With so many wonderful traditions that hold a great deal of importance to many families it is important to plan a wedding that will celebrate the cultural diversity rather than spotlight one of the cultures while neglecting the other. Planning a bridal shower can become somewhat overwhelming, especially if you have never been involved in planning one before.
Even if you are very close with the couple you may be able to create a very inexpensive gift for their wedding. It's important to choose a gift not because of its traditional connotations but because you know the groomsmen will cherish the gift. The bride may wish to collect pictures of them as a couple from the day they met until now and arrange them artistically in a photo album as a souvenir of their relationship.
Choosing a different fragrance for each member of the wedding party sends the message that you did not buy your gifts in a rush. Wedding gifts and bridal shower gifts are not the same thing. A nice accompaniment to the beach towels could be a bottle of suntan lotion or sun block for that tropical honeymoon.
You want to ensure that the wedding planner that you hire is able to make decisions under pressure and modify the plans on the fly if everything does not go according to plan. It is perfectly acceptable for bridal shower guests to chip in to purchase a larger and more expensive item, such as a washer or dryer or even a television.
