Trends: What’s New in Bridal Showers

Playing party planner, but can’t decide where to start? Bridal showers these days are so much more than punch and cookies. Sorry, mom! Today’s showers can be an intimate gathering of those nearest and dearest or an extravagant fête with a lengthy guest list–it just depends on what mood you are looking to create. Whether your friend is the traditional type who loves all things vintage or an unconventional bride who prefers something a little different, there is a party for everyone’s taste–and budget. We found a few great ideas that will help you may help you make her shower a smash:
