Hi Moms,
My girlfriend is getting married next week. We just found out it was a big surprise for all of us. I want to throw her a little bridal shower party here at work on ladies are going to be invited. What I need is idea what can we due, buy, ect. I'll I know is girls get together and party and have a stripper over. But that cant happend here at the bank. Please send me some fun ideas on what can I do to make it special for her and her fiance thanks.
Hi Ladies,
Thank you for all your opinions on my post. I want to let everyone know that yes its a companies event me and a bunch of friends are going to donate $10.00 each, there's like 15 of us. To make her this party I am not going to pay for the party on my own, and yes time's are hard for allot of people right now this is why she is not having a big wedding.
Hi E..
I have to agree with MR. If times are really tough for you right now, why are you throwing a shower? Good luck.
I'm a little shocked at the other two posts. It is very sweet of you to want to throw your friend a shower despite your financial troubles. Reply's to your post should bring on no opinion on your financial situation if that's not what you were asking. This is a special time in her life & what a great friend you are to want to celebrate that. That being said...
There are many ways to do an inexpensive shower. Use evite.com for invitations. Ask the girls at work to each make a small appetizer & go in on a gift which can be as little as $5.00 each. It's the thought that counts. As far as cute ideas, you can all type out your favorite recipes and bind it in a book (in can be cheap, be creative!) or buy a little notebook at the dollar store. You can also search the internet for fun bridal shower games.
Good luck!
with one week's notice... i would get the girls together, take her out to lunch (everybody but her splits the tab) and also go in on a gift for her - sounds like she was getting married in a hurry and maybe doesn't have a registry. Gift cards are always good, unless you feel that is impersonal. Or, Mikasa has a great outlet store - you could get a few really nice things with not a lot of money.
One thing I remember most from my shower was the wisdom game. Everybody shared their marital wisdom and advice on a piece of paper and then they were anonymously collected in a basket and i read them out loud.
When we have bridal showers at work, we pretty much get together and order a pizza or something, collect for a group gift and anyone that wants can buy a separate gift. Since they usually take place at lunch, we jsut get together and talk about the upcoming event-or marriage if it already took place--and just hang out. Decorations are hung and cake but it is much more laid back than a shower you would have at home.

We will only set out the lotions and oils the other Items stays in there sak until someone ask to see them everything is set up very discreet.The Bride gets the credit which is 10% of the party total and she can win a Cruise.

I am not trying to be rude or judgmental, but if I recall a lot of your posts are about how you are having a hard time making ends meet. Clearly your girlfriend should understand this, so there should be no obligation on your part to go all out and blow a bunch of money. The 'special' part about it is recognizing her and her upcoming nuptials and spending time with friends, not how much money is spent or how extravagant you can get. Why not have a pot-luck lunch where everyone brings a dish to pass and cake for her and play fun bridal shower type games? Have everyone chip in money to buy a gift for her from her registry (ask for a 'donation' of 'what you feel comfortable giving'). If this were my shower, I'd totally be excited about that!
