We’re a long ways away from the inception of the bridal shower, when women historically gathered to shower the bride with gifts for her new home.  How you celebrate your shower is entirely up to you, and can go way outside the bounds of tradition - in today's episode, we're giving the old-school bridal shower some creative, modern twists! I realize that in many cases you don’t plan your own shower, so please feel free to forward this episode along to anyone who's helping you with the wedding plans. Another quick note >>> in our current state of social distancing, not every activity we review today will be available in every area, as of the air date of today’s show.  You’ll want to make adjustments accordingly based on your circumstances, and based on when you’re listening.   Enjoy, all my best to you & yours!    A special thank you to today's show sponsors: ON-DEMAND wedding planning services anytime, anywhere?  Yes, please!  To sign up for what one VAULT members calls “a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry” simply visit www.weddingplanningpodcast.co/vault Get professional help planning your dream honeymoon for FREE when you email susan@susanstravelservices.com.
