Helpful Hints For Planning a Bridal Shower

You confess you've always loved browsing through Victoria's Secret lingerie to give a little something sexy to the latest bride to be. Now you're the one planning the party, whether you're the bride, the maid of honor, or the posse of bridesmaids, invitations are the best place to start.

First of all, decide whether you are throwing a traditional family bridal shower, a bachelorette party, or both. Many brides opt to have a tamer shower with the family, including her fiancé's mother, and then have a more intimate evening out with her closest friends. You could plan the shower and follow it by a night on the town, or you could have the two events on separate dates. If you're the maid of honor or the bridesmaids, make sure to discuss these options with the bride to see what she prefers. Spending hours with family may tire her out, and she won't be ready to dance all night at the local salsa club after the shower.

Once you decide on the type of party you're throwing and the estimated number of guests, choose a location. Is this going to be a lavish affair with a catered brunch for 200, or a casual get together for twelve in your living room? If you are not the bride, but throwing it for her, be sure to keep her preferences in mind. You may be an extrovert who would invite the entire town to a lunch at the local bistro, but the bride may prefer something else. Try to plan the shower around the bride's personality and preferences.

After the location is pinpointed, check to see whether the bride has registered for gifts and where. This is vital information for your bridal shower invitations. Not many people like to give random vases and crockery nowadays, and it's important to let guests know where the bride has registered her wish lists.

Now that you've decided the date, the place, the time, and gotten information about the bride's registry, you're ready to choose your invitations. Bridal showers are generally a ladies only affair, although the recent trend of Jack n' Jill showers is catching on. If you're going the traditional route, choose fun and fancy bridal shower invitations like a card shaped as a die-cut gown or a mini handbag. Make scrapbook style invitations for the artsy bride, or choose a graceful bride in a wedding dress for a fancier party. Including a photo of the couple would add a personal touch, or tie on a bow to add some texture.

All in all, the bridal shower invitations set the theme for the party. For Jack n' Jill showers, choose a design that's a little more gender neutral so the guys don't feel intimidated. If the invitation screams, "Girl party!" then you can guarantee the guys will stay home. Make sure to order and send your bridal shower invitations out early so that guests can save the date.

Make You to be A Beauty Bride (1)

Bridal experts explain how to plan ahead to ensure your day is picture perfect -- no matter what!


You were certain you planned for everything -- from the flowers on the tables, to the songs the band would play -- and everything in between.

But experts say if you haven't planned ahead for your bridal beauty and grooming routines you could end up with some wedding-day blues.

"In an effort to look and feel their best I've seen brides try to do too much a day or two before the wedding and not enough in the two to three weeks prior. And the end result can be a litany of problems that really could have been easily avoided," says Liz Seccuro, creative director of Dolce Parties, a wedding and event planning company in Greenwich, Conn., and New York City.

Planning Ahead

Securro says overloading on beauty and grooming routines just days before you say "I do" can not only leave you looking and feeling less than perfect, it can also increase your stress on the very day you want to look poised and serene.

The answer, say experts, is to plan ahead -- setting a schedule that anticipates some of your most important health and beauty needs. While ideally, experts say you should begin three to four months before your wedding, even 30 days is adequate for the most important self-care rituals.

To help you know what to do and when, WebMD asked several experts to help us prepare the following guide.

Beautiful Bridal Skin

Perhaps nothing is more beautiful than the natural glow of happiness that becomes every bride. But to help that glow along, experts at Bridal Guidemagazine say schedule a series of monthly facials beginning as early as six months before your wedding. To help ensure your skin looks picture perfect on your wedding day they advise your last facial to be no later than two weeks before the big day.

And while a professional facial is a fabulous way to pamper yourself, Seccuro suggests brides to do their homework before choosing a facialist.

"There is a misnomer that says if your face looks red and your skin looks bad when you finish a facial it means it worked -- but that's not true," says Seccuro.

To be sure your skin will look better -- and not worse -- Seccuro advises making your appointment in person and look at those leaving the salon.

"If their skin isn't glowing and they don't look great -- look elsewhere for your facial," she says.

How much should I expect to pay for a custom wedding dress and five bridesmaid dresses in the UK?

How plain are you planning on having your BM dresses? Because 5 plain ish custom made dresses could cost you about £100 each! Why not have a look around and see if you can find some ready made cheaper ones? How about Monsoon? They have a bridal section and their dresses are gorgeous!! If you are spending that amount, you might as well spend it there

A highly beaded custom made dress will cost a LOT!! Possibly 4-500 pounds!! It all depends on where you are going to be honest, becuase everywhere will charge different amounts.

Bear in mind the credit crunch, though! Going for a custom made dress could cost MORE these days because prices are soaring!
