3 Themes for That Anticipated Bridal Shower

You and your girlfriends. At a bar. With a stripper. Is that how you imagined your bridal shower to be? It’s a little cliché, don’t you think? It’s always how showers are portrayed in movies, but is that the only choice you’ve got in real life? Thankfully, the answer is no. Here are some ideas for you and the girls to try out on that special night:

1. Manis and pedis. In high school, soirees used to include these routines, but since then have you had time to just sit back and talk to the girls? It’s a good time to reconnect before you head off to the altar and marry the man of your dreams. You could go simple and do each other’s nails, or you could get the services of professionals to help you groom each other.
2. Casino night out. Let the girls have fun and roll high. You can win and meet new friends in a casino. You don’t even have to go to Las Vegas if you are scared. There are plenty of local casinos that can be as equally thrilling.
3. Classy dinner with the friends. You could sit down, sip some wine, enjoy some cheese, and talk about anything and everything under the sun. Of course this is also an excuse to wear that exquisite dress you’ve been stashing at the back of your closet. You and your friends could rent a restaurant or you could just simply walk in and mingle. Whatever floats your boat, it’s time for you to do it.
Bridal showers are not about indiscretion. You can have fun while still keeping yourself presentable. It’s all about spending time together and bonding. Do whatever you and the girls want to do. There’s nothing stopping you.
