Couples Showers

Couples showers are, as the name implies, parties hosted for the couple. They are also known as "Coed or Jack and Jill" showers. Many couples like the idea of a "together" party. Men are becoming more involved with all aspects of the wedding plans, so this type of event is becoming more popular.

This is often an informal or casual affair. Guests and friends of both partners are invited. You may also want to involve the groomsmen in suggestions, ideas, or jobs to help the day of the event.

• You may want to use a party checklist to simplify your plans.

Your location could be a favorite place of the future bride and groom, a restaurant, hall, or someone's home. Have a limousine escort them to the party, as an extra special touch.

Choose a date and time that is convenient for all. In some cases, evenings work out better. Weekends are still popular.

Before sending invitations, ask the pair (or someone close to them) to compile a list. Let guests know the type of shower. You can have either one person in charge of RSVP's, or have the bride's side respond to one person, and the grooms side to another.

• Parties with a theme are a fun way to entertain. Think about this pair's interests: sports, music, gardening, travel, etc.

Choose decorations to go along with your theme. Think fun and simple. Remember to have some disposable cameras on hand for those candid shots.

Shower food: A buffet is often a great coed bridal shower idea. Select the types of food that appeals to the pair, and serve a variety.

• Include a favorite punch recipe in your party plans.

Couples Gift Suggestions:
• Gifts that have been monogrammed or engraved show a personal touch. These are sure to be appreciated.
• A romantic gift basket is also a thoughtful idea.
• Is there a rock concert, play or sporting event they have been hoping to go to? Tickets are a great idea.
• Gift certificate suggestions...

• A Name Change Kit, if needed, is a good idea.

Favors are a nice remembrance. Selecting one that goes along with your theme, will help make your decision easier.

*** Enjoy planning for this special couple, and everything will go smoothly.
