We decorated it all really cute, with the colors her wedding was going to be, which were blue and silver. We didn't serve anything fancy, but alot of appetizers and desert type things on a buffet style set up, and then I think there was also like pasta salad and mostacholi, or something. It is really important to have great food. One way to do it, is to have everyone who is helping you plan this to bring a different dish, so you don't have to do it all yourself. At each table setting we had a cute little jewelry box for each guest. They were pretty inexpensive, yet really cute. I think we filled them with little candies. This worked since all our guests were females, you might need something more general if there are guys attending, too. For games, you can do bridal gift bingo. Its really easy, and its fun. Have a blank sheet with squares on it (like bingo) and then each guest has to fill in the boxes with items she thinks the bride is going to recieve. You play this while the bride-to-be is opening her presents, and the guests mark off with a highlighter or something when she opens something they wrote on their list. The first, say five, people or something to get a bingo get a prize. You could also do little quizzes like, 'how well do you know the bride to be?' or 'how well do you know the couple?' and then people with the most correct answers get a prize. For prizes, I would give out nice yet inexpensive things, candles, picture frames, photo albums, or fresh flower arrangements are always great ones. Also, bath products are great. One of the most important things for a bridal shower is making sure its well planned. You don't want people sitting around doing nothing forever, they will get bored, so make sure you have your games, the eating time, and present opening in such a way that it keeps the guests entertained. But, don't make so that it is too rushed either. Also, the guests will want to be able to see the bride opening her presents, so do it in an area where people can see her well. Have someone writing down what she gets and who it is from as she opens them so she can write her thank you notes later.
Let me know if you need more suggestions or help!
I hope this helped a little bit, good luck! [ Little_Miss_Cant_Be_Wrong's advice column | Ask Little_Miss_Cant_Be_Wrong A Question ]
