Make it really glam. Black and White with maybe a touch of color. Black and white photos of future&nbsp;bride and groom dressed up. Ostrich feather centerpieces...Frank Sinatra and Humphrey Bogart playing in the background...</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/need-some-ideas-for-a-swanky-engagement-party#post-493690 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:58:14 +0000 dereksbride2b 493690@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi girl,</p> <p>I have been nominated to help the host that is throwing our friends engagement party.&nbsp; Basically she is super busy running her own company wants to throw them a blow out engagement party. I am going to try my hand at planning weddings but I thought helping her with this (basically me doing it myself) will help with experience and pics for my portfolio and website.</p> <p>The budget is going to allow me to host a nice engagement party.&nbsp; I am just trying to think of some ideas to throw around and see if she likes any of them.</p> <p>I kind of want to do something swanky but not go over the top.&nbsp;</p> <p>Did anyone have a really cool engagement party?</p> <p>Also there will be about 60-70 people there.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/honey-do-shower-question#post-490461 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:47:23 +0000 His Barista 490461@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I would invite her, and kind of have a friend spread by word of mouth "no gift please".</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/honey-do-shower-question#post-490456 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:44:33 +0000 Miss Frenchie 490456@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hey everyone, my FSIL wants to have a honey-do shower for us. I need some advice on the following...</p> <p>What would be a interesting and nice hostess gift for her and her husband (he will be helping cook etc).</p> <p>Our wedding is less than 30-days away and some people have sent us gifts already and i dont want anyone to feel like they need to send us another gift becuase we are having a shower, we just want to enjoy their company and have a relaxed get together.</p> <p>Also are we supposed to invite grandmothers etc to this shower? My grandmother lives out of town and we would love to have her but dont want her to feel she is obligated to send a gift.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/destination-wedding-bridal-shower-need-favor-ideas#post-487531 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:44:54 +0000 caszos 487531@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Remember if you do anything liquid, people will have to check it coming back to the US.&nbsp; Also be careful with immigration with plants etc.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/destination-wedding-bridal-shower-need-favor-ideas#post-487528 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:44:06 +0000 caszos 487528@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>How many days early are you going?&nbsp; I would say buy something there.&nbsp; We found a lot of local street art vendors.&nbsp; See if you can find someone to maybe paint 10 small canvas pictures of her wedding flowers or something for you.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/destination-wedding-bridal-shower-need-favor-ideas#post-476807 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:15:00 +0000 Melissabegins 476807@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Blue mountain coffee, cute little rum bottles, hair flowers, local jewelry (they'll give you a great deal when you buy 10), things like that.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/destination-wedding-bridal-shower-need-favor-ideas#post-476778 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:07:02 +0000 Br1tSh1n1ngStar 476778@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Maybe small bottles of local rum or something like that.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/destination-wedding-bridal-shower-need-favor-ideas#post-473936 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:19:35 +0000 ATLBelle 473936@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi Bees,</p> <p>One of my best friends is getting married in 3 weeks in Jamaica.&nbsp; My girlfriends and I are going to throw her a surprise honeymoon/lingerie shower the morning of the wedding.&nbsp; The attendees will be family and friends - probably about 10 people total.&nbsp; We'd like to give favors to everyone, so I'm turning to you for ideas.&nbsp; I'd love to do something that is related to the island theme.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> <p>And also, thank you for all your help over the last year when I was posting questions and seeking advice for my own wedding in August.&nbsp; It was the best day EVER for me, and I incorporated many of the ideas from this message board.&nbsp; :)&nbsp;</p>
