What to take? Look no further, our definitive list will give you all the ideas you need. To make a bridal shower party go with a swing, there will be some games ? but not necessarily the same type of games as you will be expecting at the hen night, which will be a little more up-beat. Below, we share our ideas for getting in the mood. Bridal showers used to be an all-female gathering, but modern women are beginning to share the moment with the groom and members of his family. We?ve got nothing to hide, girls! You may like to set a theme for your shower ? kitchen items, cookbooks, linen or lingerie, for example. which her friends can consult and share out among them to avoid disappointing duplications. Here are a 20 hot tips for those essential items: One of my personal favourites is a time capsule ? a sealed tin with stationery, stickers for the photo album and a profile of the bride and groom. The couple will love re-opening this on a special anniversary! If you wish to give cash, make it fun with a money-maze. The couple will enjoy this form of banking ? easy to make deposits, not so easy to withdraw!For a personalised memento, there are many different items which can be embossed or engraved, from plates and plaques to glassware, candles or a silver certificate box. A photo frame or cube is always welcome. Personalise it with that special photo or an engraving. For the happy couple there are many cute paired items, from loving cups to pillows to baseball hats. Slippers for the bathroom, aprons for the kitchen. Choose your scenario for the lovebirds. A customized licence plate is a must ? just make sure there is only one ? maximum two ? going to be presented! If you know the lady loves scrapbooking, there are some crazy accessories to help her get a professional job done for this most important day. Whether you choose a special sewing machine or some snazzy software, she?ll still be thanking you for years to come. Maybe a group of best girlfriends won?t exactly be breaking any ice ? but here are some fun ideas to get the shower off to a swinging start: Who am I? This always gets the imagination going and guarantees a few opening laughs. If any of the guests don?t know each other, this is a great kick-off. First, you need to come up with a list of celebrities or historical figures that everyone is likely to be able to identify, enough for each guest and a few left over. Write one name each on a set of post-its. As the guests come in, slap a post-it on their backs. Their task is to find out who they are by asking the other guests closed questions about themselves. You may like to award a silly prize to the first to guess her own name, or limit the number of questions to 20. One last tip: make sure you keep those corks popping and the bubbly flowing to make your shower party fizz!
