BRIDAL SHOWER IDEAS

What To Do To Organize Your Friends And Family On Your Wedding Day

When my best friend was getting married, she was rushing around like a crazy thing with lists of people she wanted to invite and jobs which had to be done. There were deadlines for the flowers, the dress, the cake and so on. It was like being in the middle of a whirlwind with her rushing around everywhere.

First she didn’t really who to put on her guest list and was leaving loads of people out. Then she didn’t have a clue what to put on her wedding list. She was going a bit overboard putting every tiny little thing down.

Or you can compose your own lists. It is often a good idea to put things which you would not ordinarily buy for yourself like luxury quilt sets. Don’t forget, especially with soft furnishings, that you will both have to live in your house together, so don’t try to go for anything too pink and fluffy!

I did not know what to get her. We love her dearly and wanted to get them something they would remember us by. So in the end a group of us got together and decided to get them a nice dining room set. Yes, it is an expensive item, but it was one of the first things she put on her original list and we thought they needed one.

It can be very hard to be subtle and try to explain that you love what they have given but that you have no actual space for it. Elderly relatives can be very hard to dissuade. Especially if they think they are doing their best for you. They think in longer terms than the rest of us sometimes. They think that one day you will have a dining room after all and until then, you can just stash it somewhere.

So, it seemed like years later, when the big day finally came. She does not look it, but she is a real traditionalist. She had put all the presents out in a room for people to go and have a look at. It is nice you know, to do little things like that. Makes you really feel like there is a special occasion.

On your special day, you can sit back and relax (almost!) if you have planned well and everything is as it should be. If you have done your job well, you should have the right number of presents of the sort you like, and only one quilt set!
