I was recently involved in co-ordinating a bridal shower for a university student. The date and location were secured. The invitations went out. The toast to the bride-to-be was lovingly compiled. Food was prepared. The location was adorned with streamers and helium balloons. Tables were covered with tablecloths and colourful edible sprinkles. The head table was lovingly adorned. Smacking lips approved the punch. The centre pieces of tissue paper covered jars were filled with kitchen utensils of coloured silicon spatulas, collapsible picnic plate covers, tongs, etc. A towel ‘cake’ was adorned with Christmas strands. What fun we had preparing for a lovely event for a much-loved person – imagining her delight, while also keeping in mind the practical use of items for many happy years to come.
The day arrived and so did the guests, carrying pretty and practical gifts alike. This young lady was showered with love in the form of gathered relatives and friends, along with thoughtful gift choices made with her in mind.
Fast forward…The joy and busyness of a wedding day. Life planning decisions to be made. Family planning decisions to be made. Mother’s Day. Father’s Day. Possible infertility. A new life to nurture. Family planning after childbirth. Eventual premenopause.
Where is the party? Where is the support? Surely, some seen and unseen hands and hearts will still remember and reach out.
