Another reason to wear WHITE! Or a reason to be bold in your favorite colors. I'm an absolute fan of Bridal showers because they allow the older female members of a brides family (or family to be) to celebrate or help prepare her for her BIG day. The bridal shower is a time to get all dolled up "Breakfast at Tiffany's" style and receive your something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
Many brides over recent years have come away from this tradition and opt only for a Bachelorette party. But let me give you some amazing planning ideas and tips if you are thinking about having one.
Where? When? And who?
Now is the time to pic your favorite restaurant, or have a backyard tea. If you have a venue you dreamed of having your wedding at but couldn't, due to the size of your guest; now is the time to book! This bridal shower doesn't have to be at a particular time of year or day. Just select a time that allows you to spend with those in your family that may be too young to go to Vegas or too mature to see those spicy unmentionables ;)
Theme? Atmosphere?
Mimosa Soriee' or British Tea Time anyone? Let this occasion be the time when your mother allows you to borrow her pearls or your great grandmother pins you with her husbands "going out" pin. You can go all french-roll or have a small gathering at a family friends beach house.

2.) Small portions at a time (but do eat up we all love food)
3.) And most important a Formal place setting:
