Bridal shower themes vary
Bridal showers just aren't the same any
more. They've become themed events.
Today's bride tends to be older than
brides of a decade ago. She's usually lived
on her own, or may have been. married_once
before, ,so she's already , acgmred many of
the household pods sbe_ll need. to run a
lioriie. � __.
Traditionally, shower gifts have been
small but practical appliances, kitchen
equipment, linens or bathroom needs. If the
bride already has these things, the guests
are faced with a problem. What to get the
bride as a shower gift?
This -is -where-the- themed--shower--Comes
in:It is based on the couple's interests. If
they are travellers, or planning to travel m
the near future, throw a shower on the
travelling theme. Decorate the room with
posters from various countries and serve
ethnic foods and drinks. Gifts might include
items needed for travel.
Almost every couple has a hectic lifestyle
these days, especially if both work. There
are timesaving devices they can both ap-
preciate - wokFookng., utensils and;accom:

the couple could use something more expen-
sive, the shower,guests coilld chip in to buy
the one gift. It's quite common for a group to
get together to buy one large" shower gift
rather than a number of smaller ones.
Two types of showers which can be a lot of
fun _without _breaking the budget are -wine
and recipe showers. -At the former the host
provides a wine -rack and each guest brings
a different bottle of wine to fill it. Guests br-
ing their favorite recipe to the latter shower
and either the ingredients or the container
it's cooked in.
