2013 Bridal Shower

Original post by Eunified

UPDATE: VOTING IS DONE. Thanks ladies!

Hey Ladies!

Back in January, we began to figure out how we would plan the bridal shower.
Kat & I are heading the committee and we have a few brides who already volunteered to help.
We're trying to figure out the best date for all of the brides!
Please vote above on which weekend works best for you.
Also, if you have a restaurant recommendation, post one below.

Here is some info on how the actual bridal shower works (taken from Mara017, the bride who organized the 2012 shower): 'In the past we have all been given secret brides and you are given information about their registry and you buy something it. There would be a limit of something like $25. The 2011 girls made a cookbook so if we like that idea I would have someone on the committee to organize that. In the past, they have gotten donations from vendors (gift Certificates, items, etc) and did a raffle. You can have everyone get a certain amount of tickets for coming and if you want you can purchase more and the money would be given to a charity.

We'll have a poll in the upcoming week regarding location and also I'll be posting a letter for anyone to send to vendors who may want to donate.

Re: 2013 Bridal Shower

Thats a really cool idea!

Re: 2013 Bridal Shower

This is such a great idea! I Love it! I would love to help out so please let me know what I can do!

Any of those dates work for me.

Idea: Those who will not have a registry yet by the shower (including myself), can create a small one for items not over $25 & then you can always add to it. The registry is good until your wedding date anyway
getting a gift card is good but it's better to get an actual present to unwrap!

Crashing...if you arent registered, you can receive a BBB gift card.


This is a great idea!

A Sat would be ideal for me but I can def do either of the Nov dates (voted for the 11th though). Kinda have too much going on in Oct already.. epix, bpix, halloween parties, and FH and I anniversary!

I think getting a BB&B gcard for those who won't have a registry yet (like myself) is an awesome idea!

Re: 2013 Bridal Shower

2013 Bridal Shower

Oct 28th and Nov 11 do not work for me. I voted for Nov 18th.

Many people do not realize that Nov 11 is Veterans Day...I attend ceremonies on this day so it is the only day I can't make

I recommend Shandon Court and the Irish Coffee Pub as places. Both places have a couple of private rooms and the food is good

I dont like that some people will miss it based on the date, it makes me sad! I love the BBB gift card! I think it is a great idea, this way you can use toward stuff you do nto get off your registry at the end!

It's a bridal shower planned by 2013 brides for 2013 brides. We rent a location, each person gives a certain amount of $$$. We eat, drink, exchange gifts, & win prizes!

2013 Bridal Shower

Hey Eunice..

I had mentioned a few months ago when we were talking about this, I have a venue we can use in Sayville that I am pretty sure will be FREE, its a veterans hall type of place, has a full kitchen downstairs in it, comes with tables and chairs, we would just need to decorate and whatever. We could have full use of it for the entire day..just need to plan ahead...Let me know if you want to do this option...its on main street in sayville :)
