I am Matron of Honour for my friend's wedding. I have decided to have a Bridal Shower in the afternoon which leads to pre-dinner drinks and hen's night. Just a tame night though. A restaurant and then maybe a few drinks out but NO all out clubbing or strippers. I have two things that I need help with. I would love for the guests to dress up to give it that little more excitment for the guests but I don't want them to have to go to too much trouble or spend much money. What dressup theme do you think is good? I was thinking just a WIG GIG but it doesn't have anything to do with weddings. Does that matter? Also do I have a special cake for her to cut at the Bridal Shower or no cake? I have no idea.
Maybe you could have a theme set for 'Who can out do the bride with what is already in their wardrobe?' That way everyone can dress up in what they already own and get as pretty as they can. or want. Then there is less risk of poeple dressing better than the bride on the day, because she has already seen the best they can do and if needed she can adjust her accesories to reflect this.
You could have a white theme or have everyone wear flowers in their hair...or maybe everybody can bring a flower that reminds them of the bride and explain why they chose it in front of everyone. It lets everyone get to know each other and how they know the bride. Have fun!
You could just have a colour theme. It's simple and easy for everyone and if you pick a popular colour like pink everyone is bound to have that colour in the wardrobe that they can wear. Then you can also dress the bride up with a 'bride to be' sash, a flashing tiara and a make shift veil made out of fabric from spotlight.
Thanks heaps for those ideas. A colour theme so guests can use things out of their own wardrobe sounds great. Does anyone know if it is the norm to have a cake???
