Spa Riviera ties up with Afriques and Pancake House for bridal shower spa party
A bridal shower is a very important prelude to a woman's wedding day. It is on this day that she and her friends get together to enjoy good, drinks, games and each other's company. Normally, this event is being facilitated by the bride's close friends.
So, to make that bridal shower run smoothly for everyone' fun, here are some pointers.
First, keep the bride-to-be informed. Of course, it's because she has to be there.
Second, make sure that the bridal shower does not conflict with others that are planned. Check with the bride-to-be about the other showers that are being planned and who will be invited to avoid duplication. Third, keep track of expenses, thus it's better to borrow instead of buying. One need not spend a fortune to have a successful shower. Fourth, delegate the tasks and rely on friends when you need it. To relieve stress, a bridal shower is a team effort.
Fifth, take note that guests who are invited to the bridal shower are also wedding guests but not all wedding guests are invited to a bridal shower. Keep the number down to no more than 20 guests. Determine if it's for family and friends, just friends or couples (bride and groom's friends).
Sixth, hold the bridal shower two months before the wedding. Typically, weekend or weekday evenings work best.
And lastly, match the venue to the size of the guest list and the type of activities planned.

SMART TIPS
Refrigerator Smells Rotten?
Give it the sniff test to find out what's at the back of each shelf. Toss outdated or old items. Store leftovers in sealed containers or zip bags. To control odors, pour baking soda into a plastic margarine tub, poke holes into the lid and put it into the fridge. Change every 3 months. Place small dishes of lemon or lime slices on different shelves. Wipe down the walls with white vinegar.
