Need some ideas

Oh man.  There's so much wrong with this whole thing.  I think I'm going to have to step away from the computer before it all comes flooding out.

And yeah, ditto PPs.  I'd focus on the tea party theme and not so much the Marie Antoinette part.

I third that, Salt and Amoro.

I was actually going to ask if this is for real....

[QUOTE]That is the other thing I am struggling with, the bride mentioned wanting champagne jello.  Any one know what that is?  Is it like a champagne jello shot?

Champagne jello is just a flavor of jello, you can purchase it right next to all of the other jellos

CHAMPAGNE JELLO!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Pretty princess pink ball gown is where I almost threw my keyboard on the ground. 

It sounds more like a kiddie costume party than a freakin' bridal shower.

I know Amoro, it is ridiculous, but when you're 19 I guess you get "champagne" for your wedding any way you can.  It's actually pretty funny.

I was going to suggest some gambling (since Marie Antoinette was an out of control gambler), but I'm not sure that is appropriate for a shower .

That's what I thought but when I googled it, only the drink recipes came up.

I had no idea there was champagne jello.

I would save your money. You can throw her a really nice shower next time.

BUAHAHAHAHAHA I was thinking the same thing!!

ohwhynot

Goodness.  I was thinking perhaps an intervention would be more appropriate than a shower, but I guess I'm a jaded old biddy. 

OP:  It's kind of you to want to throw a shower, and I hope your cousin's marriage is a happy one. 

It could happen, people!

Listen, I get it my 18 year old sister is getting engaged, and while I don't agree with it or think it's the smartest decision I will still support her.  I've said what I have to say to her, so I get it.

Just focus on having a dessert party with lots of pretty roses and candles.  I'm not sure if a "tea" party is really something that will interest 18 and 19 year old girls.  Have a elegant romantic dessert party.  Maybe do it on an evening. You can do shades of pinks and reds and silver.  It doesn't have to look Barbie it can be done in a very elegant way.

Yeah.  They could be the 1% that makes it through! <-- Completely unsubstantiated comment.

Liberty27

I am 24.  Personally, I hate traditional bridal showers with the games and such, but that is what she wants and I can do it on my limited budget so...

Liberty27

Thanks, that is what I will shoot for, and elegant desert party...

Oh I don't remember you saying this is what she wants.  If this is what she wants than go for it!  19 or not she's still the bride, and all kidding aside I think it's very kind of you to support your cousin.
