The bride is always the focal point at weddings family, friends and invited wedding guests cant take their eyes off THE most beautiful person on this special day.

Bridal showers can truly be anything you want them to be from a more traditional, women-only shindig, to a cocktail party or even mini-holiday getaway, brides are finding out that anything goes for this special celebration.
Many brides are taking their show on the road and having destination showers at their favorite travel spots. From the beach, to a wine vineyard or even a camping trip escaping from the stress of wedding planning can be a perfect time to bond with your close friends and family. Destination bridal showers are especially fun because you have a built-in theme for your dcor and bridal favors. A party at the beach lends itself to have super fun elements, such as colorful beach balls, umbrellas, travel sun safety kits and even souvenir gifts such as beach- themed candles and photo frames that commemorate your special day!
Another big trend for 2010 is throwing couple bridal showers, where the groom, his friends and family are also invited to the traditionally female-only bash. While this is definitely a more contemporary way to go, a joint event can be something new and different for couples that enjoy sharing and celebrating their future togetherplus, a double party also means double the gifts! While traditionally a bridal shower focuses on gifts for the bride-to-be, a joint shower would mean guests bring gifts for the happy couple. Couple showers tend to have more of a party theme, and can be a day time brunch or lunch event, or even a fancy dinner at the couples favorite restaurant. Whats fun about joint showers are the bridal favors and decorations at the party can be unisex and something that men and women alike will thoroughly enjoy.
