It is believed that girls just want to have fun! The bridal shower is just the event to make some of the bride’s wishes come true. My grandmother told me that the idea of giving the bride a gift at the shower is fairly new and that dating from the 1890’s this was not practiced. Before gift giving at the bridal shower became a regular practice it is commonly believed that at one shower a friend of the bride placed small gifts inside a Japanese parasol, and then opened it over the bride’s head so all of the presents would shower over her. This news quickly spread and received overwhelming acceptance. Gifts became commonplace at bridal showers.
Apart from the gifts and food, bridal showers were also meant to reinforce the bonds of friendship between the bride and her friends. It is also designed to provide her with moral support at a time when she really needs it, in preparation for her upcoming marriage. As friends and acquaintances of the bride, who have a better idea of her needs; use this information to provide the essential gift items that will mean a lot to her. One item that always seems to last a lifetime is a wedding picture frame. Nice frames are ideal to display cherished pictures of an unforgettable event. So, go ahead and select the frame. The bride and groom will provide the elegant shot!
People no longer feel the need to behave ‘out of place’ when they are invited to the wedding of a bi -racial couple. Gone are the days when couples from different racial/ ethnic backgrounds allowed individuals who feel strongly about these issues, to influence their world view and ultimately their behaviors.
Every individual deserves to be respected until he/she provides enough reason not to be respected. A wedding is a joyful occasion to which friends and family are invited to come together to celebrate the beginning of a new union. There should be laughter, tears of joy, hugs and exchange of sentiments. Everyone should be prepared to throw caution to the wind as they celebrate the new beginning of life together for the bride and groom. There should be music and dancing and lifting of champagne flutes to offer creative toasts to the special couple.
It is strongly believed that the laughter, fun and celebration should only get better after the “I do’s” are done. The special couple should be encouraged to delve into life with a spirit of celebration and lots of encouragement from friends and family. These special people who can be counted on to be a system of support as they navigate the sometimes winding path called marriage. Cheers to the bi-racial couple!
