Matching Pillowcases for Couples

Now that you have or will soon be tying the knot, it’s time for you and your husband to start giving your home the ambiance that a couple lives there. After all, marriage means things are now split 50/50, and that includes every room in the house. The bedroom is probably the first room you’ll want to decorate as a couple to make it feel more like neutral territory, both of yours, instead of just his or hers. However, deciding what you both will add to the room can be a struggle. You know he is going to want to hang his Godfather poster right where you want to hang your floral décor, so sacrifices and compromises need to be made. While deciding who gets to hang what where and what color scheme the room will be, keep any chance of a battle happening over what goes on the bed and suggest you design matching pillowcases!

Matching pillowcases look great with all types of décor because you get to design it the way you want! Plus, it also gives you a cute way of saying a couple now resides here and shares this space! When guests come over and tour your place, they will adore the matching pillowcases signifying you two as an item! Customize the matching pillowcases just the way you want by adding Mr. and Mrs., your initials, or even upload a photo of the two of you that can be printed on the pillowcase! The sky’s the limit with how creative you can get! Check out Bridal Party Tees today and begin decorating your new place together as a couple!

6 Low-Key Bachelorette Party Ideas

It would be great to take a trip to Vegas for the weekend to have a bachelorette party, but sometimes that is not always possible. The bride-to-be will want to have her closest friends there for the bachelorette party, and while a big trip somewhere for the weekend would be a lot of fun, it’s not always a practical option for every bride and her group. There’s a substantial cost and time investment involved with planning a bachelorette party of such magnitude and brides are starting to take notice in caution of their guests’ pocketbooks. A new trend we’ve noticed making waves on the wedding front is the low-key bachelorette party! If you’re invited to or planning a bachelorette party where the bride has requested a simpler and more subdued event, check out these ideas for the celebration!

Here are six low-key bachelorette party ideas:

2-Hour Getaway

If there is a big event going on in the neighboring town or beach nearby, this presents a great chance for the bachelorette party to breakaway from the norm! It not only is a nice change of scenery, but also can turn into a fun day trip that won’t break the bank!

Take a Class Together

Depending on the bride, you can attend a more reserved class such as a cooking class or you can spice things up a bit! If your group is bold and looking for some bachelorette fun, choose a pole dancing class to join for the day!

Dinner and Game Night

Go out for a nice dinner and after dining on good food, bring all the girls back for a night filled with fun games! Games like truth or dare, Pictionary, Barbie Dream Date and prank phone calls are all must-haves for the big night in! Plus, if the adult beverages are flowing, why not turn it into a sleepover!

Pool Party

While one of the more obvious low-key bachelorette party ideas, a pool party is something that many brides will enjoy. Decorate the pool area, have fun cocktails and finger foods for a day or night of water fun!

Comedy Club

As the wedding date draws closer, the bride and wedding party will need a break from all the wedding madness and nothing can relieve stress better than laughter! Take the girls out to local comedy club where everyone can have a good time!

Wineries

If the bride and her guests are fans of great wine, making a trip to a winery that is nearby can be a great way to relax and enjoy everyone’s company! Plus, you can enjoy the outdoors and experience new wines and flavors! If your bride is more of a beer girl, you can find a local brewery and taste some new beers instead!

Best Bridal Shower Games

With the honor of being a member of the wedding party comes the fun responsibility of planning the bachelorette party and the bridal shower! The bachelorette party is usually the easier of the two because all you really need are some creative bachelorette party shirts, party accessories and beverages to keep the celebration going! However, when it comes to the bridal shower, a little more thought and planning is needed. In fact, there is one very important part of a bridal shower that can make it an especially memorable event. Food and gifts are essential, but it is the entertainment and games that complete the affair!

If you are planning a bridal shower and need some ideas for games to play, we have selected some of our favorites that will keep the day lively and fun.

1)   Toilet paper dress

This is probably the most classic bridal shower game to play, but it is still a good one! Divide the guests into groups of about three or four and give them rolls of toilet paper. Explain to the guests that each group needs to create the most beautiful wedding dress they can out of the core material, toilet paper! They only have a short amount of time to impress the bride who will be the judge of which team created the best dress!

2)   Read his mind

About two weeks before the bridal shower, contact the groom and ask him about 15 questions related to himself and his relationship with the bride. You can ask romantic questions like, “Where was your first date?” or “Who initiated the first kiss?” but don’t forget to include questions that would generate a funny answer too! Try asking him questions like, “If you could throw away anything that your bride owns, what would it be?” and if you can, videotape the groom’s answers! Then the bride can’t question whether the answers were his or not, you have the proof to back it up! To take things up a notch, have the bride chew bubble gum while answering the questions and with each question she gets wrong, she has to add another piece of gum! It’ll be a true testament to how well she knows the groom, plus it will be hilarious to watch her try to answer questions with a mouthful of bubble gum!

3)   Two Truths and a Lie

If you’re looking for a game that involves the guests a little more in order to break the ice, try this one! Have each guest introduce who they are and provide three stories about the bride, two of which are true and one that is a lie. The person who correctly guesses the lie will receive points toward their score. Whoever has the most points by the time you have gone through everyone wins a prize! Not planning on handing out prizes? No worries! This game is fun enough to just sit back and enjoy all the stories being told! In most cases, you’ll find the true stories are the funniest and most entertaining anyway!

4)   Wedding 911

On an index card, write down some of the most outrageous things that could go wrong at the wedding. For example, “What if the wedding cake accidentally gets knocked over?” or “What if a relative gets drunk and starts telling embarrassing stories about the bride?” Once you have a number of scenarios that could go wrong at the wedding, hand a card out to each guest and ask them to write what they would do to handle the situation they are presented with. Collect the cards and read the responses out loud to the group. If you came up with some funny scenarios, you should get some funny responses back!

These are just a few of the many bridal shower games out there. What are some of your favorite bridal shower games?
