Question:
My sister is getting married for the 3rd time ... is it appropriate to have a shower for her? Her first 2 she eloped and they were uneventful. She has finally found her soulmate and I would love to make it special for her. Shower, couples shower or just a party??? Thanks for your time,
Answer:
Dear Eileen,
Absolutely! Did you know that over 50% of couples who are marrying today involve one partner who has been married at least once before? And since your sister hasn't ever had a bridal shower thrown for her, now is the time to go all out! She's found her soulmate, and that alone calls for a major celebration.
Handle her shower the way you would normally approach any bride's shower -- find out from your sister what she envisions and probe her for her "must haves" including her favorite colors, theme ideas (i.e., co-ed, couples, ladies tea), favorite foods and music choices. Be sure your sister and her man (if shower is to be co-ed) provide you with a guest list. Then you're good to go!

Couples and co-ed showers are hot new trends. This modern style upgrade takes into account the many changes in our society at large. Couples tying the knot now are oftentimes older, established and oftentimes walking down the aisle for a second or third time. Ask your sister if she's open to having a co-ed shower. That way singles and marrieds alike can attend. The bonus: everybody gets to meet your sister's dream man!
Happy Showering!
