                                                               BRIDAL SHOWERS

                                                  

Bridal showers are meant to be the bride’s last ladies hangout as a spinster. It is basically supposed to be a fun themed event where the closest friends and relatives of the bride celebrate her transition into womanhood. Its celebration and hosting pattern differs from community to community, in some part it is hosted by the bride’s mum and aunties but the most common bridal showers are hosted by the bride’s friends and close relatives in her age bracket.

Beyond celebrating the bride’s transition, it is a time to shower the bride with love and gifts. It is widely believed that the bridal shower experience should last the bride a lifetime.


SURPRISE
The element of surprise is the foremost step to hosting a successful bridal shower, the bride most times might expect a shower therefore friends and planners must realize they still need to pull off a wonderful surprise.

            TIMING

FUNDING

 

Basically, the funding comes from an inner caucus of friends or all the participants might contribute towards realizing the bridal shower budget.

HOSTING A BRIDAL SHOWER

Hosting a bridal shower is fun, it could be done by a group of friends but best enjoyed when the services of a planner is employed as it will afford all friends to participant fully in the fun gathering instead of having some run around while others party.

A bridal shower could be hosted between 36weeks- 24hrs to the wedding day, this is to accommodate all participant’s schedule.

                                  

A couple of things go into planning a bridal shower, some are must have while others are for effect. Below is a list of things that must be considered and budgeted for so as to achieve a successful bridal shower:


                                                          THEME
                              

    
Creating a theme for a bridal shower makes it all fun. Most times the theme for a bridal shower is always something about what the bride likes, her profession or work environment, her colors or just something that best suits the participants or the shower's environment. These days a lot of creative ideas are adopted, we see friends in tan tops, t-shirts or robs with various inscriptions; we also see profession themed bridal showers wherein friends dress in sailors costume for example. Another twist to it is to have a color themed bridal shower like All white or pink bridal shower party. The options are endless, the most important thing is to have FUN!

  VENUE
The choice of venue is dependent of the theme, bride and participants location then time of event. The venue for a bridal shower can be indoor or outdoor, whichever you choose; accessibility, comfort and privacy must be guaranteed.

A bridal shower could be an indoor activity (A room, lounge or restaurant) or an outdoor event (park, garden, beach or poolside).

 

    DECORATIONS

     

 The beauty of hosting a bridal shower is the flexibility that comes to play in putting things together. Decorations for a bridal shower is quite simple and flexible.

            

There are a lot of Do It Yourself decorations ideas that you can get on the web, a lot of ready made tableware, balloons, props and other decorating items that can be used. 


Its important to ensure the decorations match the theme for the showers. Every needed item at a bridal shower could serve as a form of decoration. With a good planner you don't have a problem with mind blowing decorations.

CAKES

                                                                                                     

Cakes are so essential in hosting a bridal shower. It comes in different sizes and designs, the cake, the theme and decorations must have a striking synergy. It is always a beautiful sight to behold different types, flavors and shapes of cakes at a bridal shower. Good cakes are not cheap, go for the best.

             

 

                      REFRESHMENT

YES! Refreshment matters, did I hear someone say it is the main matter (smiles), it is absolutely essential, its nature is dependent on the theme adopted, but whatever is decided upon, crunchy snacks, finger foods and drinks must be available all through the event. 


  
                   

When they are served with colorful and inscribed plates and cups it adds to the ambiance of the event.

 

GAMES

A very interesting and essential part of bridal showers are the games, carrying everyone along makes it awesome fun. The list of games that can be incorporated into a bridal shower is long; most of them are DIY kind of games

            So many game ideas can be downloaded through the web. With games comes the need for favors or gifts, it doesn’t have to be something so expensive but has to very girly and useful. 




                                                        GIFTS



Not forgetting the need to bring gifts for the bride is highly essential, showering her with lovely gifts, love and fun is a good way to send her forth. Guests should ensure they present her with cute and significant gifts that will be cherished and kept over a long period of time.

The timing is dependent on the venue, the bride and participants’ time schedule, once there is enough fun it can span as long as wanted.
