decorating for wedding receptions - these are the fundamentals you should know

If you are planning a bridal shower on a budget, of you if simply want to create a more personalized feel for your celebration, you might want to consider creating your own homemade bridal shower favors. Large venues such as catering halls make an elegant wedding location but for a more intimate gathering you might want to consider hosting your wedding either at your own home or the home of a close friend or relative.

Deciding who will throw the bridal shower for the bride is the first thing to consider. It is also important to discuss budget constraints prior to purchasing gifts for each other. A great gift for your groomsmen is a few of their favorite CD's, it is a wonderful gift idea because it is sure to be used often by the recipient and your groomsmen will remember your wedding day each time they listen to one of their CDs.

When you do meet with the people at the benue get a detailed estimate and discuss what is included in the estimate that they have provided. If you or someone you know lives in an apartment complex, you might also want to look into having the bridal shower on the roof of the apartment. Instead of putting together a book, why not all each guest to write out their advice on a piece of parchment paper and then affix it to a bottle of wine.

One final shower theme idea is a gift certificate shower. Gifts that demonstrate a love and understanding of the recipient are particularly popular.
