How to plan a successful bridal shower

tulips_w_ribbon

Recently my maid-of-honor hosted a excellent bridal shower for me. Both my guests and I had a great time. I will always remember it. Here are 5 reasons why I think the bridal shower was so successful.

  1. Communicating venue wishes: restaurant vs. home

    It is important for the maid-of-honor to discuss location with the bride. Bridal showers are typically at restaurants or at a person’s house.

  2. Surprise or no surprise elements

    It is up to the bride on how much you want to be involved. I literally just showed up and that was great fun.

Review of Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course

disney_magnolia_golf.jpg

This past trip was the first time I played golf outside of Southern California. The Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course was a great course. It’s long-distances, rough, and Bermuda grass greens provided fun challenges. The highlight was of course the 6th hole which has the Mickey Mouse bunker. It was also fun riding the cart (which is required) which has the GPS system and also a system to keep score.

Best Season to play: January through April, to beat crowds play Monday or Tuesday. On weekends, it is often closed for professional tour players to practice.

10 Things I enjoyed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

  1. Getting the passport

    animal-discovery-island-picture-015.jpg

    This is a great souvenir to buy and a great way to tour the park. You can by this for $10 at any of the stores. Inside has information about each land and stickers, as well as a pin. In the first section, there are a couple of pages of trivia questions that you must find answers to. There’s a hint as to which land you can find clues. Once you find the answers you can go to the stores designated (Outpost, Beastly Bazaar, Island Mercantile, Disney Outfitters, Mombasa Marketplace, Mandala Gifts, and Serka Zong, Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures). then you can go up to a cast member and tell them the answer to receive a special sticker.
