The Swanky Chicks are so thrilled to be your guest blogger for the day! Swanky Chicks is your baby and bridal shower planning destination so we thought we would share with you a creative bridal shower idea. An around the clock bridal shower will ensure that the bride receives gifts she needs in all areas of her life, and give you a fun theme that you can really get creative with.
So what is an around the clock bridal shower? The shower focuses on the different “times” in a bride and grooms lives together and creates categories for gift-giving. This can be done in one of two ways , each guest is assigned an hour of the day or a time like breakfast time or party time. Your guests will have a ton of fun choosing gifts for their assigned time and the bride will receive everything from a waffle maker to lingerie.

Here is a simple poem for the invitations to explain the shower to your guests.
We’re having a party! And won’t it be fun
Many cheers and best wishes before we are done
A shower for (bride’s name), our esteemed bride-to-be
A reason to revel, we know you’ll agree
“The times of our life” is the theme for this day
To help the new couple get on their way
Breakfast at home, lunch in the park
Playtime and fun time from morning til dark
Filling each second, each minute, each hour
That is our challenge for this bridal shower
We hope you can join us, we hope you’ll agree
(Hostess’s address) is the place to be!
YOUR TIME OF DAY IS_______________
You can incorporate this theme in everything from the invitations to the food. Serve food buffet style from a variety of meal times around the clock. Incorporate clocks and timers into the decor, and give kitchen timers or calendars as favors.
This shower theme would also work really well for a baby shower, assign times like bed time and bath time.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
