My sister is getting married in October what are fun creative affordable ways to plan a bridal shower and to make it extra special?
Answer
Have it at your home if you have enough room. If your sister belongs to a church check with them and see if you could hold it in their basement or wherever they have gathering for meals etc... most of the time they will let you do it and it shouldn't cost you a thing. Make sure that you send out invitations in advance. To cut down on cost make your own on post card paper and go to the post office to mail them. The postage fee is 24 or 25 cents.
Buy Index cards and have each person at the shower share some marital advice for a long and lasting marriage. Do a saying's game

Another one is to take white tissue paper divide people into groups or if it is small have each individual create a veil for the bride with the paper and tape this is really inexpensive and a lot of fun. The bride chooses the best one and wears it during the rehearsal.
Buy little gifts at your local dollar store such as lotions, kitchen towels and candle's etc. Get little gift bags or put them in a basket for who wins the prizes.
For food buy hamburger or sandwich buns and a couple kinds of meat and cheese, have chips and crackers, nuts, mints, cake and punch.

How to Avoid attention in public places?
Chino
I'm traveling to another country next Christmas and I need tips on how to blend with Society, Im gonna be in public for several days buying stuff for my wife. I've heard stories of Americans getting robbed and killed.. any help would be nice
Answer
Wear conservative, not casual clothes. Your shoes should be ordinary leather ones, never athletic sneakers. Have a dumb-looking satchel or tote bag, not a fanny pack or a designer bag. If you want to carry a camera, keep it in a zipper pocket rather than around your neck, and keep track of it. Leave your good watch and all rings except a wedding band at home.
Get one of those passport holders that you wear around your neck, under your clothing. Use it for your passport, the majority of your money, and all but one of your credit cards. You should be safe enough during daylight hours in the main commercial areas of the town. A plastic shopping bag with a local store logo will help you blend in a bit. (I once met a young woman who traveled a lot. Her hobby was collecting plastic shopping bags from all over, and then using them up one by one to carry her lunches and miscellaneous stuff.) Try to keep all your bulky purchases together in one bag. You won't look like a native, but you'll look like you know what you're doing, anyway.
If English is not the native language, don't lose hope. Many people have studied some English. Speak slowly and clearly, with simple sentences and a basic vocabulary. You can often communicate by dictionary, pictionary, and pantomime, especially if you carry a notebook and pencil.
Get on http://www.google.com/advanced_search and look up the country where you'll be going, plus "etiquette" and "customs" and "travel tips" and "places" and so forth. If it's a country with an iffy reputation, such as some countries in the middle east, the communist countries, and parts of Mexico, look up the American embassy there for any late-breaking news that affects visitors to the country.
A few "different" customs I've heard about:
â Singapore: It's highly illegal to chew gum and throw it away on the pavement. You can't even purchase chewing gum there. In general their laws are pretty strict.
â Japan: Make sure all your socks are in good shape, and bring along nice loafers rather than tie-up shoes. You'll be taking your shoes on and off a lot. Even in public stores and offices, you can walk in wearing your shoes, but if you step onto a carpeted area, you'll be expected to take them off. If you don't like the idea of sharing slippers from a pile made available for visitors, bring your own, but make sure they're real slippers, with smooth soles. Most transactions are done with cash. In large department stores and downtown areas, there'll be a few ATMs that can access bank accounts in the United States. You can cash travelers' checks at banks and stores, but it can be a tedious process. When it comes to Japanese toilet facilities, forewarned is forearmed. Look up information about them on the Internet!
â Finland: A sauna is a relaxing experience, but you do have to take off all your clothes. Bring a folded towel to lie or sit on. The lower tiers are cooler. The higher ones are more for Finnish people who are used to taking saunas. Fifteen minutes in there is probably enough for neophytes.
Remember the airline rule about liquids, gels, and creamy stuff â 3.4 ounce containers, max (about 100 milliliters). You can't take more of them than will all fit inside one quart-size zip-top baggie. (Bring two or three baggies in case one breaks.) There are special rules about aerosols. Look up the Transportation Safety Authority site for complete current information.
So, do your research, and have a good time!
