We know how hard it is to plan the perfect bridal shower for your bride. Between picking out a date that works for everyone to choosing a venue that is great for the celebration, you might need some assistance. Let’s review some basic DOs and DON’Ts to get you started.
Do take the initiative to plan the party - but don’t put it all on yourself!
Enlist the help of other members of the bridal party to get the event planned and coordinated. Discuss with everyone what they can each help with and assign them specific duties.
Do pick a date in advance - but don’t forget to check in with the VIPs for their availability!
Ideally you want as many people in attendance as possible, however such is life - and schedules don’t always line up. That said, make sure you ask any immediate family members and the bridal party for their availability. If you have people traveling from out of town, you’ll also need to take travel plans into consideration.
Do review your bride’s guest list - don’t invite anyone who isn’t invited to the wedding!
Before sending out any invites, reference your bride’s guest list. You don’t want to hurt any feelings by inviting guests who aren’t invited to the actual wedding. If however your bride is having a very small intimate or destination wedding - it is OK to include other guests.
Do have an itinerary - but don’t make it too strict!
Make a loose itinerary for the day to know what to follow - bridal shower games, sit down meal if applicable, opening gifts, etc. Have some back up plans as well incase there’s an unexpected lull in the party.
Do provide gift guidelines - don’t make gift giving X-rated!
Be sure to share the bride’s registry information and give ideas for any off-registry items she may want (perhaps gear for the honeymoon). Remind your guests that this is an all ages affair - any gifts that may be too raunchy should be saved for the bachelorette party.
