When you’re planning a co-ed, or couples wedding shower, you might find that there’s a lot of different names for it. Usually, a bridal shower is the traditional kind, with women only, held in honor of the bride. A wedding shower is when all sexes are included and the party is held in honor of the couple.

Whether your bride is elegant, casual, traditional or colorful - tea party is a perfect theme for her bridal shower. If your bride is traditional, you can plan a classic tea party. Or maybe the bride loves Bridgerton or Downton Abbey - a regency inspired tea party would be perfect for her. Maybe she’s colorful and would go crazy for a Mad Hatter tea party. A Jane Austen fan would love a literary tea party with books as the decor. If she’s elegant, you can plan a garden bridal shower with floral decorations, edible flowers and tea themed favors.

Nothing brings up weird feelings like setting up your wedding registry. Is it really ok to ask for gifts? How is this not rude! It’s really not. In fact, it’s one of the nicest thing you can do for your guests. Most of the people invited to your wedding don’t know your taste, your favorite colors or what you might already have. An easy way to let them know is by setting up a wedding gift registry. When you start your registry, you’re not demanding gifts - you’re just creating a wish list.
