Hi all,
I figured this would be a great thread to store my ideas, ask for advise and share my joys and woe's as I plan a multicultural, classic yet trendy bridal shower for my sister-in-law to be.
The girl:
A career driven 30 year old
No family in NJ
Parents/Family in Malaysia
Religion: Hindu
Culture: Singapore/Indian/Malay
The boy (my brother):
A happy-go-lucky 30 year old
Semi career driven
Parents/Sibling in NJ
Religion: Catholic
Culture: Hispanic
The girl - trendy, fashion forward, totally Americanized (no I will not do a prearranged marriage mom - I want my Hispanic boy toy! duh!). NYC attitude and if she had it her way would live the NYC high life in a loft in midtown Manhattan and run her own marketing firm.
Problem, we're all broke due to a crumbling economy, so a sheek party in a lounge on 5th Avenue is OUT of the question.
Solution:
The Wine Cellar at Cinder's Fire Wood Grill in NJ: It's an Italian American restaurant with a party room that is clean and decorated in muted earth tones.
Next post, the invitations.
