Bridal Shower Checklist
by Trish Burrell

Having a bridal shower checklist can relieve stress, keeping you on track and organized. So, if you're the one planning the bridal shower, here are some important tips to keep in mind:

• Make a guest list with each person's name, address, phone number, and email address.
• Have a plan in place to get the guest of honor to the party.
• Have directions to the shower written down. If someone needs help at the last minute, you will be ready with a quick reply.
• Appoint a person to greet the guests, and someone to tell them where to park.
• Consider using name tags, if many guests will be meeting for the first time.
• Make a list of all bridal shower decorations. If you need help with them, ask ahead of time. If your location allows, set it up the night before.
• Have plates, cups, napkins and utensils ready.
• Assign someone to oversee the menu, and refill snacks, buffet items, etc.
• Select music to complement your theme.
• Ask someone to take pictures. Have disposable cameras available, for guests to take candid shots.
• Have all items ready for games: paper, pencils, cards, etc.
• A gift helper to write down each gift, and who gave it.
• Someone appointed to give out the favors as guests are leaving, and to thank them for coming.
• RELAX...

  A bridal shower is a memorable event to be enjoyed by all, including the hostess. Having a list and checking off the items ahead of time will help this party run smoothly.
