Showers & Rehearsal Dinners
W hile it’s important to throw a shower and rehearsal dinner that meets your personal
standards, it’s also crucial to keep your guests in mind. Regardless of what you settle on, the
end goal is to find a balance between your style of celebration and theirs. This applies to
decorations, party activities, event setting, and the general atmosphere. You want to create
an atmosphere of mutual support and abundance, which will make you and your guests
comfortable and in high spirits. After all, a pleasant shower and rehearsal dinner prepares
you, your wedding party, and your guests for a truly magical event.
Mainly, you should keep communication open prior to the
events, so that everyone can express themselves regarding
activities and offer creative input. You should also
keep in mind that some people may require special
seating or food accommodations, which should
have priority. Remember, though, that these
are your events - to celebrate you and your
significant other. When it comes to smaller or
more extravagant details, go with what you
want and what feels right to you. As long as it’s
comfortable and authentically “you”, both you
and your guests will be pleased.
