My sisters Bridal Shower is Sunday, August 14th. I'm supposedly throwing it.. ;) ... but mom seems to be the one doing all the work. :D
Anyway... it's a 24 hour themed party as in every guest was given a time and the gift needs to be something Linn would use around that time.
I have 7 p.m.
Any unique ideas? She's the middle sibling of three girls if that helps any.
Thanks!
hmmm....this is about movie time - how about a popcorn popper, popcorn bowls - snack stuff??
on second thought - 7pm is probably only movie time at my age:D :p
trying to think back to newlywed years...
OK - music DVD, massage oils, candles, smellie goods, chocolates, satin pillowcases, etc - all tucked into a pretty basket;)
7 p.m. is around the time we usually have dinner. Maybe some sort of nice dining set/cooking set/cook book/etc?
That is a neat idea!!
7pm for us, would be after dinner...so dessert time :) So maybe a big bowl...filled with an ice cream scoop, gourmet chocolate syrup, maybe a set of 4 dessert bowls, and a recipe book for some kind of dessert. I *love* making theme gift baskets...it is so fun.
I like the Popcorn idea too...
Or...maybe 7pm could be coffee and dessert time , so maybe a coffee maker and a dessert cookbook or things that have to do with coffee...nice mugs, etc.
Neat idea. Let us know what you decide to do!
That time of day when it gets dark earlier than now I like to come home and light candles and put a cd on, of course usually one of the kids has the tv blaring but that would be a romantic idea, candles and a few cd's.
7:00 .... after dinner, dessert or snuggle/bath time. Smelly goods, foofy bath stuff, candles, massage oils, sexy lingerie ;)
7:00 PM is two hours after dinner. Its the time of night where we are relaxing, flipping through the tv channels, reading books or newspapers, etc. How about a couple nice overstuffed pretty pillows, a nice quilt or throw, so that she and hubby can curl up on the couch and cuddle together while doing these things?
You all eat dinner early compared to us! :p
Sometimes we eat around 5-6 but usually later.
Kimmy, maybe ask the people with the hours before and after you to see what type of things they're getting?
7 pm is bubble bath time ;) :D
Ya'll have great ideas! Keep em coming! :D
Linn and Nick are couch potatoes. They love their movies, so the popcorn idea is really neat.
I don't think they drink coffee, but I love that idea. I'll check with mom.
I think they would probably be eating around 7ish or relaxing after dinner.
My friend has 6 p.m. She has no clue what to get either. *laughs*
My grandma has 8 or 9 p.m. I can't remember off hand what she got, so I'll double check with mom.
Thanks guys! :D
One of the shower gifts I got was a bar blender so we could make smoothies and stuff. Usually around 7 is when my "hubby" (still feels weird to say that) and I are settling down to watch a movie are getting ready to go for a walk. Does your sister have any pets? If we watch a movie we usually have a fruit smoothie and air popped popcorn. Otherwise we go out to my mom's and take the puppydog for a walk.
Yep, she has a dog, but they don't really take him on walks since he has a 2 acre yard to go nuts in.
Well, 7 pm at our house is Jonah's yogart time! Does she like le creme yogart? :D
Once upon a time, 7 pm was getting ready to go out time....so maybe new curling iron, hairdryer,hair things, gift certificate for them for dinner?
That is a neat idea. Maybe I should break down and get married.....he he he.
So that you can get gifts? :D He he he!!!Quote:

On the original topic, I agree with Johanna. 7 is 'usually' getting ready to go out time, when we do go out in the evening, so something that has to do with 'getting ready' would be nice. I would've suggested dinnerware if it was 6pm, but 7 sounds a bit late for dinner.....at least for my family. We usually eat earlier. How about a nice candle stand/set? Some couples might think it romantic to relax after dinner with some nice candles burning. He he he.
That is a wonderful idea, but unfortunately, my sister is not the dress up and go out type. Very tomboyish.
Stuff that makes you pretty would be wasted on her. :( I bought her a nail kit for Christmas and she still hasn't opened it! :rolleyes:
Great ideas everyone! :D
