Besides the mimosa bar, I'm thinking of doing an "advice" bar (recipes for solutions) for the bridal shower. Each station will have a question or scenario and all the guests would have to write and put it in a jar:
This is referring to my FH or just partners in general: (guests can answer from their experience with their partners or refer to FH specifically)
1. When he is not doing what he is asked (household chores, making appointments, etc...), what's the best way to get him to do it?
2. When he is throwing a tantrum or being a hangry (besides giving him a snack), how do you handle the situation?
3. When he is not listening, what are techniques on how to get him to listen?
4. When he says, "you're nagging me", how do you respond?
5. Once kids are in the picture...
and so on..
I was inspired by this lady who jumped into our conversation (me and a fellow engaged gal) about how our wedding planning is "nothing" and it gets worse LOL!! She gave us the "sparknotes" version of how things will be when we:
- move in
- have kids
- can't stand up to his mother
etc...
She pretty much encouraged us to be manipulative. I'm too stubborn to do it but I witnessed the effect when she did a demonstration for us! hahaha I had an older colleague in her 60's tell me that women are so smart, we need to manipulate the men sometimes. It sounds wrong but she said it gives you a clearer and more steady mind...only when we need it though.
After we get all the answers, the host can read it out loud - answers will vary from funny to serious. We can compile them in a book afterwardS.
ANY SPECIFIC IDEAS OR QUESTIONS? THANK YOU!
