You were given the honor of being chosen the maid or matron of honor and now you have to step up to one of your big duties: throwing the bridal shower. The question is how are you going to arrange a bridal shower party that is fabulous, especially if you have minimal event planning experience. Plus, you need to worry about sending out the Bridal Shower Cards in a timely fashion so all of the guests can be notified and will be able to attend the special event. If you're worrying about any of these issues, keep reading for some helpful advice.
Planning Bridal Shower Games & Activities
Before you get too caught up in the Bridal Shower Invitations, you should give some thought to how your guests are going to spend their time at the event. Of course, you'll have refreshments and maybe gifts to open but that won't take up very much time. Unless you want to host the shortest party in history, you'll want to have some great ideas for entertaining all of the people who have received a bridal shower invitation.
If you're going to have a mixed guest list meaning many of the people won't know each other, consider starting with an ice breaking activity. For example, you could pass around a bowl of candy and ask each guest to take as many as she wants. Tell them not to eat the candy until you give them the green light. Then start at the beginning and have each guest tell one thing about herself for each piece of candy she took from the bowl. Although most guests will be nervous at first, they will quickly enjoy the activity.
Other fun activities include trivia games about the bride and the groom, matching famous romantic movie quotes to their movie or start who spoke them, name that tune with romantic music, or a version of pin the tail on the donkey which uses a blow-up photo of the groom and a boutonniere.
Getting the Bridal Shower Invite Ready
While you're planning the events, you should also be finalizing the guest list and choosing the most appropriate Bridal Shower Cards. If you're going with a theme, be sure to choose invitations that match. For example, if you are having a lingerie bridal shower and your theme is lingerie, you should send bridal lingerie shower invitations. Of course, you don't necessarily need a theme to throw a great party.
Be sure once you've selected the bridal wedding shower cards you add all of the important information about the event on the bridal invitations, including the RSVP contact details. You don't want guests to have to wonder how to get in touch with you. Additionally, if you have any special requests for guests, such as to keep the party a surprise, you should add that details to the card as well. Remember that bridal shower cards are going to ensure that you get your party off on the right foot.
