Planning Summary - Important thing you must do to ensure the party runs smooth

Keep the bride-to-be informed
Make sure your bridal shower doesn’t conflict with others that are planned
Keep track of expenses and borrow rather than buy!
Delegate tasks and rely on friends for help when you need it.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to have success.
Relieve the stress: Make the bridal shower a team effort.
Guests who are invited to a bridal shower are also wedding guests but not all wedding guests are invited to a bridal shower
Check with the bride-to-be about the other showers being planned and who will be invited in order to avoid duplication
Keep the number down to no more than twenty guests
Determine if the bridal shower is to be for family and friends, just friends, or couples (bride and groom’s friends)
Compile a guest list with up-to-date contact information
Hold the bridal shower two months before the wedding typically weekends or weekday evenings work best!
The type of event being planned will influence the time it is being held
Match the venue to the size of the guest list and the type of activities planned
Seek help in securing a more appropriate venue if your space is too small
Often the bride-to-be’s family will take care of the venue.
