Parties & Gift Registries

the bridesmaids' luncheon

The maids’ luncheon (or tea) is another popular pre-wedding party. Bridesmaids give the party as a "farewell" to the bride, although the bride may host the party herself.

This luncheon may take place at home or in a restaurant, wherever the bride and her ladies can take time to get together. The bride may give her ladies their wedding mementos at this time, schedule final dress fittings, display her gifts or simply revel in her friends’ company.

Refreshments are usually simple, such as finger sandwiches and coffee, and almost always include the Pink Lady’s Cake. This cake is made with a thimble, ring or coin baked inside. Tradition predicts a bright future for the attendant who gets the piece with the trinket in it, for she will be the next to marry.
