Some other ideas for your shower
You will want to get a hold of some invitations and when you do, check online for some shaped glitter. Often you can find sun and moon shaped glitter which you can include inside the invitations and seal into the envelope. Also, if all of your guests are well known, why not provide a digital camera and encourage guests to use it when they like to take photos? At the end of the evening you will have enough photos for a scrapbook, in all likelihood, as well as some to mail along with thank you letters. The fun of ‘passing the camera’ is that you never know who will have it at which time and people are always taking pictures in ways that you might never have thought of. It’s a fun little to do as long as you know everyone present very well (don’t do this if you don’t, as you don’t want anyone to ruin your mood by walking away with the camera!). Beyond these quick tips, just make sure that there is plenty to eat and drink and that you’ve carefully selected the music and there is sure to be a good time had by all.
