June 24, 2008 – 3:33 amStep One on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Create a Guest List
“Borrowing” the bride-to-be’s address book and calling all her family and friends or as many people as you can comfortably accommodate in your house and in your budget.
Remember, not everyone will be able to come, so remember that. Studies shows, that apart from close friends, co-workers and family members, about 30% of second tier friends will show up.. Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.
Step 2 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: The Bridal Registry
When you send out the invites, always put in a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that’s they don’t get three toasters and four waffle makers! Include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate
Step 3: Planning the Venue
Depending on the length of the guest list and the budget, decide if you want to host an intimate, cozy affair at hoe or have a more sophisticated and formal event at a restaurant or club house.
Step 4 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Decide on Food
Depending on the venue, make plans on catering the food, cooking it yourself or asking everyone to bring in a dish. If you choose the last option, always coordinate what each person is bringing so that you do not end up with four desserts and no salad. Assign one item to each person
Step 5 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Whip up Games
Do you want to stick to the traditional games or do you want to get creative? Search the web and you will amazed to see the myriad of varieties in shower games. To get a really new game, put a bridal shower twist on a classic. If the bride to be is very creative, gather scrapbooking and paper crafting supplies and ask each guest to make a scrapbook page for her telling her how special she is. Put them all together and gift it to the bride at the shower.
