Kali ini kita mau kasih tips untuk acara Bridal Shower dirumah nih,
kamu tidak perlu bingung dan ribet untuk itu, dengan mempertimbangkan
budget yang akan dikeluarkan, kamu bisa bikin acara bridal shower dirumahmu.
Bikin rumahmu senyaman mungkin dan enjoy selama acara berlangsung.
THE ETIQUETTE OF BRIDAL SHOWERS
Make sure there's enough room.
Even if the MOH is hosting the shower,
she's not obligated to stuff 45 women into her tiny studio apartment for
three hours. If one of the prospective guests, who the bride is very close to,
such as her grandmother or a coworker, volunteers her more spacious home,
say yes! And if she doesn't offer up her place? She may readily agree to it
if you just ask.
Don't have an overambitious menu.
A restaurant has multiple ovens and can prepare large quantities of food at once,
a shortcoming in most home kitchens. It's a good idea to limit the number of foods
that all would need reheating at the same time since they won't all fit in the oven
at once. Keep the menu simple with hot and cold choices—for brunch, you could
serve classics such as quiche, fruit salad, scones, and muffins. Or adopt a ladies'
tea theme and have finger sandwiches (salmon, cucumber, chicken salad) and
mini tarts, so no reheating is necessary.
Hire a bartender.
Since the food will most likely be set out as a buffet, there's little need for servers
(though you might consider hiring someone to help with setup and cleanup).
Instead, hire someone to handle the bar. Having a bartender to pour mimosas
(or another fruity cocktail), wine, and iced tea will elevate the ambiance, giving
the party an extra special touch.
Designate a gift spot.
You may need to clear out some furniture to make room for all the coffee makers
and bed linens hiding in gift bags that guests will be bringing. (Get the homeowner's
approval before you move anything.) Since opening gifts is a major activity during
a bridal shower, make sure the area is in plain view of guests so they can ooh and
ah every time the bride unwraps a new treasure.
Decorate with care.
Be respectful of the house itself—that means not sticking décor on the walls that
will leave marks when removed, not using glitter on anything (most will end up
on the floor), and avoiding setting vases full of water on wood tables (they could
leave a ring).
Give an end time.
Even though you didn't have to "book" the place for a certain number of hours as
you would at a restaurant, the invitation should note not just when the shower starts
but also when it ends. This will help guests plan their day and obligates no one to
hang out for hours. It's also a courtesy to the host—at some point, she wants her
house back!

Ulang tahun sahabatmu sebentar lagi? nggak usah bingung mencari kado yang mahal,
Kamu bisa mencoba ide-ide unik dibawah ini untuk sahabat terbaikmu.
1. Friends Picture Collage
I'm digging this picture frame and think it would be such a fun way to
memorialize a friendship or relationship that has blossomed through the years.
2. Chill Pills
This idea would be cute to give to a friend who works in the office with you
and understands the stress level of your work environment.
It would also be good for a friend whom you know has a stressful job, even
if you can't empathize with them.
3. Matchbox Camera
This is such a fun idea! Simply color a matchbox black, add the white
parts and fill the inside with prompt cards for taking photographs.
4. Remind Them Why
This is a great thing to do for the friend that gets stressed out super easy.
I did something similar when I was in eighth grade. I bought a notebook and
had my mother's friends write a letter telling her what she meant to them.
Sometimes it's the reminder that you mean something that makes the
biggest impression!
5. Study Care Package
The story along with the picture: Fatima‘s sister graduated from law school
and she made this kit to help her prepare for the bar. My best friend is a teacher
and we need many of the same things! This would be a great care package to
liven up a best friend, or sister's, day!
6. Keep a Notebook
One of my best friends and I did this when we were in high school. I gave the
book to her but remember we wrote in it back and forth all the time. We talked
about boys mostly – at the time it was this cute boy from work. Now cute boy
from work is my husband. I wish I could get my hands on that book now!
7. Remember When...
‘Open when' letters are nice to have around when you know your best friend
could be going through some heavy emotions. It could work especially well when
you move away from them, temporarily or permanently. Just a nice reminder
that somebody cares, like much of these other items.
8. Smile
The perfect gift to put at a place of employment or beside your friend's bed.
It's short and sweet – plus it reminds them that they are stuck with you!
9. Ice Cream in a Box
Here's a gift that I cannot wait to make. I have a waffle cone maker and love
making my ownmarshmallows so many of the ingredients would be homemade!
If you have a friend whose birthday is in the summer, they might appreciate this
as a chance to cool down. Although if you are lucky enough, you might have a friend
who loves ice cream all year round and can make it for them whenever!
The idea comes from Smashed Peas and Carrots.
10. Beach in a Jar
This beach in a jar idea from The Country Chic Cottage would be great for a friend
with whom you recently went to the beach with. Take a handful of the sand to add
to this jar. Maybe the drink umbrella comes from a restaurant you went to.
You could even add in a picture around the back if you'd like.
Customizing these ideas are a great way to make your friend feel special.

INGREDIENTS
3 c. cake flour, spooned and leveled
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. Kosher salt
1 lb. strawberries, chopped, plus more whole for garnish
1/2 c. buttermilk, at room temperature
1 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp. lime zest
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease three 8-inch round cake pans and
line bottoms with parchment paper rounds. Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder,
and salt in a bowl.
Process strawberries in a food processor until small pieces and a thick puree form,
5 to 10 seconds. Whisk together buttermilk and 1 cup strawberry puree in a bowl. Reserve
remaining puree for Strawberry-Cream Cheese Frosting.
Beat butter and sugars with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy,
1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Beat in vanilla
and lime zest. Reduce speed to low and beat in flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately,
starting and ending with flour mixture, just until flour is incorporated. Divide batter among
prepared pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes.
Cool in pans on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then invert onto rack to cool completely.
Place one layer on a cake plate and frost top with 1 cup frosting. Repeat two more
times. Cut a 12-by-24-inch piece of plastic wrap and fold in half to make a 6-by-24-inch strip.
Wrap around cake to secure layers. Chill until frosting is set, 4 hours or up to 1 day. Top with
whole strawberries just before serving.

Setiap tahun, suka atau tidak kamu punya rencana untuk merayakan ulang tahun
anak. Bingung mengakali tiap tahun pengeluaran untuk itu, kamu bisa mencoba
beberapa tips DIY dekorasi pesta yang pasti low budget.
Cereal Box Pinata
Turn an empty cereal box into a party game by making your own pinata.
Charade Popsicle Sticks
Write easy charade ideas (monkey, sneeze, umbrella, dancing) on wooden craft sticks. Adorn with
pompoms and place in a jar decorated with wash tape. No Peeking!
Parcel Tag Banner
Stick letter on individual parcel tags and string them together for a fun twist on the classic banner.
DIY Number Wall
Those large metallic Mylar number balloons are very trendy but can be pretty expensive. Create
the same large-scale impact with regular balloons. Just tape them to the wall, using a single colour
for more of a graphic punch. Scrunch up coffee filters (yep, coffee filters!) to look like flowers and
fill in the gaps between the balloons.
Decorative Banner
A custom-made banner is a sweet party decoration. But ordering one from Etsy or a local maker
can get a little pricey. Instead, use your computer and printer to make your own. It’ll require a bit of
effort but minimal talent, and it’s reusable-after the party, simply take the letters off the string and
store them flat in an envelope.
Ombre Balloon Garland
Blow Up some small balloons and tie each one to a long piece of ribbon. Slide them around to
even it out. Adorable!
Photo Booth Wall
Create a washi-tape frame on the wall big enough to accommodate a couple of kids. Offer up
some fun props and snap away! After the party, email the photos to your guests as keepsakes.
Don’t stress about your wall paint getting ruined-wash tape peels off easily.
Cake Flags
Easily elevate a boring cake with these cute flags, which also look adorable on a tray of cupcakes.
Just fold a piece of washi over one end of a wooden skewer and then cut a notch to create a flag
shape. Use toothpicks if that’s all you have on hand.
Custom Tableware
Disposable tableware is convenient, but a little plain. If you want to spruce it up, try wash tape.
Wrap the ends of cutlery, tape around cups, add flags to straws, or cut out a cute bunting motif to
jazz up plain brown paper loot bags.

Who can resist such a decadent snack?
A Keepsake
Why not gift your bridesmaids something they can keep forever? It’s something

Bikin birthday cards sendiri akan lebih berkesan dari pada harus belikan?
Coba yuk bikin birthday card dari bahan-bahan yang sering kita temui
disekitar kita,..
1. Kissing buttons cards
Adding a bit of a 3D element to a card is always fun, and it’s totally visually appealing too.
We love the way the buttons contrast with the thin, simple lines of the stick drawing in
this kissing love note card by Paolo Jacopo Medda!
2. Hiding bear card
Do you love novelty cards that open and unfold? Then you might like this
adorable cartoon bear who’s clearly prepared for a surprise party!
3 . Paper doily cupcake card
If you’ve ever browsed our site before, you probably already know how much
we love DIY projects that upcycle or use unconventional materials. That’s why
we like this cute little cupcake card made with a paper doily so much!
5. String balloon card
Designing a card that’s cute on the outside is definitely a good idea, but we also like
cards that are cute on the inside too! The Thrifty Ginger suggests cutting out paper
balloons and banner flags and then using pieces of coloured string to actually make
a little pop up party scene when the card opens.
6. Washi tape candle card
If you love bright colours and patterns but you’re not very confident in your drawing
and painting skills just yet, then try using washi tape to make pictures with nice straight
lines and clean edges! It comes in so many patterns and colour combinations that
we doubt you’ll have trouble making a fun birthday candle design like this one by Omiyage.
