Tips for your bridal shower
Keep it to the hosting group
This list is for the people throwing the shower. Guests are bringing a gift, so they usually should not be asked to bring food too.
Set the budget together
Agree on a rough spending limit before anyone claims a big item, especially when costs are being shared.
Give someone the gift list
Name one person to write down who gave what. It makes thank-you notes much easier.
Check the guest of honor's wishes
Some people love shower games, and others would rather skip them. Ask the maid of honor or a close friend before planning any.
Common questions
Who pays for a bridal shower?
Usually the hosts, who are often bridesmaids or relatives. Splitting tasks on a shared list helps keep things fair.
Should guests bring food to a bridal shower?
Generally, no. Hosts provide the food, though some family showers do run as a potluck.
Can I use this for a wedding shower for a couple?
Yes. Rename any item and the sheet suits a couples shower too.
