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.
I ask this because I am a little worried about timing... My mom and sister are throwing my bridal shower 6 weeks before my wedding. I was planning on sending out my wedding invitations 10 weeks before the wedding (which I believe is a little on the early side) because they include hotel information, etc. This is obviously 4 weeks before the shower which also seems like the prime time that my mom and sister would be sending out shower invites.
