How to plan a bridal shower?

Planning a bridal shower is one of the exciting things the maid-of –honor and the bridesmaid can do to make the bride happy a she awaits her special day.

To plan the bridal shower, the hostesses (whoever might be planning the bridal shower) should have a theme. Having a theme would make the bridal shower more organized.

Next, they have to decide on how much they have budgeted to cover all the expenses. If they do not want to spend too much, they can go for a theme with fewer details and also buy gifts that are too expensive for the guests. And also pick a location that is either for free like a friend’s house or a place that they can pay less money for.

Make or buy ready-made invitations, and send them out as early as possible so that guest would be able to put it in their schedule.

Gift ideas for guest at a bridal shower can be beauty products, Pastries or stationeries, it shouldn’t be expensive.

Plan for drinks and snacks too. If you like, you can get a chocolate fountain, where guests can soak up their cakes and fruits and enjoy.

Don’t forget that the bridal shower has to be fun and exciting, so pick games that suits the age of the people that you would be inviting for the shower.

It is common for bridal showers to have a theme for the gifts, so make sure the invitations clearly state the theme. Very often the maid of honor keeps the date of the bridal shower a secret. Surprise bridal showers are always a big hit, but make sure that all the guests know that the party will be a surprise so they don't accidentally inform the bride. Also, make sure the bride will be free because there is no party without the guest of honor.

Make sure you give out the party favors before people start leaving. A good idea is to have the party favors on a table by the door where people will pick them up on their way out. Some popular favors for this event are personalized mint tins with the brides name and date of the wedding shower on it. For decorations consider hanging a Happy Engagement banner and blowing up bridal shower balloons. A lace umbrella is always a nice touch for the bridal shower. more tips http//www.wikifashionista.com

It is generally the maid-of-honor's responsibility to host the bridal shower, and event which typically takes place during the day on which a bride to be receives gifts to prepare her for married life. Bridal showers vary in size, so since food is expected an appropriate venue is an important consideration. Restaurants can accommodate large parties with a special menu offered at one set price. Caterers may be able to recommend accommodations along with their services. It all depends on the desired theme or tone.

The shower should be held around six months before the wedding, and can include a gift registry, but can also work in conjunction with the existing wedding registry. Make a checklist of everything that needs to happen that day, and keep notes during the shower so that everyone is acknowledged when it's time to write the thank you cards.
