Question

i need to know what should i do in my bridal shower.i never attented one and am the first among my friends to get married.HELP PLEASE.i need ideas

Answer 1

Someone else plans it, not you so you don't need to worry about it. Its considered begging for gifts if you plan it yourself.

If your friend doesn't know what to do, all you need to do is have her send out shower invitiations with your registry information. Also, people need to RSVP to your friend and that should be on the invitation. If your friend wants, she can pick a theme like Honeymoon items, kitchen items, bathroom items, camping items, etc.

At the actual shower you play games, such as every team of 2 people gets a roll of toliet paper and 5 minutes. Whoever uses the toliet paper to dress up one team member the best wins. There's all sorts of silly games, look them up online. Google Bridal Shower Games.

Usually you have snacks, finger foods, and a cake.

You open all the gifts in front of the people and thank them and gush over how great the presents are. You still need to send thank you cards after the shower though.

The bridal shower should be thrown by the Maid of Honor....and sometimes a family member or someone in your church will offer to throw you one! You may end up with more than one shower......if thisis the case, you can have a Theme Shower....I've been to several theme showers because the ladies in their church or family members had already planned a traditional shower...some ideas for theme showers that can be for bridesmaids and close personal friends are lingerie showers, Kitchen showers, Trim the Tree Showers (everything you need for your 1st Christmas). Regardless of what type of shower it is, there is usually cake, finger foods, games and lots of laughter!! All you really need to worry about is Registering for gifts somewhere and let your Maid of Honor know so she can include your registry locations on your invitations. Common places for this is Bed Bath & Beyond, Linen & Things, Pier 1, Wal Mart, Target, JC Penney.....many many places have Bridal Registries...and most are also available on line so your guests don't have to worry about having the store close to them to be able to get something that will suit your needs! You can also register for China and place settings at a local gift shop ....just be mindful of your guests budget when registering for gifts and try to inlcude gifts in various price ranges! Congratulations and have fun!!

Answer 3

The one to host the bridal shower is the maid of honor. The bridesmaids can help with organzation or sugguestions. Usually, the bride registers at places like linen n things or bed, bath, & beyond or crate & barrel where people can buy you gifts and bring to the bridal party. It's a time to have fun with friends and family and eat and drink. Such party is also usually held at a catering hall where the shower cake along with the shower chair and umbrella and wishing well is provided. You can also play games and have giveaways as prizes. Make it fun and let alittle loose.....This is what I'm working on to give my best friend her bridal shower....Best wishes*******

Answer 4

A shower is traditionally a gift-giving party for the bride. The duty of throwing the bridal shower usually goes to the maid of honor. Usually games are played, and food is served. Couples showers are also becoming more popular (for both the bride and groom). Showers are usually separate from a bachelorette party, which is usually more rowdy.

You should sit back and relax about the bridal shower and let someone else take care of it!

Answer 5

Your bridal party throws it for you. it should be a surprise.
You just have fun, open your gifts and thank everyone for coming and for throwing you the party. Send thank you notes after.
But remember, you do give each person in your bridal party a gift at the rehersal dinner. That is usually the night before the wedding. The groom gives his best man and ushers a gift also.

Answer 6

Its your maid of honours job to organise everything you don't have to do a thing Im south African and what we do there is the bride to be gets dressed up but the bridesmaids in something ridiculous and embarresing you play embarresing games get taken out in public beg for money which you can get allot from and also get lots of presents and things towards your new house hold its really blind on the day but when you look back it is sooooo much fun Id do it all over again good luck :)

Answer 7

Well, you don't host your own bridal shower. Your mom, MIL, siblings, aunties, etc. may do it for you, or your bridesmaids. So wait for them to spring it on you! Don't fret, it's a fun time. All the girls, young and old, just gather at someone's home on a weekend afternoon to have girl talk, play a few games, have some snackies and desserts, and watch you open your gifts. It's really casual and lots of fun.

Answer 8

you should show up and thats all your matron of honor should throw a shower for you that all important women can atend and she should also throw you a not so good girl party like a lingere party..... in some cases you as a bride can throw your own but you have enough on your plate let them worry about that..... thats why you chose them as matron of honor any wedding websites will tell you that it is appropriate ettequite for mom to throw a shower and friend to do the raunchy bachleorettte party oooooohhh and congrats on getting married

Answer 9

Answer 10

It's a party for the bride-to-be, celebrating (or mourning) the end of her single life. The partygoers usually give her gifts and take her out for dinner, drinks (lots of drinks!) and some other type of debauchery...
