Planning a Wine Tasting Couples Shower
Shower the Bride and the Groom at a Wine Tasting Shower
Today, couples bridal showers are becoming more the norm. Also known as a Jack and Jill shower, the couples shower celebrates the bride and groom and gives the groom and his friends an opportunity to join in the festivities.
Planning a wedding shower can be an overwhelming task. However, it doesn’t have to be. You can provide the happy couple a festive day to remember by throwing them a wine tasting couples shower! It can be held at their favorite winery, a local cafe or at someone’s home.
Add cheese to the menu and the guests can enjoy learning about wine and cheese. Consider personalizing the party by featuring wine and cheese from a particular region, for example Italy, Germany or California. Or the guests can bring their favorite bottle of wine or variety of cheese. A cheese board or wine bottle holder is also a perfect wedding shower gift.
Typically you’ll want to select a variety of wine, usually three reds, three whites and a dessert wine to finish the evening. Local wine stores often will help you plan your party and sometimes will send a ‘Sommelier’ (professional wine taster) to conduct the tastings. As for varieties of cheese, you might try Baked Brie, Gouda, Swiss and Muenster.
The Guest List
Be sure to invite members of the wedding party, relatives of the bride and groom, and close friends. You’ll want to specify that it’s a coed shower on the invitations so the guests know they can bring a date.
Don’t Forget the Party Favors!
Shower guests will enjoy these wine themed shower favors. Who wouldn’t love a unique bottle stopper like this Asian themed Double Happiness Chrome Bottle Stopper for your favorite bottle of wine? Here’s a perfect favor for a wine tasting affair, the Wine Glass Favor kit. You can also buy a bottle of wine for each couple and personalize the label. It’s a wedding shower gift the happy couple will always remember.
