Hi Ladies,
So, I'm throwing my cousin her bridal shower and I'm trying to think of different things to do... the theme is pink & brown and I've been pretty creative so far, but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask the wonderful LIW newleyweds what they wished they had at thier showers, or had that they loved. TIA

I knew I could coulnt on you guys!! Thanks I LOVE LOVE LOVE the wine idea, but she doesn't drink wine (figures) I wouldv'e loved that for mine and definitely plan on using that in the future. The panty/lingerie idea wouldv'e been wonderful, but she specifically asked that no underwear or lingerie be at her shower... We are doing the toilet paper bride, bingo, spice game, and I'm going to try and coordinate a scrapbook with the other girls in the party. I was thinking of having a page or two on each table and advising guests to write a message of advice for her and use the pages to put the pictures from her shower. OH, and the shower is in the basement of a church... no alchohol! I might sneak some in though lol

A wishing well. We didn't live together before so we Literally had NOTHING. Band aids, Tylenol, pepto, a thermometer, basic medicine cabinet things. It would have been helpful. Also for little kitchen items like sponges and dish soap. It seems little but when you don't have Toilet paper it becomes an issues! lolol

UGH! Thats rough... They are actually doing a Man's Wishing well for her husband at the shower... I did the basket with all of the household items in it and the poem so that she has some things that she needs. I remember hitting up Wallmart though when we first moved in for bandaids and advil - the little things that I didn't think of stealing from my parents before I left

Just to follow up on the 'Man's wishing well' - they are making one out of an industrialized garbage pail for outside, a rake, and a shovel and filling it with things from Home Depot.
