Hosting a bridal shower

Hostessing a bridal shower is a brilliant way for guests to get to know the bride a lot better and also those who are attending the wedding. It generally makes the atmosphere at the wedding and reception much more comfortable and people less awkward to be around.
Organising this shower (especially if it quite a large one) can be difficult but is generally done with ease with preparation as key. If you are the maid of honour then typically you would know or know of the guests that have been invited and can begin in good time to build a list and send out the bridal shower party invitation to each person/couple to have knowledge of who is coming.
Food and drink at a bridal shower is generally nibbles like mini cakes and chocolates and traditionally biscuits and tea, but depending on the bride’s idea of a party, this is generally up to you. Other ideas such as glasses of wine or other alcohol beverages might also influence a comfortable atmosphere.
For the party decoration, it could be a nice touch to add confetti to the table covers and small dangling objects associated with weddings (like horse shoes) to help create a theme to the occasion. Themed party products can also be used in bridal shower games and to decorate food and cake stands etc. To look for party supplies, many can be found on the internet and this is always a great way to find bargains for those with a budget.
Gifts for the person who’s occasion your celebrating are usually only found traditionally with baby showers and birthdays but sometimes it is nice to purchase a small gift for the bride as a good luck token or something to put them at ease. Beauty products, wine, or sentimental picture frames or jewellery are all perfect for the bride before her big day.
If your budget is endless then perhaps a small gift for the guests is also an option. Party bags are a bit extreme but a small present to say thank you for coming like a mini wine taster or small box of chocolates is a nice idea.
The main thing is that everybody has a nice afternoon/evening and it’s the perfect preparation time before the bride’s special day. To make it more of a spontaneous event why not surprise the bride by arranging for her friends and family to arrive without her knowledge for the shower and remember it is not necessarily just a female occasion!
