Let the festivities begin! Since your engagement, family and friends may be wanting to throw some traditional or not so traditional parties for you. Whether it's a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or some other celebratory gathering, be prepared for some spotlight. That said, whatever is being planned, make certain it's the type of thing you're comfortable with and want.
This can be tricky, especially if you're on the shy side. Part of you may feel grateful for your relatives or best friend throwing a shower for you, but at the same time anxious over the possibility of being embarrassed. This is where you need to be confident enough to speak your mind. You are the bride and regardless of who is planning a party for you or how they envision it, it must be something appropriate for your taste and liking. So if you're uncomfortable with lingerie at your bridal shower, let your hosts know, so they can plan ahead. There are lots of options or themes for wedding showers, and with a little creativity everybody's needs can be met.
Don't be afraid to turn down a request either. If you don't want a bachelorette party, don't have one. There is no need to feel bad about it either. Remember that every bride is different and what works for one may not necessarily work for another. Maybe a relaxing weekend getaway with your best friends or a day at the spa would be enough. Or maybe you do want a fun and a little crazy evening out with the girls before the big day. If that's not typically your personality, then you better let someone in on the secret. Just be clear on what exactly fun and crazy means to you.
There are as many unique ways to celebrate your upcoming nuptials, as there are unique brides. Don't feel pressured into agreeing to a party that makes you uneasy. Instead, share your thoughts and ideas on the type of celebration that would make you a happy bride and have them plan from there.
