Here are some tips :
When participating in these celebrations, it is important to be mindful that :
- Choose a date prior to the wedding.
- Decide on whether it should be a surprise for the bride or otherwise.
- Set a budget and determine who pays for what.
- Make a guest list. Do ensure that those on the list are also to be invited to the wedding to avoid any awkwardness later.
- Select a location. Some possible venues could be a home of one of the bridesmaids, a spa, a nice, quiet restaurant, a hotel suite etc.
- Give invitees advanced notice to keep the day free.
- Plan the event around a theme but keep it simple.
- Keep track of gifts and the givers during the shower.
When participating in these celebrations, it is important to be mindful that :
- Such parties should be fun, lighthearted but not crass.
- As a lead up to such a milestone as marriage, these parties are a rite of passage as well and should therefore be meaningful.
- Embarrassing the bride or groom should be frowned upon.
- Do not hold hen or stag nights on the eve of the wedding – everyone including the bride and groom will never recover in time
