okay let me tell you how the wedding shower goes in egypt!we call it HENNA NIGHT (henna means tattoo drawings)as for a bride the wedding shower is the day before her wedding or almost 2 days earlier.what happens on that day???its almost a dance nite!! where the bride n her friends dance all day!! and there's this band (girls band) consists of( dJ,dancers, henna"tattoo" drawing)the bride dresses up in four costumes n for each costume there is a related song (for ex. indian costume or hawaiian costume or any oriental arabic costume )there are no gifts for the bride on that day.the gifts are given when the bride returns from the honeymoon as a congratulation on her new home and her new life!! -

Pass out the envelopes to the Thank You cards and have everyone address them with their name and address. This way you're sure not to forget anyone and it saves the bride a lot of precious time.

Give an envelope to the person responsible for recording the gifts. As the bride opens her gifts, put the gift receipts in the envelope so they don't accidentally get thrown out with the wrapping paper and bags. When everyone has left the shower, tape all the receipts to the matching item. If the bride gets a duplicate item, or if she needs to return or exchange an item, she won't have to shuffle through receipts or keep up with them!

Tape a envelope to a smaller notebook to use for recording gifts. Put the money received in the envelope and there is no chance of accidently misplacing or throwing it away.

Instead of using a notebook to record gifts, just write down the gift on the card that came with it, that way there is less writing.

We actually created a Web site our friends and family could access. We thanked our shower hosts and hostesses, posted directions, gave an overview of how we met, posted pictures, and gave info on where we were registered. It was great!

Some people already have dishes and toasters when they get married...consider having a garden or houseplant theme. Guests could bring a plant or gardening gift, or even cuttings from one of their own plants or a book on planting trees...lots of options.
