Bridal Shower Planning: Keeping it Under Wraps
Why You Should Keep it a Secret
There are two reasons for this. If the bride likes to be on top of things (read as have everything go according to her plan) it will give you some leeway to be creative when planning her bridal shower. Otherwise if she is in to the planning, you will just be puppets doing everything she asks you to ? plus picking up the tab for her outrageously priced cake and party favors. If it is a surprise, you can get away with whatever theme, style and budget you are comfortable with.
On the other hand if your friend or family member, a.k.a the bride is very laid back, she might not even be expecting a bridal shower out of the blue so by planning a surprise bridal shower you will really be making her day. Especially if this is not the first time she is tying the knot or if she has children, she might think no one is bridal shower planning for her. Well, capitalize on her low expectations and really make her glow.
Bridal shower planning should keep the brides likes and dislikes in mind but it shouldn’t be the bride who does everything. She is the guest of honor and guests just arrive and are entertained. So keep it that way. Ask her mother or best friend to let you in on her likes and dislikes in case you are planning the Bridal Shower instead of them. Call her friends in advance and ask them for ideas, but not too many…..
