| A bridal shower is an event where a bride’s friends and family members celebrate and "shower" her with gifts. Planning a shower can seem like an intimidating task, but if you stay focused on creating a fantastic time for the guest of honor it will be much easier. There are some really great bridal shower planning ideas that will help you create a memorable event for the bride to be. Bridal showers are typically held several weeks before the wedding. Two or three hours are more than enough time for having the shower. Make sure to speak with the bride first so that you set a date that works for her and for her key family members. Pink and white is a classic color scheme for a bridal shower. |
Once you have your colors chosen, the decorating should be simple. Balloons are great decorations that can save you some money. You can make bouquets of latex balloons in the chosen colors and add a classic wedding dress Mylar balloon to each bunch. Another great room decoration is a life-sized cutout of the bride. It is a fun way to greet your guests as they arrive, or you can place it near the buffet or gift table where everyone will see it.
Some showers have a table that displays photos of the bride and groom. This is a great place for a cutout as well. It is also a nice place to set out a personalized sign-in board or a personalized guest frame with a photo of the couple. Have guests leave a message for the bride and groom with a personalized bridal shower pen, which guests can take home as a cute and practical bridal shower favor! Your bride to be will have a wonderful time at her beautiful bridal shower. She will always remember the special celebration that you put so much thought and love into!
