Bridal shower special touches include all the "unnecessary extras" planned for the guest of honor. Though not a requirement, they will add to her memories. Special touches might include one or more of the following:

• Bridal shower speech: This is typically given by the maid of honor, but may be given by anyone close to the bride. A short tribute, remembering happy times shared, or even funny incidents, is appropriate. Before the meal or opening of the gifts, are good times for this, as guests are seated and fairly quiet.

• This Bride to Be jeweled sash can be draped over her chair until she arrives, then worn throughout the party.

Purchase a special box of candy, such as Godiva chocolates, just for the bride. Wrap as an extra surprise. This can be given to her to take home and enjoy.

• Assemble a shadow box using items related to the party. You could also do a honeymoon, friends, or family theme.

• Bouquet of roses:
Every girl loves to receive roses. These can be part of the decorations during the party, or presented to her as she is leaving. Either way, they are hers to keep.

• Bridal Shower Slideshow: create a timeline of the bride, or the bride and groom, through photos.

• Flowers from friends: an alternative to the bouquet of roses listed above, ask each guest to bring one flower. Have a vase near the entrance, so that guests can insert their flowers. Give the colorful bouquet to the bride, to take home.
