This week PartySugar's busy planning a spectacular
Bridal Shower. There's a fantastic
menu and beautifully-made
printable invites. However if you're the one headed to the shower, not planning it, I found this adorable kitchen "cake" for you to bring.

If
bridal showers just aren't your style, consider hosting a couples shower. Coed, or "Jack and Jill" showers — in which the groom invites his male friends and family — are becoming more and more common. Think of a couples shower more like an engagement party.

A
bridal shower is normally a female only event so plan a menu that is light with plenty of vegetarian options. Instead of serving a full meal or
sit down salad at
Elena's bridal shower, we'll offer guests an assortment of delectable crostini. Crostini — which means little toasts in Italian — can be topped with an endless amount of toppings.

Isn't it fabulous how many parties are associated with a
wedding? For my girlfriend Elena, I've already planned an
engagement party and the
reception. This week I'm planning her bridal shower.
