A bridal luncheon, also often called a “bridesmaids’ luncheon” or “bridal tea” is a party thrown in honor of bridesmaids. The bride hosts the meal as a way of saying “thank you” to all her maids. She often uses the event as an opportunity to present them each with a gift as well. Though the luncheon is all about giving thanks, they also give all the bridesmaids-particularly those who may live out of town or not know each other very well-the opportunity to get to know each other better before the big day.

To make Thanksgiving more memorable this year, consider starting a new tradition or two with the family. Because as you know…..traditions help create lifelong memories.

Make this the year you go the extra mile, by extending your generosity and blessings beyond your own family.
During Thanksgiving time, plan an annual “Giving Day” that involves every member of your family. Collect cloths, toys, and food and donate them to local shelters (such as battered women shelters or homeless shelters). You could also collect pet toys and pet food and take them to the local animal shelter.
