is your choice. If the Maid of Honor has the poor taste to invite the same group to the Bridal Shower and the Bachelorette Party and the above does not apply, it is your call. Personally if the latter were the case, I would not attend.
if you share a bank account, yes put both names!
If you are invited to the bridal shower and the wedding it is usually customary to buy a gift for both events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well if you are invited to bridal shower as well as wedding.... then definitely you need to take care of the budget. Because now you have to spend twice. So the best solution to this is for bridal shower buy something not all that expensive...some things that come to my mind are: # Wedding Bowls & Plates # Wedding Night Lingerie # Tees for Brides # Spa Gift Sets # Drinkware # Cookbooks for Newlyweds
usually its the maid of honor who hosts the bridal shower but i don't see why the mother of the bride couldn't do it it would make me feel more comfortable id i was planning the bridal shower for me daughter
Typically no. A bridal shower is usually given by friends and relatives well before the wedding to gift the new couple with things they can use for their home, and the couple usually registers together for these items. A bachelorette party is given closer to the wedding date (maybe the weekend before) and is much relaxed. The gifts are usually for the bride only and may be more suggestive in nature (lingerie, bath and shower products, etc).A bridal shower is a party where you invite female friends and family (that are invited to the wedding) to an afternoon party. You serve food, you have a cake, the bride to be opens her presents. The whole point of a shower is to shower the couple with gifts. Normally the attendants and possibly the MOB pay for the shower.A bachelorette party is where you invite female friends and family out to a bar or to Vegas for drinking and strippers and other debauchery. Normally you don't invite your Grandma or Mom, although I've seen both attend. Presents are involved but sometimes penis shaped straws are. Everyone pays for themselves at a bachelorette party, although the bride really shouldn't have to buy her own drinks.
* Etiquette is to put the bride-to-be's name and then her fiance's name next. All gifts at a bridal shower (unless a theme bridal shower of nothing but lingerie) is for both couples. You can also sign the card from you and your mate.
the best place to buy baby shower items in Baslidon is at a party supply retailers. there is a store called party city or party usa, both are nationwide retailers.
Cartier prides themselves on the best quality diamonds for their jewelry They use both modern and classics styles in the design of engagement and bridal jewelry. For a personal consultation and design ideas set an appoint over the phone.
There is no traditional bridal gift from a mother of the bride at the bridal shower. The mother of the bride could give her daughter: thick bath towels; fancy place mats with cloth napkins to match and napkin holders; fancy wine glasses with perhaps a bottle of white or red wine or both and on and on it goes. Generally as a wedding gift the bride and groom prefer money so they can either save the money or buy something they like with it.
Bridal shower gifts should be both thoughtful and personal. However, they should not be as expensive as wedding presents. Think of what the couple's shared hobbies are and choose appropriately.
I believe it is both families responsibility. Since they are sharing there lives together. The engagement always seems to stem away from the groom and focus on the bride but both families should come together and help them plan it.
Both parent's names should be included on a baby shower invitation if the party is a couple's baby shower (sometimes called a coed baby shower). Otherwise, only include the mom's name. For examples of couple's baby shower invites, see related link below.
