Product Description
Of the many celebrations surrounding a contemporary wedding, the wedding shower is especially personaland especially meaningful. As its name implies, its the occasion when friends and family gather to shower the brideor couplewith love, laughter, tokens of affection, and heartfelt wishes for the future. It intensifies the excitement about the big day to come. And because its more intimate and less formal than other wedding-related events, the shower uniquely carries the signature of the friend who hosts it. Bringing together all the elements that make for a successful wedding showerone thats memorable for everyone involvedis no small task, however. Selecting the right theme (elegant tea, homey brunch, swanky cocktail fête?) and then deciding on the guest list, designing the invitations, creating the menu, and picking out the decorations all require imagination and careful planning.
In Simple Stunning Wedding Showers, author Karen Bussen draws on her long experience as a wedding and party planner to guide the shower-giver through each step, from budgeting and etiquette, to choosing refreshments that enhance the ambience, to devising activities that break the ice and heighten the fun. Throughout, William Geddess remarkable photographs bring Bussens simple stunning ideas to vivid life.

 Simplicity in a Book August 8, 2008
This book gives great, inexpensive ideas for throwing showers. Every detail from the theme, to the invitations, to the drinks and food you serve is covered. Most of the ideas can actually carry over for birthday parties, too. Worth the purchase.
 Simple and Stunning but not enough Projects.... July 22, 2007

Hi, I liked this book for the ideas in it, but the author doesn't give you how to make the invitations to go along with the ideas or how to make favors to match, etc. If you are wanting more of a "project" oriented shower book, don't buy this book. This book is more of an "idea" book. Now, there's some good recipes in the back, but that's about all this book seems to be good for as far as "project" orientation goes. I would suggest a different Bridal shower book if you want projects to make. Thanks.

I enjoy all of Karen Bussens' books. They are elegant,beautifully photographed and full of wonderful ideas. Perfect for anyone who loves to give parties, entertain, or is just creative in general. You do not need to be involved in wedding planning to need or even enjoy these books. A very good buy!!!!!

This book was very helpful and planning wedding showers and the pictures were awsome. The main reason i bought the book was for the pictures, they give you great ideas for all kinds of things. A bonus of the book is that in the back it tells you where you can buy all the products u see in the book. If youre looking to plan a shower and need help with themes, games, information, resources, then this is definitely the book for you.
