TIPS ON BRIDESMAID LUNCHEON

Hosting a bridesmaid luncheon will give you a chance to honor all of your female attendants and say thank you  for their participation in your wedding and the work they might have already contributed to it. The bride is normally the hostess but the luncheon could be hosted by a close friend or family member. It usually held a week or two before the wedding while things are a little calmer. It could be held at a private home, a club, restaurant, or maybe a spa (for a pre-wedding day spruce up of facials, makeup and massages). Also, it doesn’t have to be an actual luncheon. It could be a breakfast, tea, or dinner. At the gathering, you could choose to give your attendants their gifts instead of presenting these to them at the rehearsal dinner.

In the south, its customary to have a pink cake with good luck charms either baked into the cake or held by ribbons. Each bridesmaid pulls a ribbon and receives a charm signifying a deeper message. Some charms that are normally used are :

·                   Heart-love

·                   Coin-riches

·                   Wishbone/horseshoe-luck

·                   Ring-marriage
