Nowadays, bridal showers have become an important part of an intending bride’s journey to becoming a Mrs. Bridal showers are meant to be an opportunity for friends to mingle, enjoy and gift the bride-to-be. In case you’re the hostess tasked with organizing one, here’s how to plan the best bridal shower party ever:
1. Planning
This is the most crucial yet stressful part of a bridal shower. Generally, the maid of honour with the help of the bridesmaids is in charge of planning the wedding shower. If there is no appointed maid of honour or bridesmaids, the future bride’s friends could organize a small gathering or outing. Anyone can be involved in the planning, except the couple.
2. Budget
Everyone’s financial capability should be put into consideration. Once you will determine how much money you have, you will be able to plan efficiently for the bridal shower party.
3. Theme
Choosing a theme will help decide which gifts they should purchase and which clothes the girls should wear. Some examples of themes are Ankara theme, vintage theme, lingerie party, and many more. The theme will determine the decorations and menu and create a specific atmosphere, which will make the party a day to remember.
4. Guests
Try not to invite anybody who’s not invited to the wedding (unless the couple plans to elope or is hosting a destination wedding). There’s nothing more hurtful than finding out you weren’t invited to the wedding but have to buy a wedding shower gift.
5. Games
Apart from having an interesting theme, you need to have good games and funny activities to fill the time of the party.
