Bend Tradition With A Friday the 13th Wedding

Planning a wedding starts with picking a wedding date; a task that can be very complicated if you’re particular about numbers and meanings. As it happens, Friday the 13th is this Friday. While it is a popular day for superstitions and folklore, as a wedding date the verdict is still out! Decorating a fabulous modern venue with black décor would make a great glamorous Friday the 13th wedding. Incorporate dark red accents for a gothic wedding accent that would really accent the superstition. Most who believe in Friday the 13th believe that it is an unlucky day. However, some people believe that the significance of the number can be interpreted as a lucky number instead, mostly due to the fact it only falls a few times a year. This year, we will have three Friday the 13ths in 2012. Since most people wouldn’t dare plan a wedding on an unlucky superstitious day, most wedding venues probably have the date open. If you like Halloween or gothic themes this would be the perfect day to plan a dark gothic black theme wedding.

“Around the Clock” Bridal Shower Theme Ideas!

A bridal shower is a fun time for the bride to celebrate her new adventure into marriage. Close friends and family all join around the bride to be for a special celebration, typically over gifts and food. There are many different bridal shower themes that are popular, one of which is the “Around the Clock” bridal shower. The bridal shower gifts and theme are all centered on a certain time of day. Each guest is asked to bring a gift that reflects a certain time during the day. For example: say cousin Jill gets 6:00 AM, she may choose to bring something related to coffee as anyone who gets up that early definitely needs it! The bridal shower theme revolves around numbers and daily tasks. Gifts can be things for the house, kitchen supplies or gifts for the new married couple. There are plenty of fun bridal shower games that you can play to include numbers or household items, such as bridal shower bingo. Associate each space with something that pertains to a certain time, the questions will be “This drink is found on the table with a plate of waffles or cereal”. Instead of covering numbers each square has an answer to a question, in this case “orange juice”!
