How to Throw a Co-Ed Wedding Shower
Why should the girls have all the fun? Supporting your groom to be by having his close friends and family there is becoming more and more popular.
Set a Theme:
Having a co-ed shower that is themed is sure to produce gifts that even the men will enjoy seeing.
Think about having a honeymoon shower. If you know where the bride and groom intend to vacation after the big event you can keep the destination in mind and use it for the theme of your co-ed shower. The guests will be expected to bring gifts that the couple will enjoy on their honeymoon such as cameras, excursion gift certificates, guidebooks, or even a video camera.
If you decide to host a shower around the theme of home entertaining, this will allow the guests to purchase gifts with that in mind. Some gift ideas might include a wine rack, decanter or glasses, barbeque tools, cake plates and special tableware.
Whatever theme you decide upon for your co-ed wedding shower, it is sure to be a hit.

HOT NEW COLOR FOR 2009
For the past few years, chocolate brown has been the color of choice, popping up in weddings as a hip neutral, and combined with bright colors. While chocolate brown isn’t going anywhere, the hippest new color for 2009 is gray.
You may think of gray as too dreary a color for weddings, but on the contrary, it can serve as a sophisticated foil to brighter colors. It’s great paired with pink or yellow, but perhaps the hottest combination this year will be silver and royal purple.

WEDDING DONT'S
- Don't Be Super Bride - You can't do it all by yourself. Believe it or not people do want to help all you have to do is ask. Divide your tasks and conquer. Even the small items on your To Do list can eat up your valuable time. Running errands, calling vendors, attending expo's, can all be things your bridesmaids or groomsmen would be happy to do for you.
- Don't ask for Cash instead of Gifts.
- Don't plan a wedding for everyone else - it's your wedding plan it for you and your future husband or wife.
- Don't stress over the little things. Take a deep breath and try to savor these moments how you plan your wedding together is a great reflection on your relationship. If you stress over the small stuff now chances are that this is how it will be when you are married. Show your future spouse how calm cool and collected you can be.
- Don't drink too much. You'll have people bringing you Champagne all day. Just take a sip here and there, but pinch yourself to stay in the moment. You'll want to remember all of it. That goes for guests, too.
- Don't forget to offer a vegetarian option at dinner.
- Don't seat divorced parents at the same table. YIKES!!!
- Don't go over 5 minutes on your toast.
- Don't forget to send thank you notes. Try to send the thank you notes as soon as you can 5 weeks is the general guideline.
- Don't skimp on your honeymoon you will regret it.
