Here's a thought - a pre-wedding tea/happy hour! I know, sounds corny, but sometimes it's really nice just to get together with the ladies and have little appetizer things.
The neat thing is that you can definitely do it to suit your personality - you could do finger sandwiches, tea/coffee, mini quiche, mini eclairs/little desserts, etc or you could do something more modern like pigs in a blanket, mini mac n' cheese, veggies n' dip, potato skins, cocktails, etc.
If you want, ask each lady to bring a favorite recipe (could be for dinner, dessert, appetizers, holiday dish or cocktail) and then make a book out of them for you and your new husband.
Side note: I wouldn't call it a bridal shower or anything even though it's just ladies because it seems like the term 'bridal shower' insinsuates that most people should/will bring a gift. :)

Great ideas! I love it! That's exactly what I want. Just to get together with all the other wives! Now, I just have to figure out what to call it? I like the happy hour thing.... Hmmmmm
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, ladies. You helped me out major on my last post, I need more help!
My fiance and I are not having a bridal party. As mushy as it sounds, we really are eachother's best friend, and we just are not that close to a lot of people. We have a lot of "aquantences" as opposed to "friends". So, since I am without a MOH or BM's is it ok for me to plan my own bach party? I am thinking we'll go roller skating (because, why not?) and then hang at my house with finger foods and drinks. Nothing out of control or expensive. Any opinions?
Also, I don't know what to do about a bridal shower. We are having a Jack & Jill in August, so I really don't need a bridal shower where people feel they need to bring me presents. The Jack & Jill is a cultural thing for me, it's just what we do :-) The money we get from the Jack & Jill will be going towards our honeymoon (not paying for the wedding, like most people think), which is all we really need. We've lived together for 6 years! I don't need any more dish towels, ya know? I am thinking of having a bridal "party" of some kind, mainly because I am the youngest in the entire family, and it's important for me to get together with all the women one last time. Everyone else in the family has had this, and I don't want to screw myself out of a family get together, just because we are having a Jack & Jill. I was thinking of having people just bring a dish, no gifts, and a favorite recipe for me. Again, it's more about being with everyone one last time before I am a wife, than getting presents. Any thoughts on this? I was thinking of having the bridal party in the afternoon and then the bach party later that night. Has anyone done this? And if I just have people bring recipe cards for me, any suggestions on what we should do to pass the time when I would normally be opening gifts?
Sorry this ended up so long! It's been bugging me for weeks!
Thanks again ladies! You're lifesavers!!!
