Being a maid of honor is an ongoing role throughout the entire wedding planning process. Along with many other responsibilities, there is the bridal shower that you have to plan for your friend. Planning a bridal shower is almost like planning for a wedding only on a much smaller scale. You will have to select the theme, the location, food, guest list, invitations and the bridal shower favors! Here are a few tips on bridal shower planning and selecting a fun bridal shower theme.
Taking Things Easy
Everything will be much easier if you decide on the bridal shower theme right away. The perfect theme choice really depends on the personality of the bride. Knowing what she likes as well as what she dreams of having once she gets married will definitely help you out in choosing the theme and making a list of probable favor ideas. If it is not a surprise party, it becomes much easier because you can ask her outright. However, if it is a surprise party that you are organizing, then you must practice your sleuthing and investigating skills to find out what she prefers so that you will be able to buy the right bridal shower favors.
Tea Party for your Bridal Shower
If the bride is the dainty and shy type, a tea party is a beautiful way to celebrate this joyous occasion. You can hold it in a garden or in the backyard of one of your friend's home. Opt to order mini-sandwiches, petit fours, and several kinds of canaps that you can arrange on mini tower trays. You can also have games that can be played at the table and do not require the guests to run around.
For this kind of bridal shower, you can consider the "Meant to Bee" Honey Pot with Dipper which is perfect for tea parties like these. Another item that goes with this bridal shower theme is the Tea Time Heart Tea Infuser. For a really tasty treat, you can put a box of flavored teas and honey sticks in Tin Favor Pails and wrap it up in clear plastic tied with a pastel colored ribbon.
Doing a Kitchen Battle
If your friend loves to spend time in the kitchen creating delicious meals and desserts, then a kitchen-themed bridal-shower is the perfect one for her. Her bridal shower favors can include a Measuring Spoon and Whisk Set. This is just one of the practical wedding favor ideas that you can consider when choosing favors that your guests will really use. Another practical item is the adorable Sugar and Spice Ceramic Sugar Bowl, which is both unique and useful for all the ladies at the bridal shower. If there are bakers in the house, the Sweet Cupcake Lip Gloss will surely delight them.
Parties like these can be as informal as you want it to be. It is nice to see guests helping out with the preparation of the food. The only requirement is that the kitchen where the bridal shower will be held must be large enough to hold a dozen people at a time. Bridal shower favors can be distributed either at the beginning or the end of the bridal shower.
Bridal showers are a fun way to celebrate the soon to be couple, and help the bride prepare for a new life together with her husband by gifting her with the things that she will need as they start a new home together. The bridal shower favors are an essential way for the couple to show how much they appreciate the effort that everyone extended in making the event a success.
