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.
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.
