A bridal shower is a pre-wedding celebration in honor of the bride that traditionally is an opportunity for guests to give her gifts to help set up her new home.

Who hosts and pays for the bridal shower?

The bridal shower is usually hosted by the bridesmaids, the bride or groom’s mother, or other close female relatives.As with other pre-wedding events, the guest list should be limited to people who are also invited to the wedding.

My Mom kept a detailed list of what things cost:

My Mom’s wedding picture :

The wedding announcement is a short article giving information about you and your new spouse, as well as about the ceremony. Many newspapers will even print announcements for free, though most will charge more for longer announcements or ones with pictures. Generally, newspapers run the announcements on the weekend of your wedding or after it, but you will need to get them the information or announcement well in advance

This is the picture that was placed in the Newspaper as the announcement.

50th Wedding Anniversary Quilt

My Mom’s dress fell apart over the years. For there 50th anniversary I made a quilt top with parts of her dress sewed into it. These are the flower applicated from the wedding dress.

I also made small keepsakes for all nieces and nephew as wedding keepsakes when they got married. Lisa
