Fun Chicago Bachelorette Parties & Chicago Bridal Showers
by Alison Lonesome Rodriguez
Bridal showers, bachelorette parties, and more!
Weddings give us a chance to celebrate with our friends a number of times during the engagement. Often, the bride’s family will host a shower and then one of her girlfriends will host another one at a later date. Everyone’s just so happy for you and they want to partake in the celebration.
Nowadays, it’s hard to come up with new ideas for bridal parties. Most of us have been to so many showers and bachelorette events that we’ve grown accustomed to the idea of celebrating in a traditional way.
It’s time to think outside of the box. We’ve put together a short list of unique ways to hang out with your family, friends and bridal party members.
Afternoon Tea Enjoying afternoon tea at a 5-star hotel is an experience like no other. Cordial members of the wait staff provide you with a list of some of the finest teas from all over the world. Later, they serve the tea along with delectable little crumpets like mini-tortes and cucumber sandwiches. You’re free to dish away while a 3-piece ensemble plays classical music in an alcove nearby. Some of our favorites include the Peninsula Hotel and the Four Seasons.
Ceramic Parties ֖ Several storefront ceramic studios around Illinois cater to brides and wedding parties. Usually, you’ll pay a studio fee ($7.00 8.00) plus the price of the ceramic pieces you choose to paint on that day. Once you’re finished, the staff will take your pieces and fire them in the kiln sometime over the next few days. Generally, you’re able to pick up your ceramic pieces in a week’s time.
I recently attended a fun baby shower at Glazed Expressions in the heart of Lincoln Park. We were all able to satisfy our artistic cravings while spending quality time with the mom-to-be. You can contact Glazed Expressions at 312-867-1792.
