Keep the look to your
bridal shower chic and elegant with springtime colors and white accents. Instead of covering the table with a cloth, place a pretty runner down the middle. Set clear vases filled with bunches of tulips on top of the runner.

Since most
bridal showers are afternoon affairs, a heavy cocktail menu is not necessary. At
Elena's bridal shower we'll set up a fruit spritzer buffet. Guests can have their choice of fruit purees and either mix them with sparkling water, club soda, or sparkling wine.

When I picture a
bridal shower, a dainty miniature dessert comes to mind. A bite sized dessert is perfect for a shower where an all female crowd will not want to consume anything too heavy or rich.
These luscious looking, little lemon meringue pies are tiny and delectable.

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.
