Do you have someone special in your life that is getting ready to take the plunge and tie the knot? With all of the DIY rage going on right now, maybe it is time to think of getting creative with the bridal shower. Just picture the perfect french setting with wonderful wine and appetizers! It is easy to create an intimate party atmosphere with the addition of bistro patio furniture. A wine tasting bridal shower is a great activity if the bride to be is already living with her partner and already has everything needed in their home. You can have a “stock the bar party.” Just ask everyone to bring their favorite alcohol or something to help with their bar (a shaker, shot glass, etc). The bar is something that gets overlooked at showers and weddings and your friend may have not even thought to register for these things.

Start picking up bottles of several different kinds of wine and put small white labels next to each one so guests know what they are sampling. You will also need some food to pair with each one. First, figure out what you are having and then look up what would be good to serve with each different type of wine. To make it easy on your guests you can put the food directly beside the wine it pairs the best with. Don’t forget that each person will need their own wine glass. Have fun with this! Find markers to directly write names on the glasses or pick up some wine glass charms to make them different from each other.Throwing a classic French wine tasting shower is sure to be remembered for years to come.
