Entertainment Showers--The Wave of the Future

© Jessica Cuba

Are Bridal Showers outdated? Brides (and grooms) keep getting older. Chances are better now that they have already lived on their own-maybe even lived together. Recently, I've talked to many couples who are having more trouble getting rid of excess before the wedding than ones who really want that wide slot toaster. If this is the case-what's a caring family to do about a shower?

How about an Entertainment Shower? Theme showers can be great fun: It's easier to choose gifts, you can vary from the four other showers that bride is sure to have and you stand a better chance of that Blockbuster Gift Certificate being used than the crystal gravy boat Martha planned on buying. Newlyweds can use games (visitors tend to increase right after a wedding) and you know they will use a gift certificate to spoil themselves.

Set up your theme in the very beginning on your invitations. Let your guests know this in an entertainment shower and make suggestions for gifts. What kind of suggestions?

Video Rental Gift Certificates

Restaurant Gift Certificates

Weekend Getaways-Hotel or Bed and Breakfast

Theme Park Tickets

Favorite Games

Movies

Music

Roller Skating Tickets

Ski Lift Tickets

Movie Theater Gift Certificates

Concert Tickets

The list is endless! You are guaranteed the happy couple will appreciate these gifts. You could even go way out on a limb and make this one a co-ed shower.

Enjoy!
