throwing a bridal shower...need help, please

[lulu66]

okay, i am the matron of honor in my best friends wedding (and the only attendant on her side), so i am in the midst of planning her bridal shower. i am doing a red/aqua carnival-circus theme. peanuts, popcorn, red & blue soda in bottles w/tickets around the neck. i've got it all pretty worked out in my head but i'd love a "saying" that ties the carnival-circus theme into the bridal shower & i'm at a loss. can any of you creative ladies help me come up with something cute (& totally cheesy is ok) that combines these two things??

THANKS!!!

Hmmm... Big Top Bride? Tie the Knot Under the Big Top? Circue du Bride (or Bride's Name)? Bride's Name & Groom's Name Circus (like the Barnum & Bailey logo)?

I think I'm stretching here...

There's that old saying, "Marriage is a three ring circus."

... Sorry, I don't have any great ideas!

i'm kinda digging "cirque du [bride's name]" & also the saying "marriage is a three ring circus"

thanks, ladies!! if anyone else has any inspiration, feel free to drop it here

If the bride/groom knows the full quote, would they be happy with it? (do they have a good sense of humor?)


Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning a handspring or eating with chopsticks; it looks so easy until you try it.

-- Helen Rowland

If you're having dancing/dancers:

Marriage is not a ritual or an end.
It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together
and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance
and your choice of partner.
-Amy Bloom
