How do I plan a bridal shower?

The person who suggested some sites from The Knot is definitely on the right track. I frequently go there for advice/ideas. Try going with a whole theme for the party. ie, The brides favourites colours. Here are some more websites that should put you in the right direction. http://www.bridalshowergamesatoz.com/bridal-shower-themes.asp - Shower themes. http://www.bellissimofavors.com/bridal-shower-gag-gifts.html - Some gag gifts for the bride. http://www.bellissimofavors.com/bridal-shower-games.html - Bridal shower games. http://shop.cafepress.ca/bridal-shower - Great stuff for the bride and guests of the bridal shower. http://www.blissweddings.com/library/bridalshowers.asp - Guides/websites for shower ideas. Good luck, and have fun! Don't forget to incorporate some of the brides favourite things.. drinks, food, games.

Think about what the bride would like. Is she the type of bride that would want flashing lights and a dj or a more low key bride that wants just close family, etc? Decor: -Borrow pictures of the bride and groom (as children, growing up, together) and place them on a bulletin board or in frames around the room. A focal point could be their engagement photo if they have one. -You could use different shades of their wedding colors as bridal shower colors. If the bride has chocolate brown and deep purple, go for lilac and beige. Games: -A classic is using toilet, paper to create a dress for the bride, based on what they think she will wear. -Famous Couples: Write one half of a famous couple and have the guests guess the other half. -Word Scramble: Think of bridal words and scramble them; have guests solve as many as possible. -Famous People: Tape the name of a famous person to each guests back. They must find out who they are by asking fellow guests YES or NO questions ONLY (i.e. "Am I female?") Here's (http://bridalshoweretc.com/) a website that has a ton of hints about bridal showers. Good Luck!

Have a theme and color scheme. I would stick the brides favor color if not the wedding colors. Have her favorite foods as a menu and put other stuff as add ons to it.

There are things you can get like a bachlorette scavenger hunt that you can play, or even make your own, i know when i went to a friends the decorations were things in her favorite colors, or things that remind of her lover for him. But in all honesty have fun, use your imagination, im sure she will love it
