Which means you might be planning a fall-season bridal shower.<br /><br />What's the big, new trend in fall season bridal showers? It's <em>not</em> decorating with pumpkins and gourds! Actually, it's skipping the at-home party and going with everyone <em>to</em> a fabulous family farm where you can pick your own apples or pumpkins, drink hot apple cider, climb trees to get that perfect Golden Delicious apple, take a hayride, maybe even ride horses depending on how cool your local farm is.<br /><br />This is such a hot trend that city-bound bridal parties are taking everyone on the train to get to farm country!<br /><br />You'll have a blast in this great weather, load everyone up with fresh apple pies to take home, stop somewhere for a great lunch, and avoid all of those cliche bridal shower games!<br /><br />Can't find a farm? Than how about a farm <em>team?</em> It's playoff season for minor-league baseball teams, and the tickets are insanely inexpensive -- especially if you have a big group, with the guys invited along. At my local ballpark [Go Patriots!], you can rent a VIP skybox, have your party catered, and have the bride and groom announced onto the field to participate in various races and games. The mascot will usually pop into the party, too.<br /><br />If you ask me, fall is a great time for bridal showers!!Sharon Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07170290281492663879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225387747103267646.post-85223665570015309612009-03-12T06:07:00.000-07:002009-03-12T06:13:44.012-07:00Disney M&Ms for the bridal shower!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjDJizW_AqyOjyaReleMgenQARQakIMhqlbPAvKpHy3E1LGV-3tK208tSKyD0hsoy3LqJ8vMOdcGuYueANdtDjiUJqX-L4CiesGK4TT4Rzhpj8H7qWepc2zvx7FhsI4cCoG3dUu3nlVGFt/s1600-h/DISNEY_PW_lentils.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312288408827912258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjDJizW_AqyOjyaReleMgenQARQakIMhqlbPAvKpHy3E1LGV-3tK208tSKyD0hsoy3LqJ8vMOdcGuYueANdtDjiUJqX-L4CiesGK4TT4Rzhpj8H7qWepc2zvx7FhsI4cCoG3dUu3nlVGFt/s400/DISNEY_PW_lentils.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExvVb_1rmK6mQHj8Voo9HcYn6_G0lmr9SeEOQp2Oaw3Y3ga2szXY37S4FpAwjiEhJwRG1MMzCpeJa0N5mjuaFy3fSoYFMJIQRiEh-2oWqJF5qQE5rj1I6JG1WoEfhejs40hqK43lNUbed/s1600-h/DISNEY_PE_lentils.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312288201004643154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 108px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiExvVb_1rmK6mQHj8Voo9HcYn6_G0lmr9SeEOQp2Oaw3Y3ga2szXY37S4FpAwjiEhJwRG1MMzCpeJa0N5mjuaFy3fSoYFMJIQRiEh-2oWqJF5qQE5rj1I6JG1WoEfhejs40hqK43lNUbed/s400/DISNEY_PE_lentils.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Since the big trend in weddings right now is a 'return to childhood favorites,' we're seeing a big upswing in Disney-themed bridal showers.

Now, you can design stylish, personalized invitations with a dash of innovation and a match to the guest of honor’s style. Here are the top design tips and trends to inspire you:<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">A fabulous fold</span>: Choose from a flat or folded card, tri-fold (two panels open up like French doors to reveal your message inside), scroll, four-page booklet or even an accordion or origami-type fold. A truly unique invitation starts with the very first impression.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Shape up: </span>In addition to traditional rectangle-shaped cards, you can now incorporate the big trend in unique card shape: square, circular, oval, or triangular invitations. It’s easy to form these shapes without hassle – simply print out your invitations on regular card stock and then cut using regular or wavy-edged scissors, or die cuts punches from the scrapbook store.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Color match: </span><span style="color:#000000;">You c</span>an use the bride’s color palette (such as pink and apple green or chocolate and red) for the shower, or you can move into a different hue to match the theme, style or location of the party you’re planning. For instance, a garden-themed party might inspire a bright yellow card with a cantaloupe orange Gerbera daisy and bright orange print. Your party is an individual, so you don’t need to limit yourselves to the bride’s favorite colors, or go with bridal whites and blush pinks. Brights are all the rage, so consider an eye-catching hue to announce that this party is going to be fun.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Swirls and slants: </span>Choose a fabulous font that conveys the style and formality of your party. The type of print you use conveys a message to the guests – a formal italic might be ideal for a tea party, while a more city-chic font might convey the indulgent tone of your spa pampering themed-party.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Talk in your voice: </span>You’re not bound to traditional invitation wording etiquette, as is expected for formal wedding invitations, so use your own conversational style, an excited tone, even humor. For instance, instead of “You’re invited to a bridal shower for…” you might ‘speak’ to the guests in the tone of “Little black dress….check. Martinis….check. A view of the city skyline…check. We’re all set for Julie’s bridal shower, and we’d love for you to join us!” The wording you use shares an image, plus incorporates the bride’s personal style and tastes into your invitation. Wording can also share dress code, which guests will need to know. “We’ll all be in comfy spa wear and flip-flops for the spa party” tells the guest that a dress, heels and stockings would be out of place.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Use a great graphic:</span> Check out the fun, shower-perfect graphics included in Mountaincow’s <a href="http://www.mountaincow.com/shop.SW.PP.html">PrintingPress</a> software. The most popular images include lipstick, high heeled shoe, martini glass, tulips, music note, and champagne glasses.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">For co-ed showers:</span> Since the big trend right now is hosting a shower including both sexes, design the invitation with him in mind as well. Some popular color schemes for this type of party: chocolate brown with tan and red accents, black and white with red or iced blue accents, deep jewel tones like cranberry, hunter green, sapphire blue, or deep purple, or a stylish and cosmopolitan steel gray with silver and teal or red print.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Design stylish inserts:</span> Shower invitations often include registry information or directions on separate cards. (See Mountaincow’s <a href="http://www.mountaincow.com/shop.stationery.scalloped.html">scalloped-edge notecards</a> as the perfect color-coordinated choice.) Include additional inserts for guests’ favorite recipes, best marriage advice or input for any shower games planned.<br />Share FYIs about the registryIf the couple has signed on to a registry that donates a percentage of purchases to their favorite charity, include that information! You can choose a theme for the gifts if you know the bride and groom particularly want items for their honeymoon or newly renovated kitchen. Guests will be more likely to shop from the couple’s choices.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Include the RSVP:</span> Again, you’re not bound by traditional wedding invitation rules that say a response card is needed, but you can design a response card or postcard as an alternative to printing your name and phone number or e-mail on the card itself. Add an “RSVP by” date if you have special catering or space concerns.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Tie one on:</span> Just as with the new trends in wedding invitations, shower invitations can also be tied with a ribbon or a ‘belt’ made of a fabric length attached by a buckle, charm, or beaded accent. Fashion-forward shower planners use faux fur or city-chic fabric ties, rhinestone fasteners, gemstones, even a single chandelier earring bought inexpensively at a craft fair (or a pair of earrings as a surprise pre-favor before the shower even happens). Dress up your invitation with something unexpected, but bear in mind that anything raised or bulky will require extra postage when mailing.<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">The outer wrapping:</span> A colorful envelope stands out from a pile of bills and junk mail, so make the envelope something special as well, using a fantastic color that shows your return address done in a kicky, colorful font, and even a fun graphic or words printed on the bottom or back of the envelope. Match a design element from the invitation to this envelope so that the ensemble looks professionally-made.<br /><a href="http://www.mountaincow.com/subscribe.html"></a>Sharon Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07170290281492663879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225387747103267646.post-76062961841505776122008-11-13T10:07:00.001-08:002008-11-13T10:10:52.713-08:00Your Gift Solution: Giving a Group Gift!With all the money you're spending on your dress, shoes, travel, lodging, the bridal shower and hair and makeup, the idea of getting a terrific gift for the bride's shower or for the couple's wedding gift is probably making you shake right now.

Sharon Naylor here -- I'm the author of over 35 wedding books, and a few of those are books specifically for <em>you</em>, the excited bridesmaid-to-be looking forward to being the <strong><em>World's Best Bridesmaid</em></strong>.</div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>If you've been a bridesmaid before, you know the drill. You've been through the process of buying a dress that you might or might not love. You've hosted a bridal shower. You've walked down the aisle escorted by a mouth-breathing, moron groomsman. Great news for you! I have all-new information on being a bridesmaid...new resources, new ways to save you money, new inspiration for bridal showers, new details on planning from a distance. Details on organic wedding supplies and dresses, socially-responsible party planning and products, the best new jewelry, and...yes, <em>shoes</em>.</div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>If you're a newbie, you'll get all the same information, plus the basics on what you need to do to be a fabulous bridesmaid. And diplomacy advice for dealing with Mean Girl bridesmaids in your circle, bossy brides, and others.</div><div></div><div>In the coming days, weeks and months, you'll get the chance to WIN free copies of my books -- either for you or as gifts for the bride and groom -- and you'll also get the chance to win fun things from many of my contacts in the wedding and beauty industries.</div><div></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Visit my website <a href="http://www.sharonnaylor.net/">http://www.sharonnaylor.net/</a> to see more about my books, and write me directly with any questions you might have. I'll post the best questions (using your first name only, or a fake name if you prefer) here.</div><div></div><div>You're here on Day 1...come on over to my site to meet me, and then get ready to get all the inside answers and secrets that <em>other</em> bridesmaids just don't have. </div>Sharon Naylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07170290281492663879noreply@blogger.com0
