Sweet shrimp in garlicky olive oil is just about the ideal tapas bar snack. The sweet shrimp and garlic aroma go perfectly with a nice sherry, while the leftover oil at the bottom of the earthenware dish is the ideal sopping-up liquid for good Spanish bread.
When to Have the Bridal Shower. A bridal shower can be held anywhere from six months to the week before a wedding. If many guests are traveling from out of town, it may make sense to have it closer to the wedding so they can attend. Otherwise four to eight weeks before the wedding works.
Traditionally, all of the women who will be invited to the wedding are invited to the shower, and the event is hosted by sisters, bridesmaids or other close friends. Invitations should be sent out 1 month before the shower. Address bridal shower envelopes by hand, using the formal names and written addresses of all the women you plan to invite.
