Planning the Perfect Bridal Shower
There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to planning the perfect bridal shower for your loved one. Luckily, Pink Elephant Part & Tent Rental has put together an easy to read list. Continue on to read more.
Set a Budget
Make sure you plan wisely by keeping in mind all the expenses you will sustain for the event. Items such as food, beverages, decorations, venue, and anything else you would like to include must be considered as the costs add up quickly.
Choose the Date
Ask the bride-to-be which date is best for her to have the shower. The date should be targeted for a few months before the wedding.
Invitations for Guests
Have the bride-to-be prepare a guest list for you so that sending out invitations goes smoothly. Be sure to go over the list together to be certain that no-one was overlooked.
A Possible Theme
If the bride is extremely passionate about a hobby or vacation spot, feel free to center the shower around that particular theme. If you choose to do so, plan the decor to follow suit in line with the topic.
Location
You need to decide if you are going to have the bridal shower at someone’s home or at a venue. No matter where the location, with some “thinking outside of the box” imagination, it will surely be an awesome event!
Send invitations
Send invitations out to everyone on the guest list approximately four to six weeks prior to the date of the shower. Give yourself plenty of time before the invites need to go out to browse around and make your purchase. You may want to create a line on the RSVPs where guests can inform you of food allergies or dietary restrictions.
Set the menu
Arrange the type of food to coincide with the bridal shower’s theme if you can. Also take into consideration if the event is set for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Stick with dishes that the bride-to-be enjoys and are also popular with guests in general. Keep in mind any dietary restrictions indicated on the RSVPs and plan accordingly.
Find shower decor
Have fun and be creative when decorating for this joyous event. Try to personalize the shower as much as possible with trinkets that reflect the theme itself along with the future bride’s style and personality.
Plan the games and activities
Shower games are always a big hit and a great way of making everyone feel comfortable together. Chances are that not everyone will already know each other and games will put the guests at ease. Whether simple or more complicated, games and activities will exude a lighthearted, friendly vibe to your festivities.
Create a shower playlist
Music makes everything better! Why not have music playing in the background to offer added atmosphere. You can play a bunch of songs that are favorites of the bride-to-be as well as a variety of other tunes.
