The Q: "Dear Always a Blogsmaid:
If I go to or host another boring shower, I'm going to vomit. I've made so many ribbon hats and TP wedding dresses this spring, I could gag. I'm an MOH at my BF's wedding this fall, what can I do to make her shower a little bit different?"
The A: What a great question. While I've been singing the praises of Co-Ed Showers and Bottino for a while now, I have been holding this question for the NEXT great idea when it came right into my lap! And Low and Behold, there it was by way of a phone call with the lovely ladies at Swirl Events. Swirl is a team of COOl GIRL sommeliers who will put together a tasty wine tasting for you and a close group of girlfriends. From wines to cheese and chocolates (I just gave myself a headache!!!) they do all the work. They have cool packages where they can either help you and your shower guests or party guests find the wines for your wedding (perfect for all of my loft brides) OR even an ECO Chic package, which will let you all taste the most organic wines on the market today.
To make it even more fun, they can make the party US Weekly approved- taste wine and compare it to celebs. As an option, their tasting note cards allow guests to debate whether that Sauvignon Blanc they're drinking is a Nicole Kidman (elegant and austere) or a Britney Spears (starts off great, but ends in disaster)?
I say put on your Winehouse wigs and get Wino for the next shower! (Imagine how fascinating the gift opening will be by the end!!! Prices from $55 per person!
