One of the ways to show friendship and consideration is to participate in the Wedding Shower. The event, which precedes the wedding, usually counts on close friends and workmates of the couple and is an excellent way of guaranteeing the essential items, low or medium priced, for the new house. It’s also a chance for presenting the new home. And it all begins, of course, with the organization of the event, considering food and drink, and, most importantly, a list of possible gifts, according to the needs of the future couple, serving as a guidebook for the new home.
But how to prepare the list of items for the wedding shower? It’s simple: first, divide the list according to the different parts of the house. This first step is essential in order not to forget anything. From kitchen to bathroom, living-room and bedrooms, the list must also have items priced according to the guests. Thus, you avoid embarrassment by making a list that offers options of gifts at more accessible prices, as well as medium-priced and higher-priced items. To help making the list, let’s begin at the front door: the living-room. Among the main gift options: rug, key-ring, wrap for the sofa, cushions, wall clock, paintings, plants and vases. Still thinking of the living-room, but of a specific área, the bar, there are other possible gifts for the shower. Besides snack trays, guests may choose beer or gin glasses, wine glasses, as well as trays and bowls.
As for the kitchen, there are more expensive items, such as mixers, blenders, pots and pans, dishes, coffee-maker, and more affordable items, such as containers, knife-sharpener, can-opener, mugs, pizza cutter, ice-cream scoop, peeler, butter dish, trash bin, and thermal glove. For the bathroom, the list can have: soap dish, bath towels, toothbrush holder, trash bin, aroma diffuser, plunger, laundry basket, among others.
Lastly, the bedroom. Guests can opt for more expensive items, such as duvet, sheets, lamps, shelves and paintings, as well as less expensive items, such as hangers, curtains, pillows, bedspread, rug. However, more important than any gift, is knowing that the item was lovingly chosen by a friend, and will be part of the couple’s daily life as a symbolic memory.
