A round-the-clock bachelorette party involves guests being assigned a specific time of day to purchase a gift related to that time. It is best for couples setting up their first home, but guests’ financial status should be considered. Gift suggestions are provided for each hour of the day.
The 2 hour bachelorette party is a themed shower. Each guest is assigned a time on the invitation. They are then asked to purchase a gift related to that time of day. Sometimes the bachelorette party takes place for a full day, with guests coming and going at their invited “times.” More often than not, everyone comes to the shower at the same time so all the shower guests can enjoy the oohs and aahs over the various gifts.
Usually, a round-the-clock bachelorette party works best when the newlyweds are preparing housekeeping for the first time and need just about everything to set up their new home. Brides who already have a lot of what they need may be better served by signing up for the few things they don’t have. Alternatively, some brides may enjoy the more traditional lingerie shower.
Whether you’re the guest of honor or taking a shower, you should note that some guests may be offended by asking for specific gifts. Keep the guests’ financial status in mind before you decide to tackle this shower theme. Some people may find it difficult to afford items from their allotted “time” or would much rather give the bride a unique gift of their choice. It helps to have a lot of guests at the bachelorette party and a few guests assigned to each hour on the clock.
You really don’t have to go to this type of themed shower all day. You can also divide the shower not so much by hours but instead by hours of the day. For example, you could assign breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and after dinner. You may also want to include some gift suggestions for each hour or hour allotted.
If you are attending a round the clock bachelorette party, there are some good suggestions for any time of day. When you’re allotted a morning hour consider gifts like coffee makers, toasters, juicers, blenders for smoothies, breakfast cookbooks, or cookware like omelet pans or crepes and waffles. Moments around mid-morning might focus on servings of coffee or tea, crock pots (for around that time of day you’d make a late night meal), teacups, coffee pots, or even gourmet coffee or tea.
Lunchtimes suggest dishes for a lunch, perhaps salad plates from the bride’s selected porcelain pattern, cooking utensils, and sandwich makers. The afternoon hours might be best associated with small portions of desserts. You might consider cake plates, a cake stand, crockery, porcelain coffee or tea pots, or a cute apron.
Dinner times are often the easiest to come by when attending this type of bachelorette party. You can give away china, cutlery, pots and pans, linens, cooking utensils, bottle openers or pot holders, and tea towels. For the evening hours, consider towels, bedding, underwear, fluffy slippers, throws, a subscription to services like TiVo, or toiletries.
In all, with the different items around the clock, there really is quite a bit to choose from. A round the clock shower can be very useful for departing couples as they will have a little bit of everything they need. Both the bride and groom could attend these showers as the items are meant for both members of the couple. It is usually okay to invite both men and women to a round-the-clock shower or an engagement party based on this theme.
