Bridal Shower Games Liven Up a Party!
Are you hosting the bridal shower and want to really liven it up? There are some hysterical bridal shower games that you should definitely take a look at. Some of these games are for mature audiences so be careful if your old Aunt Sophie is attending. You know what? Never mind. She probably knows more than all of us combined!
A great way to get the party started is to get your guests involved in the party fun as soon as they walk in the door. The perfect way to do this is to hand out the Helpful Hints cards! Do you remember way back when every kitchen had a recipe box? These cards are kind of like a recipe for a happy marriage. Each guest writes down a “hint” or advice for the couple. This is definitely not only a fun way to start the party, but will also be a treasured keepsake for the couple in years to come.
Instead of the bridal shower bingo that every one plays at the party, how about a contest to see who can navigate and complete the heart maze first? Each guest is given a card and a pencil and gets ready to go when the whistle blows. The first guest through the maze heart wins! You can give the winner a heart bridal shower favor as the prize.
Trivia! Who doesn’t love to test their knowledge with trivia? This fun bridal shower game is contains 52 questions about wedding customs, relationships, etiquette and more. A sample question is what is the cost of a wedding? (Do we really want to know? It’s the price of a good down payment on a house).
Looking to spice up the night? Then the bachelorette’s naughty scramble game is perfect. Your guests will have a blast unscrambling these naughty words. The guest that figures out the most words wins. Make it a double contest with each guest voting on the guest they think will the game. Come on – we all know one of us is a little bit more knowledgeable than the rest of us! Which one of you is it?

2010 Fashion Jewelry Trends
Budgets are tight these days, but that does not mean that you need to stop being fashion conscious. Jewelry is one of the best ways that you can stay current with today’s trends without having to spend all of the money that you have in your savings account. To really get the most bang for your buck it is important that you know what the top trends and styles are going to be so that you can choose quality pieces that will update your style.
Statement jewelry is actually one of the largest trends right now. Pieces like this may not be the most expensive pieces in your wardrobe, but they will pack a lot of punch for the amount of money that you have spent on them. You will want to choose pieces that are a bit more outrageous than your every day jewelry. Explore fun shapes, rich colors, and lots of sparkle. The key to making this type of look work for yourself is to keep your statement down to one piece per outfit. You do not want to have a large statement ring paired with a chunky armful of bangles, and some chandelier earrings. Instead, choose to simply work either a large statement ring or some dangly earrings.
Speaking of earrings, chandelier earrings are back in the spotlight this year. They bring with them an instantly feminine and glamorous look to any outfit that you add them to. Typically, chandelier earrings have some sort of sparkle to them, and this makes them the perfect addition to any going out look. However, do not think that you can only wear chandelier earrings in the evening. They are actually really beautiful when paired with simple jeans, heels, and a T-shirt. They will give you a bit of glamour to add into your everyday life.
Colors are really important this year. The fashion focus with this year’s colors are actually warm and rich shades. Jewel tones are very popular as long as they are rich and lush. Additionally, warm tones are very in style this year. That means that yellows, oranges, and reds are very popular. Additionally, yellow gold is also making a comeback. It did fall out of fashion a while ago, but now yellow gold is emerging as a new favorite this year. It looks especially great when paired with rich chocolate browns and denim.
Don’t forget to incorporate the colors into your choice of sparkle as well. You can choose to incorporate gemstones into you collection that are very rich in hue. These do not need to be the most expensive stones either. You can choose amethysts or citrines to give your accessories that glitz and glam that you are looking for. Additionally, you might want to explore pieces that have multiple stones in multiple hues to add to your collection.
Your jewelry is a great way to help enhance your wardrobe as well as to integrate the top fashion trends into your wardrobe. With a little bit of effort and attention to detail you will find that you are turning heads in no time!
