Bridal Showers

Bridal showers are a very fun part of the whole wedding theme. They are designed to honor the bride and to shower her with attention. Most people bring a nice gift for the bride to the shower including lingerie. It is customary for the maid of honor to host the bridal shower. In many instances the rest of the bridesmaids also help with the planning and the cost of the event.

A bridal shower can be as casual or as elaborate as you want it to be. Many people hosting them turn to the bride to find out what she would like. They want to do this as a gift to her, so it needs to be something special. They may ask her to supply them with a guest list as well so that no one is inadvertently forgotten.

A bridal shower can take place outdoors at a park or at someone’s home. It depends on the time of the year and how large of an event you are hosting. Some people prefer to have a luncheon for the bridal shower and it takes place at a nice restaurant. Make sure you plan the date well in advance so that the bride doesn’t have here schedule full. This will be a very busy time for her.

It is very common to play games at a bridal shower. It really depends on the amount of time you will have and the people attending. There are some fun games though that can be played such as trivia. The guests have to guess how the proposal was, when the couple first met, and more. You can also have each guest write down a memory of the couple on an index card. This way the bride and groom can have those to cherish as well.

Creating small gifts for the guests to take with them is also customary for a bridal shower. It can be small containers of candy, body wash, grooming sets, and anything that you feel is appropriate. These gifts don’t have to cost very much money but they can add up if you have a large guest list. There is plenty of planning for a bridal shower but it can be a great way to share the excitement of the wedding.
