BRIDAL SHOWER Thursday, September 18, 20085:44 AM 0 Comment



When a friend told me that she is about to get married. I can't help but to be really excited about the event. I know they both deserved to have that wedding. And as one of their friend..i am here to help them in one of the most important phase in their life..Their Wedding day. But hey. I am not planning for the wedding this time. I am helping them with the preps that they are into. I am about to start on planning and organizing the BRIDAL SHOWER. Yup. The first time i'll be doing such. It's exciting. I went over the details after i told the Bride that i'll be taking over the shower..and telling her that i'll organize the event. Olah! I am now acting to be the host..with one of her dear friend.

Honestly. I am clueless with everything. But of course with my past experiences.. i know that i can have a perfect bridal shower for her..and i now have something in mind. *wink

I copied this Bridal Shower Survival Guide from www.bridalshower.com

ELEVEN EASY STEPS FOR A GREAT SHOWERShowering the bride with friendship and love is the purpose of a bridal shower. Use our eleven tips below, and you are on your way to lovely shower she will remember forever!

1. Who will plan Typically, the host of the party is the bride's maid. The bride's maid and bride work the details together. If it is a surprise shower, then the bride's family helps out.

2. BudgetThe bride's maid is traditionally responsible the expenses. The bride's family often helps by providing the location and/or invitations. Determine how much the shower can cost.

3. Guest List Organize your guest list by asking the bride and groom who they would like to have at the shower. Usually the bride and groom's mother will have a list of who they would like to invite. Get address, phone numbers and email addresses. Decide if it will be a "girl's only" shower or "couples".

4. InvitationsInvitations Invitations can range from the casual (a phone call) to the most formal (printed invitations). You decide what will work for your shower. Be sure to include all necessary information on the invitation.

5. ThemeDecorationsSelecting the menuAlthough your menu should reflect your theme, the time of day is as important, as well as the number of guests. Do not try to outdo the last shower you attended. Make this a day of relaxation for the bride, her guests, and yourself. Consider the amount of time and room available for the shower, as well as any special dietary needs of the bride and her guests.

7. LocationChoose a location that is easy to get to and will accommodate the needs of the party. If you are planning a theme, consider matching the location. Have an idea of how many people you expect before arranging any final details.

8. Select the dateThe bridal shower is normally around eight weeks before the wedding. Showers are held on weekends and during the week. Try to make the time and day convenient for everyone including any out-of-town guests.Folklore:"marry in July..."

9. Selecting the timeIf most of the guests attending the shower work, then an evening or weekend shower will probably work best. Consider a weeknight for a change of pace. This will give everyone a night out, rather than a weekend day away from their spouses or boyfriends. If the weekend is the only time that will work for you, try to plan your shower early enough in the day for all who must travel to attend.

10. GamesEvery fun bridal shower includes at least one game. And don't forget the prizes

11. Entertainmenthref="http://www.bridalshower.com/planning/threestages.html">Make sure as guests arrive, they are introduced to one another. One way to break the ice is to provide name tags with a small note, such as, "I attended grammar school with Susie". This is a sure way to start conversations. Make sure to offer your guests liquid refreshments and whatever else you have provided. Set the mood with lighted candles, flowers, and decorations. You want your guests to enjoy the day (or evening) as much as the guest of honor.

I have read a book for the bridal shower and i am all set to have the shower as soon as every details is polished. I am so excited about the event plus i'll have a lot of friends to back me up. .soon. Yes, they still don't know that our friend will get marry soon..lol. She's still waiting for the time to tell it to the girls. Well, i know that once they've come to know it..they'll be thrillejust like me.
