Party Advice For Bridal Showers
Bridal showers are pre-wedding parties usually organized by the
bridesmaids or close female family members or friends. The
reason for the bridal shower party is to shower the bride with
good wishes. The bride is the center of attention at the bridal
shower. Although it should not matter who is hosting organizing
the event, traditionally, family was discouraged from hosting
bridal showers, because it may look like they are digging for
gifts.
Anyone can host the bridal shower. It can be hosted anywhere you
can party. Bridesmaids, friends, or family members host the
bridal shower party. The place of the party is usually someone's
home, but bridal showers can be held at restaurants. Important!
Only invite guest who will be invited to the wedding too. Anyone
invited to the shower would have every right to be expecting an
invitation to the wedding. To avoid embarrassing mistakes,
always consult the bride and key decision makers about the guest
list.
Weekdays are impractical for parties, and bridal shower parties
are no exception either. The bridal shower, just like your
wedding, should be on a day that is easy to attend. Saturday is
the best day to have the party. It makes it easy for your guests
to attend. The bridal shower should be close to the wedding day
but not less than a couple of weeks before.
Bridal shower party favors are an important part of the event.
Some of the most popular bridal shower party favors are
personalized chocolates, candles, compact mirrors, or
personalized bath gels. If you have a beach theme bridal shower,
your favors can compliment it. For example, dolphin wine
stoppers, or seashell candles are very popular beach bridal
shower party favor ideas.
Written invitations are not mandatory, but recommended. Most
people have an e-mail address, so einvitations may be the most
cost effective option. Bridal shower parties don't require a
formal invitation such as a wedding invitation.
If the party is at someone's home, usually finger food is
served. Pizza is another popular choice of food. Bridal shower
parties are informal events, and you don't need to make a big
fuss about the food.
