with whatever would be more suitable.
Many wedding showers involve games, but before you decide on whether to make some games part of your activities, the shower tips here would be to take into account the personalities of your invited guests. Are they the type to join in and enjoy playing some games or not? You are not out to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

By using a theme you are actually helping your guests with their gift giving. Obviously they can then purchase a suitable theme based gift that is small and inexpensive. Bear in mind that some of the guests may also be purchasing a larger wedding gift as well, no one wants to feel obliged to spend a lot of money of gifts. Small and useful here would be appropriate.
Wedding shower tips that you do
not want to forget are the dessert, most showers will either use a
bridal shower cake or have a fancy dessert. If you love to bake and have
