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.
Ideally the invites should be received 2 - 4 weeks before the shower. There are two thoughts that might influence your hostess when they make the decision. If you send them out too late, some people have already made plans. If you send them too early, people forget by the time the shower date arrives.
