Pre-wedding preparations could be a very stressful time for the bride,
so throwing a bridal shower for her would help her to keep her mind off
the stress for a moment and enjoy spending time with family and close
friends. From coming up with an idea of presenting unique bridal shower
favors to the menu of the party, planning a bridal shower could be a
daunting task. Here are some simple steps to guide you when planning a
bridal shower.
The first thing to do is to sit down with the bride and discuss the
guest list. Decide on who she wants to attend the bridal shower. Usually
it is only for family and close friends, and be sure not to forget to
invite those from the groom's side as well. The guest list could be as
small as even four people to a suggested maximum of 20. You do not want
to invite too many people to a bridal shower as it could take away the
intimacy.
Once a guest list is set, it is time to arrange the invitations. Would
it be through word of mouth? Are you going to send the invitations using
the traditional way of invitation cards? With the technology nowadays,
most people choose to use e-mail and text messaging as well as phone
calls to invite. You decide on this as you do not want to burden the
bride.
When invitations are settled, you should start to plan the actual
bridal shower itself. Do you want the bridal shower to be as a simple
get together, or do you plan to blow a full-blown party? Perhaps, even
decide if you should have a theme for the bridal shower. Not to forget
the menu or food of the bridal shower party. Decide if you want to make
it intimate by serving home cooked dishes having the shower catered.
Next, decide on the activities throughout the bridal shower.
Now, the party is not only about receiving bridal shower gifts. As
appreciation for their attendance and for their gift, you should prepare
unique bridal shower favors for the guests. The favors could be
anything from homemade crafts to various ready-made favor kits sold at
bridal shops. It is important to show your appreciation to your guests.
Planning a bridal shower does not have to be stressful and complicated.
It just takes some proper step-by-step preparation approach, and you
should be able to throw a bridal shower for the bride and please her
while strengthening bond and relationships
