Bridal Shower Party Types

Wedding: |
Once you have set your date, you are ready to start thinking about what type of bridal shower you would like to host. The type of party you decide on will help decide the time of day you will want to plan the shower around, as well as your guest list and expected budget. Some party ideas: Breakfast Shower Breakfast showers are fast becoming very popular in today's busy world. Starting as early as 7:30 in the morning and running as late as 10 any weekday or weekend morning, a breakfast shower can be held at a local dining establishment or at the hostesses home. Brunch Brunches are generally held on weekends, mid morning, usually getting started at about 10 or 11 in the morning and running through early afternoon. Chosen for its flexibility your brunch style party can be held indoors or out, sit-down or buffet style, catered in or cooked yourself, and as formal or informal as you like. Luncheon Luncheons are traditionally the more popular party time for many bridal showers. Luncheons are held anywhere from 11 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon any weekend. Booked at local restaurants, banquet facilities, or a home, your luncheon shower is perfect for any size guest list and works well with sit-down, catered in, buffet style or home cooked showers. Perfect for any size guest list - both women only and couples. Afternoon Tea An afternoon tea party is usually set for any time between 2 and 5 in the afternoon. And starting no later than 3:30 in the afternoon. An afternoon tea party is best reserved for all women showers. Great party idea for the hostess with a very limited budget. You can stretch a dollar pretty far with an afternoon tea party. Cocktail Party Cocktails are served between 4 and 7 P.M. for an evening cocktail party. Perfect for the couples showers, a cocktail party is the perfect solution to space and budgetary limitations. A little can go along way with this one. Dinner Party Getting started any time between 5 and 7 in the evening, a dinner party shower works well for a couple or ladies only party. From a small intimate dinner party to a larger couples shower, anything goes with a dinner party. Catered, sit-down, buffet, pot luck... in home, banquet hall, or local restaurant... a dinner party shower is perfect for any guest list. Dessert Party Starting mid-afternoon (2-3 P.M.) or later in the evening (7-8 P.M.), dessert parties are fast becoming popular. Another great shower option for the budget conscience hostess. Everyone loves sweets and there is no better place to indulge than at this tempting affair. Be sure to include a sugar free dish or two for your guests with special dietary needs. |
