Gifts for Bridal Shower

My little sister is getting married in December. Odd time of the year to get married, but she kept pushing the date back to accommodate everyone’s schedule. I told her to have it anytime she wanted, and to forget about all of the other people, but she’s very proper about these sorts of things.

When I was placed in charge of her bridal shower, I knew that gifts for bridal shower would be a hot topic among all of our family. Since I had first dibs, I decided to get her something that she would really appreciate, something classy and elegant. I decided to go in with my mom on some fine china dinnerware. Mom bought the plates, and I bought the Gorham silverware.

Well, we had the shower last week. I was impressed with all of the gifts for bridal shower that people bought – there were some really nice things! But I have to say, none were as nice as the Gorham silverware and fine china dinnerware that Mom and I bought Mel. She loved our gift the best, and not just because of the family ties. Of course they were nice presents, but the real reason she liked them is because it matched her character. So if you have an upcoming bridal shower, buy something that fits the bride to be.

Weddings and Gifts

Weddings are a celebratory ritual that allow for the coming together of friends, families, and strangers. Flowers, dancing, food, drink – a wedding is a cause for happiness that few other events in life can equal. The spring and summer are especially popular times to celebrate the union of two individuals. Purity, sanctity, and promise are all virtues that are upheld and honored during this time.

If you are attending a wedding soon, you want to provide the lucky couple with a gift that reflects the seriousness of their decision to come together. Fine china dinnerware or hostess sets make fine gifts for bridal shower too.

These presents, since they are of high quality, will be used by the couple for years. Ideally, even as they age into their golden years, they will remember who gave them such a gift. Wouldn’t you like for your present to be remembered and appreciated until death do you part?

Fine china dinnerware and Reed and Barton silverware make excellent gifts for bridal shower or the wedding celebration. If you are thinking about what to get the couple whose wedding you’re attending, think about giving a true impression of friendship with a lasting present of quality.

The Dinner Party Moment


There’s a certain feeling one gets when at a nice dinner party.

You walk in to the ornate dining room, and the long maple table shimmers in spots where Gorham silverware and fine china dinnerware aren’t covering it. The table is set for at least ten, and hot plates are already in position, awaiting the arrival of food. On top of the placemats are gold chargers and on top of those, sit the fine china dinnerware and red folded napkins, ringed. Each napkin ring is different, some have diagonal stripes, others have small silver stamped designs, but none look out of place; in fact, it seems as though they all came in the same set. The chandelier dangles and light refracts through the crystal while below it the flames of the two high candles jump and flicker. Two forks, two spoons, two glasses; it seems like everything comes in pairs. The china cabinet that holds all of this fine china dinnerware when it’s not in use sits at one end of the room, and you can see into the living room down through the hallway with the baby grand piano and large light brown leather couches.

As everyone sits at their places, you wait for the hostess to be seated. She lifts her Gorham silverware fork and with that, everyone begins to eat.
