bridal shower...

my brother is getting married in sept and his fiance's bridal shower is coming up next month. i want to do something special for it.

i was at a bridal shower this weekend and the mother of the bride made up baskets for each holiday filled with things for that holiday. i thought it was adorbale but i didnt get chance to see what was in the baskets. I was thinking of making one for each season for my fsil and wanted to get some ideas of what i should put in them. any ideas ladies?!?!

Re: bridal shower...

i love doing the candle basket where each colored candle represents a milestone in a marriage...i have the poem somewhere...lets see if i can find it!

here it is:
A basket of candles that come in a pair
In all different colors, for you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place.
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner.
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night.
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day.
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby.
And just when you thought you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left - for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
Congratulations [insert Bride and Groom's names]
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
