Step One on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Create a Guest List
Firstly "borrow" the bride-to-be's address book and call all the names you feel you are familiar with her closest friends and family or as many names as you can comfortably accommodate in your house and in your budget.
Don't forget, not everyone that you plan to invite will be able to come. Studies have shown, that apart from close friends, co-workers and family members, only 30 per cent friends will show up. After all they have all played the bridal shower games many times before and there is monetary outlay involved (getting there and drinks). Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.
Step 2 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Bridal Registry
When sending out your invites, always include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate. As well as this include a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that's they don't get three toasters and four waffle makers!
Step 3: Planning the Venue
Depending on your guest list and budget, decide if you want to host an quite affair at home or have a more sophisticated or wild event at a restaurant or club.
Step 4 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Deciding on Food
Now you have the guest list and a venue for your party make plans for the party food, cooking it yourself or asking everyone to bring in a dish are booth good options that can save you money. If you choose the last option, always try to coordinate what each person is bringing so that you do not end up with four desserts and no salad.
Step 5: Games
Do you want to stick to the traditional games or do you want to get creative? Search the web and you will amazed to see the myriad of varieties in shower games. To get a really new game, put a bridal shower twist on a classic. If the bride to be is very creative, gather scrapbooking and paper crafting supplies and ask each guest to make a scrapbook page for her telling her how special she is. Put them all together and gift it to the bride at the shower.
