What to Do, What to Do? First, decide on your maid of honor. Traditionally the maid of honor plans the bridal shower; but it can be a friend, co-workers, or family member. The Purpose of the Shower:
When Do You Have Your Shower? Traditionally, 4 - 6 before the wedding. What Type of Shower? A traditional shower can be held at someone's home or it can be brunch, lunch, dinner or a tea party. The time of the party depends on the schedules of the bride and her friends. And, if you need help: Who to Invite Family members, friends, relatives and/or work colleagues. What’s Your Theme? Choose a theme before
sending out the invitations. The theme can then be used throughout the
shower with the invitations, decorations, party supplies There are dozens of shower party themes you can play with; including:
The Shower Invitations. A growing trend is that many brides are doing their wedding research on the Internet. which has opened up many ‘cheaper’ avenues and you can now get some beautiful printable-wedding-shower-invitations. These invitations are customized with your own wording and design, and are printed directly from your own printer. And, many are using E-Vite and other online card services. Simply send the invitation over the internet. Note: Remember to send Thank you cards. In Laptop Bride's opinion, a personal note is the only way to make sure that sincere appreciation is expressed. (Don't use the computer... snail mail works better.) Food, Favors and Games Food: Food will totally depend on your theme. If you are having a fitness showers, for example: a finger buffet would work well. If you are holding a garden shower or tea party brunch, consider light finger food - cheeses, crackers, fresh fruit, mini-quiches, scones, muffins, dips, salads, jellos and basically lite fare. Favors: For the shower something small works well. It can be something as simple as tulle filled with Jordan Almonds and tied with a curly ribbon; to a handmade crafts. If you prefer something more like a "gift", give something small and useful like a scented candle or potpourri sachet. Games: Everyone should
experience bridal shower
games. Shower
party games are a great ice-breaker for people to get to know each
other. If you know of any games yourself, use them. Otherwise go
to a party store or online to purchase a bridal shower party game book The

Hooray for Carlson Hotels! A wonderful first! Starting the new
year right and on a positive note. It's nice to see that corporate
America cares . . .
For guests of short stature (under 4 feet 10) or with dwarfism, visiting a hotel can present a myriad of obstacles that the average height hotel guest will never encounter. From approaching the front desk, pushing elevator buttons, latching the lock on the guestroom door, hanging up their clothes or sitting on the bed, it can be a challenge. Thankfully, those of short stature may soon request in-room "assistive kits" at over 500 hotels owned by Carlson Hotels; including the Radisson, Park Plaza and Country Inns Suites brands. The kits include a step stool, reaching tool, a bar to lower the clothes rack and a device to put the latch hook lock within reach! The will become more widely available in mid-2007. And, from the Carlson Site, this was part of their press release: “We first learned about the need for the kits through a relationship that developed with Little People of America, Inc. (LPA), and Direct Access Solutions, the company responsible for providing the kits to the hotels,” noted Carmen Baker, who previously led diversity for Carlson Hotels Worldwide and is now vice president of diversity for Carlson Companies, the parent company of Carlson Hotels Worldwide. “Our perspective on diversity and inclusiveness goes beyond the traditional realms of ethnicity and we want to find ways to provide a welcoming experience for all guests. There are more than 52 million people with disabilities – the largest minority group in the United States. Maria Seiler, the new vice president of diversity for Carlson Hotels Worldwide, will continue to support this initiative.” and it continues .... "Matt Roloff, owner of Direct Access Solutions, said Carlson’s proactive attention to this issue compelled him to nominate the company for an Eagle Award, an honor presented by California-based Disability Rights Advocates to organizations that willingly provide auxiliary access aids to individuals with dwarfism. Roloff also stars in and produces a reality show on The Learning Channel (TLC) that features his family called “Little People, Big World.” The hotel company was featured in a recent episode of the show with footage of Roloff’s visit to Carlson Companies headquarters in Minneapolis to sign the agreement with Carlson Hotels Worldwide which will greatly expand the availability of the accessibility convenience kits at its hotels throughout the Americas."
