Bridal Shower 101: Present Perfect

By:   Vanessa Greaves

Now comes the main event: the opening of the gifts.

It's time to ooh and ahh over the swag. A couple of details will help things go smoothly.

  • Position the bride so all can see her as she unwraps her gifts
  • Assign a reliable person to record who gave what
  • Provide the means for transporting the gifts home: shopping bags or big baskets will do. If the married couple is moving away, consider gift certificates instead of heavy, bulky items


Happy Endings

Sachets, scented candles, spa products, potted herbs, jars of homemade cookie mix--these can be delightful mementos of the bridal shower.

For do-it-yourself party favors, set out bowls of candies and let guests fill small take-out cartons as they leave. Design a clever logo to print on self-adhesive labels for the cartons, or use a stamp from a craft store.
