So while watching the bachelor this weekend, I decided I wanted to check out AndrewsFirestone’s Blog…
Its interesting but nothing too WOW! www.andrewfirestone.com (His blog has not been updated in ages, guess he grew out of it?)
So I read this Blog Entry and thought it was worth posting
The Wedding Shower - Rediscovered!
Is it just me or have wedding registries taken all the fun out of buying a gift for a wedding? You go to a store, whether in-person or online, and you buy exactly what the bride and groom have requested. The problem is that there is no creativity in this gesture, no individuality, no personal touch!
Today’s wedding showers have become much more interesting and functional than their more traditional predecessors. The format of yesterday, a ladies-only gathering with an endless supply of lace doilies and cucumber sandwiches, pales in comparison to what the shower can and should be for today’s couples! Consider for a moment….a “Build Your Cellar Party!” I held a wedding shower for one of my best friends Nate, and called it a “Cellar Building Party.” In lieu of a gift, each person brought a bottle of their favorite wine, along with a note detailing suggestions for enjoyment. The contributions ranged from a bottle of Dom Perignon
By the end of the party, Nate and Stacy had 75 bottles of wine, which represented 75 unique memories! At the very least, they had enough wine to get them through that potentially challenging post-honeymoon phase! And that, my friends, is my kind of party!
I invite you to share your stories. How has the celebration of wine factored into your wedding plans? I'm looking forward to reading all of your comments.
Cheers!
