Jewish Cookbook For Christians

I was at a bridal shower a few weeks ago when something rather strange happened. To properly explain what surprised me, I must brief you on typical bridal shower etiquette. For those who don’t frequent many bridal showers, most are female only events. As I’m at the age where my friends are getting married, I’ve been to around five showers in the past two years and all of them have featured only female friends, co-workers and families. In fact most bridal shower invitations will mention to bring a female companion if you wish to bring someone (some though will not give you that option which means only bring yourself and, of course, a gift).

What made this last bridal shower so interesting was that there were men in attendance. Now, let me just say this didn’t really bother me. I’m sure there are some “purists” who would faint at the idea of a man being in attendance, but to me, eh, maybe I don’t care enough to freak out. While it didn’t bother me, I have to say it did make a difference. Maybe I’m just used to a bridal shower being a female only affair. Certain things occur when it’s only women in the room (mind out of the gutter, boys) and having men at the event changed the whole dynamics of the shower. It felt more like a friend get together then a bridal shower which, honestly, had its pluses and minuses. I did find myself at some point feeling kind of weird that I didn’t have a date there.

This got me to thinking, are there rules that a bridal shower has to be only female? Men don’t really have a shower for the groom, so isn’t it fair that they are involved in the bridal shower? Frankly, I don’t think guys want to be involved in the bridal showers. Sorry ladies, but the men that I saw at the bridal shower looked incredibly uncomfortable. They had a look of “wait, what am I doing here?”. I’m sure they got dragged and once one guy was invited every other female followed.

And why would a guy want to be there, anyways? It’s girly stuff. Not that a man has to be all “football-beer-construction”, but I’m sure there are other things they want to do with their Sunday afternoon. Maybe I’m just old fashioned but leave the bridal showers to the gals. Everyone involved will be happier.

Here are the ways to create an unforgettable bridal shower invitation.

1. Use pop-ups – Hey, it’s not just for kids and pre-teens. Pop-ups make a nice statement and a pleasant surprise. Use an ordinary paper-folded pop-up or a wire pop-up that springs into position when the envelope or invitation is opened. Pick an element taken from your shower theme such as a pair of hearts, a church, wedding bells, flowers or a pair of doves for the pop-up.

2. Ticket to the shower – Why not make give your bridal shower invitation a different flavor by making it look like a concert or theater ticket? Print the title of your invite on one side and include the details (place, time and dress code) on the other side. When guests come in through the door, assign a ‘ticket taker’ to tear a portion of the invitation and let the guests keep the rest.

3. Use natural materials – Go green with your bridal shower invitation and use recycled paper and bio-degradable materials. Use pressed leaves and dried flowers to decorate the invitation. To make a nice-smelling card, use dried fragrant flowers like roses, gardenias and lavender.

4. A sparkling affair – Why not include rhinestones in your bridal shower invitation? Rhinestones shine and sparkle even when used in small quantities. If your invitation has a drawing of a rose in front, glue a rhinestone in the middle or on one of the petals. Rhinestone can also shine inside an illustration of a martini glass or between two hearts.

5. Go handmade – Handmade bridal invitation cards are a smart and beautiful way to send out invites to a special occasion. Since they are handmade, no two invitations are exactly alike. Plus, you can also customize to include your favorite design elements.

6. The scent of things to come – Want to make your bridal shower invitation memorable? Using your favorite cologne or perfume, lightly spray or dab the invitation before sealing it in an envelope. The scent will stay on for several days and will still smell as good even if your guest opened it a few days later.
