Hey Minnie,
ooohh planning a bridal shower … I know it feel like a lot of work right now but it can be sooo much fun so try not to stress out too much. They key to a great bridal shower is to make sure everyone is engaged and having fun.
The first step is to make the perfect guest list. You want to make sure to include all the bride’s close friends and not forget anyone, so make sure to get a list out of your sister.
Have you thought about having a theme? Somehow themes just make everything so much more fun. People might find it cheesy at first but its a great way to get everyone involved and plan everything accordingly (Decorations etc). It could be 50s or 60s, Color (Pink/Red), Bollywood/Lollywood …or even a kiddy theme (the bouncy castle would go well) really anything goes.
You can find lots of great games online …so I’m not going to get into that.
Make sure you have good food (I would suggest finger food so that people can concentrate on the games but thats up to you)
Lastly have a small little goodbag or giveaway for your guests. Its a nice little token for the guests to take home, but more importantly its a reminder that your sister can hold on to for a long while. However, if you don’t have the time or patience or money to have goodie bags for all the guests then how about something for just the bride. Personally I think a scarp book with wedding advice and words of love from the important women in her life and all her friends would make the best and most personal gift, that she is sure to cherish! And don’t forget to leave space where you can later put pics of the bridal shower.
Hope this helps… Best of Luck with everything!!
Cheers,
S.
