It is generally believed that if you receive an invitation to a bride's party, it will be a lunch or afternoon tea that only women can attend. You may have dinner, chat and play games with the bride's friends on a Sunday afternoon, pestering the bride to ask some questions about the groom, and then giving the bride some household items such as crystals, porcelain and bedding to decorate her new house.

Traditional bridal parties are still popular, but you also have more fashionable choices, such as holding a carnival for both men and women. Opening gifts one by one can be an omitted link. It is important that the guests get together in an informal situation before the wedding and have the opportunity to get to know each other. This party can have its own theme, such as cocktail parties or outdoor picnics. The bride and groom entertain rich food, and everyone dances and revels, getting to know each other and warming up for the wedding in advance. This kind of party is not only for the bride, but also for the groom.

Bridesmaids and groomsmen

The traditional rule is that the bride invites her closest female friend or relative to be her maid of honor, while the groom invites her own brother or male friend to be her best man.

Strict gender rules can be completely broken. The latest fashion is that, for example, if the bride's best friend is a man, she can play the role of bridesmaid with the bride in the past, and the groom can also let her best female friend or relative stand by. So how do they dress up? Of course, clothes can't be reversed. For a man, even standing next to the bride, he should wear the same dress as the best man, and the woman standing next to the groom should also match the bridesmaid's dress. If the bride has several sisters or a group of close friends, you can also invite them to form your bridesmaid group, which is the same for the groom.

Banquet menu

The classic western-style wedding banquet includes a cocktail cold meal, followed by a formal banquet with meat, fish and shrimp as the main recipes. Some brides and grooms also arrange wedding buffets so that guests can eat freely.

The bride and groom are becoming more and more proficient in eating and drinking. Japanese sushi, Spanish snacks, Greek and Italian cuisine are all popular choices today. Cocktail parties are also popular. People can enjoy a lot of hot and cold appetizers freely, and there is a lot of room for activities. Guests can stand or sit at will. Many brides and grooms like this way, because it can not only better communicate with the guests, but also let everyone enjoy the dishes as much as possible.

Wedding music

Playing with a band or inviting a DJ is the mainstream way to drive the atmosphere at the wedding scene. They usually play traditional wedding songs to set off the festive atmosphere.

The bride and groom can choose to make their own unique wedding songs instead of hearing the same wedding music at every wedding as before. Pop and rock bands have also become the choice of many newcomers. The bride and groom can choose music and bands according to the characteristics and customs of the wedding place and honeymoon place. For example, if you are going to spend your honeymoon in the Caribbean, you can choose a steel drum band to entertain you. Djs are still very popular, but now there are new requirements: I hope they can understand the preferences of guests and use microphones as little as possible. There are also some weddings that invite multiple bands to participate in different aspects of the wedding. For example, invite a harpist or pianist to play at a cocktail party, and then invite another band or DJ to change styles at a banquet.

Bridesmaid Dresses

Every bridesmaid will be required to wear the same dress, even the jewelry and shoes on her feet should be coordinated.

In fact, every bridesmaid's figure is different, so now the bride gives the bridesmaid the space to decide her own clothes. Let each bridesmaid choose her favorite color, fabric and style that can modify her figure. One chooses clothes wrapped in chest, and the other likes to wrap them tightly, so she can choose a neckline with square shoulders. You can also let bridesmaids play under the same theme, such as taffeta dresses of the same color, some wearing thin suspenders, some wearing large collars and long sleeves, and some wearing tube tops. Skirts can also have different lengths and styles, such as long skirts, pleated skirts, diagonal cuts, over the knees and so on. In this way, the bridesmaid's clothes are generally coordinated, taking into account everyone's personality and comfort. Because after all, every adult woman doesn't want to dress exactly like others.
