Bridesmaids' Luncheon

Okay so I get a few new books for research and I am going crazy I know, and yes this is another blog today. I love reading and learning and sometimes just remembering what I had forgotten about this Wedding Industry that I love so much.

So I want to talk about the Bridesmaids' Luncheon. This is something that is very traditional and very intimate. It is a time for the bride, her mother, and the bridesmaids to get together for a "Farewell" luncheon or maybe a tea or dinner for the bride, either in addition to a shower or instead of a shower.

This luncheon usually takes place very close to the wedding date, particularly if bridesmaids live in different places and will be arriving only for the wedding celebrations.

It is often the bride and her mother that host this luncheon, but a close friend or family member may also host. Just as a sort of time to relax and enjoy each other in the midst of a busy time- and as a thank-you to the attendants for their presence and support. Others that you may want to include in this luncheon should be limited Mother of Groom and Grandparents. This is not typically a party for anyone other than the bride, her mother and her bridesmaids.

A bridesmaids' luncheon is a little different from any other lunch party. The table may be more elaborately decorated and the linens are often white or the bride's chosen wedding colors. This luncheon is the perfect time for the bride to give her bridesmaids their individual gifts, personally thanking them for being a part of her wedding. For the bride and attendants who work during the day, a more convenient get-together may be after work, at a small cocktail party or intimate dinner. Another great venue could be a day spa, where they all could share a pre wedding pampering.

If you are a bride or just even if you know someone that is getting married, become a follower of this blog and also become a fan of Steven Clay Wedding and Event Designs on facebook.
