For a bridal shower

Her granny and her friends give the bride their advice.

Her aunties, her cousins and her friends from work all record a message. She gets a book of what they told her.

Gathering is free. You won't need a card.

The three questions for a bridal shower

  1. What's the best advice you were ever given about love?
  2. What's a story about the bride you'd tell at the wedding?
  3. What do you wish for the couple?
Who's in a bridal shower book

The guests record before they arrive.

On the day, put the link on a card beside the gifts for anyone who forgot.

The groom's family

His mother and his sisters can record too, and the bride hears from them before the wedding.

2

Advice in writing

Anyone who'd rather write can type their advice, and it goes in the book with the voice notes.

3

Kept for the first anniversary

She can play the podcast link again on their first anniversary.

In their words
A Christmas gift
We gave a book of stories about Mam to her for Christmas and she said it was the best gift she had received. There were some stories she had never heard! She felt really surrounded by love.

Questions people ask

What is a good bridal shower gift from all the guests?

One gift everyone's in, alongside the presents from her list. Each guest's advice goes in the book with their name and a photo.

What advice do you give a bride at a bridal shower?

Tell her the thing you'd tell your own sister.

Can we give it to her at the shower?

Yes. Put it on while she opens the presents.

Is a bridal shower the same as a hen party?

A bridal shower is a daytime party with gifts, more common in the US. A hen is a night or a weekend out. A book of messages suits either one.

Can guests who can't come to the shower send a message?

Yes. They record from anywhere in the world with the same link. We post the printed book to Ireland, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, every EU country, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.
