In addition to contact information, the bridal shower invitations should also include directions, and registry information. (Note: etiquette experts dictate that this is the only appropriate time to announce the bride’s desire for gifts, so feel free to list all the brides registries and gift preferences.) The invitations should also, obviously, include the start time of the shower. Afternoon is preferred, although showers can be held at any time of day. It's a good idea to include an end time on the invitations as well. This will make it easier for the guests to plan their day, and thankfully for you, the host, to make their shuffle out of the shower go a lot smoother. Without a specified end time attendees may become confused and think they're there to laze the day away and reminisce. Two hours is generally sufficient. Short, afternoon showers can also contribute to a simpler menu (you will not have to feed these people a meal if they're only going to be there for the duration of a movie: think light finger food). the day of the party:
tradition, wives’ tales, and the loose ends
that's right ... still MORE this way! ---------------------------> lounge . nourish . host . laze . home .
