- Have another party or two in the run-up to your wedding. American brides enjoy a bridal ‘shower’ where all her girlfriends celebrate the forthcoming nuptials with themed presents, playing silly games and eating! Possible themes include bubbles and baths (anything that smells divine and can be used in the bathroom), true romance (favourite poetry, massage oils, aphrodisiac foods, in season (things appropriate to that particular season like beach towels for summer, hot chocolate for autumn, glitter balls for Christmas etc.) changing rooms (something for each room in the house) and the kitchen (guests may give you their favourite recipes or kitchen gadgets)
- Another popular party is the rehearsal dinner, usually held by the groom’s parents the night before the wedding to welcome their new family and out-of-town guests. A good way for the wedding party to get to know each other
- On the day, bridesmaids walk up the aisle in front of the bride rather than behind
- Many mothers opt to wear a wrist corsage instead of one pinned to their top or bag
- Add the garter toss to your tossing the bouquet ritual. This is when the single men are lined up to catch the bride’s garter. Yes, you’ve guessed it, the winner will be the next to marry
