Party Ideas:
*Wine Tasting-have guests vote on their favorite red and favorite white wine…then have these at your
reception
*Have your guests sign a cork with a fine tip sharpie at the party (on end of cork), after the party, hot glue the corks onto a wooden or metal initial letter of your new last name. When gluing corks be sure to position them so guests’ names show.
Décor Ideas:
*Corks, corks and more corks
*Fill vase with corks, add rice lights with battery pack to the vase
*Spray paint empty wine bottles, fill with baby’s breath or dry tall twists for centerpieces
*Fill rose bowl with corks and then nestle an LED candle in center of corks
Fun Twist:
*Consider monogramming your gift of glassware for the couple with their last name initial
*The couple could preview their signature drinks for their reception to the shower attendees
*Ask each attendee to bring their favorite liquor, wine or mixer to build the couple’s bar
*To make it a little more interesting…assign each attendee a letter…they have to bring something that begins with that letter. They can find a brand or a type that starts with their assigned letter. What makes it fun is that they have to get very creative on some of the letters.
