Engagement Party: The very first possibility of many celebrations to choose from is the engagement party. This is your chance to officially celebrate your upcoming nuptials! This is a night to have fun so great food and snazzy cocktails are on the menu. This can be hosted at your house or a venue depending on your budget, it’s one of your first of many choices when it comes to wedding planning so have fun with it!
Bridal Shower: Another way to celebrate your big day before the actual event is to host a bridal shower. Typically the maid of honor, mother of the bride or mother of the groom will organize this event. The shower includes appetizers or lunch, games with prizes, and a sweet treat. You may just come home from this party with those wine glasses from Crate & Barrel you loved on your registry. Some fun themes include a tea party, Meant to “Bee,” Brunch & Bubble, Nacho Average Bride or Final Fiesta.
Bachelorette Party: Of course, there are the infamous bachelor and bachelorette parties. However, it doesn’t have to be a wild TikTok in Nashville if you don’t want it to be. It could be as simple as going for a nice spa weekend getaway, going wine tasting in Temecula, or a camp themed weekend at a cabin with your gals. But if you want to get rowdy, then go for it! It’s your time to party it up with your girls however you choose to!
Bridal Luncheon: Most women know that when you are asked to be in someone’s bridal party, it’s an honor, but it’s not a cheap one. Hosting a bridal luncheon for your Bridesmaids is a nice way to say thank you for helping me celebrate! It won’t break the bank at about $20 per plate. This event is ladies only and is typically held sometime in the last couple of weeks before the wedding. When booking it, make sure to allow a couple of hours. This quality time with your girls is a treat to be cherished!
Rehearsal Dinner: The night before the big day is just as important as the actual event. The rehearsal can prove to be useful for calming nerves. Your rehearsal dinner is a time for your guests to get to know one another and to become more comfortable in their new surroundings. That way, on the big day, you do not have to worry about people being by themselves because they will have made new friends the night before. Traditionally the groom’s family will host this event and it can be as casual or fancy as you want it to be.
The Wedding is the culmination of all of these events so make sure throughout the day to take a step back and enjoy your loved one and the beginning of your new life together!
