Planning
the Bridal Shower
Typically,
bachelor parties draw most of the spotlight when it comes
to wedding planning. Parties for the bride to be can also
be very important in order to send the bride-to-be off properly.
In order to put a bridal shower together, some planning
is needed. Generally, the more planning that has taken place,
the smoother that events will go. This article is designed
to provide an overview for what to do if you are in charge
of sending the bride-to-be off by throwing a bridal shower
party.
Co-ed showers
are growing in popularity, and can ease the tension as the
bridal party not only carries out their duties as attendants,
but also has to get to know the people they are spending
the day with. Break the ice early with a picnic, barbeque,
ski weekend, beach party, or even a scavenger hunt. The
better your bridal party knows each other, the more fun
they'll have on your wedding day.
When
you are considering what to do for a bridal shower, consider
the personality, likes, and
interests of the bride-to be. If she would
not appreciate a loud and boisterous night, then don't do
a loud and boisterous night. Moreover, you should also generally
not plan the bridal shower the night before the wedding.
Otherwise, the bride can be stressed about preparations
for the day tomorrow and may not be vigilant and alert in
order to make the last minute preparations.
The
person throwing the bridal shower will typically send out
invitations that will arrive a couple of weeks before the
party. You may want to make sure that the guests that you
would like to have show up will attend. You should generally
try to limit the number of guests to ten to 15 - this is
an ideal number. Otherwise it can be a logistical nightmare
making sure everyone is in one place. If you have more people,
you should develop a schedule.
Often
the shower is a time when friends from all stages of the
bride's life meet for the first time. Make it a sharing
time when each of her friends can share
their fondest memories of the friendship they've shared.
Have each shower guest bring a favorite photo of a time
or event they shared with the bride, and compile them in
a special scrapbook as a heartfelt gift for her.
Whether co-ed or traditional women only, the bridal shower
can be more fun with a theme.
Make it a casino night, a pool party, or a beauty make-over.
Gift themes are also fun and can be personalized for the
bride. Many people elect to take the bride out to a bar
or club in order to give her "a last night on the town."
Whatever
activity you choose, be sure to encourage the bride-to-be! |
