Most bridal showers take place between three weeks and three months before the actual wedding. While there is no ‘golden rule’ the timing will largely depend on important guests’ availability and the bride’s preferences. April tends to be one of the most popular months for bridal showers given that it is two months before June, which stands as one of the most popular wedding months. Now is the time to plan for those bright and cheery gifts!
Wedding Day Survival Kit
For as much planning that is involved in a wedding, something always goes wrong. Whether that something is big or small, you can make the bride-to-be smile with a handmade wedding day survival kit. Purchase a lingerie or mesh bag in pink or white, and fill it with items like stain remover pen, breath mints, mini sewing kit, clear nail polish (for stocking runs), deodorant, earring backs, and anything else you can think of that will keep the bride from becoming a bride-zilla when things go wrong.

Martha Stewart has always been America’s go-to for crafting and cooking. She combines the two in her newlywed cookbook that is designed to help the new couple with quick dinners and meals for larger family parties.
Gold Cake Stand
Elegant and ready for any size gathering, the gift of a gold cake stand helps the newlywed couple establish a charming home. Not solely for cakes, a gold elevated stand is also perfect for cupcakes, other breathtaking desserts, and any food item the couple wants to proudly display.
Visa Gift Card
Give the bride to be the gift of nearly endless choices with a Visa Gift Card. Customizable, safe and secure, she’ll delight in purchasing an item she might not otherwise buy for herself. Include a photo of the two of you or a special event, and finish it off with text like, “Here’s to the Mr. & Mrs.!” or “Congratulations!” whatever short sentiment you wish to convey
Personalized Stationery
Writing correspondence may for some, conjure the image of a 19th-century woman seated at a desk with a quill and pen, but that doesn’t mean personalized stationery doesn’t still hold the same charm. Choose from different fonts and themes, you’re sure to find something that perfectly fits the bride’s personality.
Floral Tote
