Since it's June, it's a good bet you'll be spending at least one weekend walking down the aisle... for someone else's wedding. At one time, June was the month to get married, but now couples are tying the knot every month of the year. So there's a good chance bridesmaids are looking ahead to an August or September wedding and that could mean hosting a bridal shower now.

If your recipe collection consists of instructions for making a grilled cheese sandwich or boiling pasta, then it's time to branch out a bit into some "big girl" menus. The fantastic magazine Southern Living has some yummy recipes for salads, spreads, and other fresh food ideas. Get all the fabulous ideas to throw a spring affair to remember to impress the guests (and bride) without burning down your house.
