Coliforms will be one of the first bacteria present in the water should contamination occur, and they will be in much larger quantities than some pathogenic microbes that may be present. Therefore, coliforms act as indicators of possible contamination.
Should a mother of the bride (or step mother) host a bridal shower for her daughter (step)? On Friday I rec'd an invitation from the Mother of the Bride for a bridal shower she was hosting. I then find out the Step-Mother will be doing the same thing next month...what is the modern protocol for this event? Follow.
A bridal shower is commonly hosted by the maid-of-honor and bridesmaids. Although it was once considered poor etiquette for family members of the bride to host the shower, it is now acceptable. The event is usually held within two months of the wedding, up to two weeks before the big day. Don't invite guests to the shower who have not been invited to the wedding. You will need to decide whether this will be a traditional 'girls only' event or a couples party, often referred to as a Jack and Jill shower. Any time of day is acceptable, but most often showers are afternoon events.
