Bridal Shower Planning Tips,brides have been showered with love and gifts.
Traditionally, brides have been showered with love and gifts. The bridal shower is the party that celebrates that exact tradition. Normally, the maid of honor organizes the bridal shower, friends and family members are usually part of the process. A more recent and more politically correct version is the couples shower. It is the same concept as a bridal shower, but it is not exclusive to girls. A couple shower enables friends and family to celebrate both bride and groom. Showers like any party planning takes considerable effort and organization.
Planning the bridal shower is the responsibility of the honor attendant or honor attendants, but planning is not limited to one honor attendant. Some of the best showers are planned as a team effort. If there is only one maid of honor, she shouldn’t hesitate to ask for help from the other bridesmaids, friends, and family. Too many people planning the bridal shower could cause extra stress.
Choosing the right date for the bridal shower is important. There is no rule about how much time before the wedding a shower needs to take place. It can take place several months or a couple of weeks prior the wedding day, but the planning should start at least six months before the party. Often, bridal showers are planned in the form of a surprise party. Regardless of the date of the shower, guest should be notified well in advance. Make sure that the date doesn’t conflict with holidays or other events that would prevent the guests from attending the party.
A bridal shower doesn’t need to be an expensive party, but setting your budget is key. Setting your date and your budget are the two initial tasks you must get out of the way. Once your budget has been determined, be sure the required funds are set aside. Don’t be shy and ask for help. Just because you plan the shower, it doesn’t mean you have to pay for the whole thing. Unless you are independently wealthy, ask all the bridesmaids to help out.
A bridal shower can be a discreet get together or an extravagant party with some great bridal Shower Favors or Party Favors. The sky is the limit, and, of course, your budget. Bridal shower favors are inexpensive gifts each attendee should get. If you organize the party, you should know enough about the bride to determine what kind of shower she would enjoy the most. Would she enjoy a relaxed shower at somebody’s house, or is she expecting a more formal party in a hotel ballroom? Does she have specific hobbies or interests that would provide an interesting theme for the party?
It is important to only invite guest to the bridal shower who will also be invited to the wedding. If you are unsure about who should be on the guest list, feel free to ask the bride to help out. (This option should be ruled out in case of a surprise party, but you can always ask the bride’s mother or a close friend.)
You can help your guests by providing them with information about where they can purchase presents. The guests will appreciate your help because it makes it easier for them purchase the proper gifts.
The bridal shower invitations can be traditional cards or even e-cards. Most people have an e-mail address, so an electronic invitation might be a feasible free option for your shower. If you have a larger budget, you might be interested in sending out personalized chocolate bars as bridal shower invitations. Regardless of what form of invitations you decide to use, make sure they are sent out two to six months in advance.
Food is an important aspect of the planning process, and it is very much influenced by where the bridal shower is held. If you’re planning an at-home bridal shower, you may have a potluck or a catered party. If you’re having the shower in a restaurant or a hotel, make sure they prepare one of the bride’s favorite meals.
